Note: the getItem function returns the value of specific property of the specific object inside the array.
getItem index:[index1,index2,index3] prop:property

Note1: setTarget function can return the value of the any propety of any object outside the array.
setTarget object:object name prop:property name
Note2: if you dont mention the index argument in getItem function it returns the value
of the property for the current item in the array.
getItem prop:property name

surfaceController takes following arguments:
surface:surface name –Name of object in 3ds Max
feedback:transform/position/rotation –function returns transform matrix, position in point3 value and rotation in EulerAngles value
uOffset:offset value –Increase or decrease offset in U direction
vOffset:offset value –Increase or decrease offset in V direction
normalOffset:offset value –increase or decrease the normal offset
mode:1 or 2 — set the controller in relative mode (2) or absolute mode (1)
order: 1 to 9 — choose the order of rotation (items in drop down menu) works only when feedback is set to rotation
data: 1 or 2 — use uv-mapping information (2) or NURBS evaluation functions (1)
uv:1 or 2 — choose the uv direction.
surfaceID: index number — identify the surface index when works with nurbs object or choose
the UV mapping channel when working with mapping information

Reference: curve controller function takes the following arguments:
curve: object name –The name of object in 3ds Max
dim: 1,2 or 3 — set the controller on specific dimension.
feedback:transform/position/rotation –function returns transform matrix, position in point3 value and rotation in EulerAngles value
localOffset: offset value — offset the index value and shifts item along the path.
endOffset: offset value — move all items away from the last point of the path.
startOffset: offset value — move all items away from the first point of the path
mode : 1 or 2 — set the controller in absolute mode (1) or relative (2)
order: 1 to 9 — choose the order of rotation (items in drop down menu) works only when feedback is set to rotation

Reference: linear controller function takes the following arguments
i: index value — index of item in X direction
j: index value — index of item in Y direction
K: index value — index of item in Z direction
dim: dimensions in point3 format — defines the directions that linear controller will be applied on.
for example [1,0,0] means only in x direction ,[0,1,1] means in Y and Z.
Note1: if you don’t pass the i,j or kargument to the function it considers the current item indexes by default.
Note2: if you dont pass the dim argument to the function it considers all directions by default.
