set multiple objects rotation values to 0

[grue1970]

hello.  how can i use maxscript to set the current rotation values of multiple objects to be equal to zero?  i'm not having a lot of luck searching for this.  i did find a script that seems to do the trick, however that script also moves the object quite a distance from where it originally is.  for example some objects i've selected in the viewport are moved a couple hundred feet in the + z world axis, some moved in all 3 world axis several hundred feet.

$.rotation = eulerangles 0 0 0

i'm hoping to find a solution where i can just type it in, vs. a maxscript that has a UI and several options.

thanks!

for node in selection do node.transform = translate(scalematrix node.scale) node.pos

or

for node in selection do node.rotation.controller.value = quat 1

both solutions above don't really work if a rotation has keys (animation). animated rotation should be completely replaced.

for exampe:

for node in selection do node.rotation.controller = createinstance euler_xyz

thanks a ton this worked great!  i had about 200 2d people that were rotated at different angles on at least 2 axis because of a look-at contraint (to a camera).  i wanted to get them all rotated back to "zero" so i can reapply helpers and look-at's.

definitely going to read about this in the manual.

I know it has been a while since the topic have been closed but I wonder if it is possible to do this trick but only to one particular axis? I am total lame in maxscript, so if someone have an idea how to do it I would be very greatful 🙂
