maxscript number count not rendering over DR or Backburner

[stevesideas]

Is there a reason that a script assigned to a text spline that allows the text to count up based on the frame number would not render over DR or backburner. The script is integral to the max text so I'm not sure why this won't work.

Are you able to post the script?

To answer your question, no there is no reason why it shouldn't work.

Here's how I would do it:

(
	theText = text size:10 pos:[25,0,0] wirecolor:yellow

	textCtrl = float_script()
	textCtrl.addNode "theText" theText

	textCtrl.SetExpression "theText.text = currentTime as string\n0"
	theText.kerning.controller = textCtrl
)
