Proxy Instance Error

[pixela]

I try to run this,
It asks me "all proxy with same mrmesh file will be converted into instances. Are you sure?" I click yes and I get error:
Type Error: call needs function or class, got:undefined

I don't know if this is built in with SP5 or is it from the Vlado's script. ( when upgrading to max 2011, I installed all scripts I was using for max 2009)

Here is the text in Maxscript:

macroScript VRayProxyLister category:"VRay" buttontext:"VRayProxy instance check" tooltip:"Check for VRayProxy's with the same .vrmesh file" (
local res=queryBox "VRayProxy's with the same .vrmesh file will be converted to instances. Are you sure?" title:"VRayProxy instance check"
if res then enumVRayProxies()
)


Please help me.

Are you sure you copied all scripts? Looks like some script is missing.

This is the script in my script folder:

fn compVRayProxyFunc a b = (
if (a[1]<b[1]) then return -1;
if (a[1]>b[1]) then return 1;
return 0;
)

fn enumVRayProxies = (
files=#()
for node in $* do (
if (classof node==VRayProxy) then (
append files #(node.fileName, node)
)
)
qsort files compVRayProxyFunc
if files.count==0 then messageBox "There are no VRayProxy's in the scene" title:"VRayProxy instance check" beep:false
else (
fileName=files[1][1]
origNode=files[1][2]
for i=2 to files.count do (
if (files[i][1]!=fileName) then (
fileName=files[i][1]
origNode=files[i][2]
) else (
format "% : %\n" files[i][1] files[i][2]
instanceReplace files[i][2] origNode
)
)
)
)

macroScript VRayProxyLister category:"VRay" buttontext:"VRayProxy instance check" tooltip:"Check for VRayProxy's with the same .vrmesh file" (
local res=queryBox "VRayProxy's with the same .vrmesh file will be converted to instances. Are you sure?" title:"VRayProxy instance check"
if res then enumVRayProxies()
)





This was what was in display in maxscript window after error message :

macroScript VRayProxyLister category:"VRay" buttontext:"VRayProxy instance check" tooltip:"Check for VRayProxy's with the same .vrmesh file" (
local res=queryBox "VRayProxy's with the same .vrmesh file will be converted to instances. Are you sure?" title:"VRayProxy instance check"
if res then enumVRayProxies()
)

Vlado,
is there a way to make this script wok in max 2011?

[oligophant]

same here, it helps you to optimize your scenes, any hints of making it work on max 2011 could be great...

Isn't there any way to adjust this script for max 2011?
I really need it.

[vlado]

The script works fine in 3ds Max 2011, but you need to save it into an actual .ms file in your scripts\startup folder of 3ds Max. Otherwise, you will have to paste the whole thing into a new MaxScript and re-evaluate it each time you want to use it.

Thanks, I think I have placed it under enu folder before. Now it is working

I'm having an issue with this script, worked before but now I'm getting:

" -- No ""<"" function for undefined "

pop up error.

[TheMulf]

I've re run the script, same error with this line highlighted "if (a[1]<b[1]) then return -1;"

[vlado]

Is it possible that you have a VRayProxy object with no file name specified?

Best regards,
Vlado

[TheMulf]

Thanks, that worked I had two proxies w/o a file. But now I get this error:

"-- Unknown system exception"

and it higlights this line of code:

format "% : %\n" files[i][1] files[i][2]

Thanks Vlado!

[vlado]

This one I'm not sure about, the line just prints out some text. You can comment it out (put -- before the format command), re-evaluate the script (with Ctrl+E) and run it again to see if it helps.

Best regards,

All is well now

Thanks again!
