Please help me about modifier in Maxscript.

[mihi0315]

I am creating a modifier to inset and then extrude, but only the extrusion is being executed.

Please help me understand what’s wrong.

plugin modifier Test

name:"Test"

classID:#(0x3bc16b9f, 0x740a29ad)

extends:Edit_Poly

replaceUI:on

(  

    parameters main rollout:params  

    (  

        Gap type:#float default:1 ui:spnAmount  

        on Gap set val do (  

            delegate.setOperation #Inset

            delegate.insetType = 1

            delegate.insetAmount = val

            delegate.modifier.Commit()

            delegate.setOperation #ExtrudeFace

            delegate.extrudeFaceHeight  = val

            delegate.modifier.Commit()          

        )

    )

    rollout params "Parameters"  

    (  

        spinner spnAmount "Gap: " type:#WorldUnits range:  [0, 1e6, 1]  

    )  

    on create do  

    (  

        delegate.setEPolySelLevel #Face      

    )

)

regards!

I don't think more than one operation is allowed ... I think only one local data change is intended.
The only solution I see is to use two modifiers - #insert and #extrude.

Thank you for your reply.
It seems that only one operation is allowed.

I will try the solution!

Kudos to Swordslayer for showing a skillful way to extend the Edit_Poly modifier.

(Note. To those interested, the scripts were written five years ago, and using a Change Handler is no longer necessary in recent MAX versions.)

Thank you for the reference site.
I also used it as a reference.

I thought it would be easier to work if I could create a script that could perform multiple operations at the same time.

“Multi-operations” will work better. But this cannot be done by extending Edit_Poly.
Maybe there's a hack, but I don't see it yet.
