maxscript

call maxscript from another maxscript

I'm trying to write a function that calls an external script but am not having any luck with the syntax

scripts_folder = "C:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\3ds Max 2008\\Scripts"
var script1 = "hello_world.ms"

-- use function to call scripts
callScript(script1)

-- function callScript
function callScript script =
(
getFiles scripts_folder + "\\" + script
)
Solution

  • Figured it out!

    --- "hello_world.ms"
enter function hello =
(
print "hello the world"
)


---- another _script.ms
fileIn "hello_world.ms"

-- use function to call scripts

    hello ()

    It seems that fileIn works better than include
