Spring Controller CA

Anonymous

I'm writing a CA for a spring setup and want to be able to key the spinners
for tension and damping on the spring. I only see utility functions for
things like setTension, setDamping, etc... The spring dynamic settings
are not animatable? Can I use my CA to mimic animatability? I have
parameters for these attributes that show up in Track View, but since
the spring dynamics settings don't show in Track View, I can' wire them.
What else can I do?

got an answer to my question in Rigging area: area.autodesk.com/forum/Autodesk-3ds-Max/rigging/spring-controller/

basically, the spring dynamics settings are not animatable, but, by using another contraint, I CAN control
the overall effect with the list weights

(might be able to do without a list and just control the spring's weight. i'll have to try this)
