intermediate maxscripter to basic mel artist questions(decent managment)

[lalamax3d]

hopefully, there must be way.

in 3dsmax, as scripts start getting huge / complicated, i learned from bobo / wahooney / neale / tim hormis >> how to break rollouts into separate peices and rather than writing so many global stuff, we can simply write one global structure and add so many functions to use any where.

my questions are:

1- if i have 10 procedures which i need to call them from some UI, then
- is it must to make each procedure global.??
- is there a way to make one global structure / library and put all of them in one file.

2- we can't have procedure inside procedure ? right?
3- is it possible / logical
- in a script, first define layout / controls
- then define all procedures ( local )
- then define all events >> controls binding to functions...
or totally wrong ??

hope to hear soon
thanks

is a link to more advanced approach of modules......the tutorial is half way down....Davvey World and Modules.....

you should also download the Davvey scripts from highend3d.....they are very complex.. And will give you a good foot print to follow.

so yes, you can organize scripts and libraries in many different ways. Another great UI script is Seth Green's Tippet Lighting Rig. It is very advanced and detects pre-existing rigs and modifys the UI to an edit mode accordingly.
