Help with Max scripting

[aaouviz]

Man, I suck at maxscript...

I want to make a simple "Save and then Exit" script (via toolbar button).

This is what I have, but I can't quite get it to work as intended. Any helpers out there? Many thanks!

Code: [Select]

--Original script by: aaouviz
------

macroscript SaveAndExit
category: "AAScripts"
buttonText: "Save and Exit"
tooltip: "Save and Exit"
Icon:#("AAGen_01",1)


(
saveMaxFile
)
quitmax #noprompt

I assume you just want File > Save correct? Overwrite previous version?

Code: [Select]

--Original script by: aaouviz
------

macroscript SaveAndExit
category: "AAScripts"
buttonText: "Save and Exit"
tooltip: "Save and Exit"
Icon:#("AAGen_01",1)
(
        max file save
quitmax #noprompt
)

Amazing, and perfect as always James.

Thanks a million!

Glad to hear its working as expected :)

Hi,

picked up the idea but implemented it as file menu item. Additionally, saving only happens if a save is required (no changed made to scene, relying on getSaveRequired()). Script goes to any autostart folder (usually scripts\startup). Sharing it as an alternate option.


Good Luck

Excellent!

The 'saving only happens if a save is required' seemed a bit beyond my capabilities, so I didn't bother. But this is clever of you, and I feel pleased to have I've influenced you, Frood :)

Yes, thanks for letting me steal that idea to use them for myself - which is my daily deed ;)


Good Luck
