Parametric truss
Level: Advanced
In This Video:
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

Thank you a lot, I’vefound mistake in apsence of space between 0 and “then” in myn.
But there appeared one more :
>> MAXScript Script Controller Exception: — Runtime error: Shape operation on non-shape: Editable Mesh <<
And it allways comes except i use line without any modifier. including nurbs curve!

Hi Viktor ,
You are missing the ‘else’ expression after ‘then’.
the correct syntax is:
for the vertex 1 :
offset = if index1/2-int(index1/2)== 0 then -1 else 0
curvecontroller curve:$top localoffset:offset
——————–
for the vertex 2 :
offset = if index1/2-int(index1/2)== 0 then 1 else 0
curvecontroller curve:$button localoffset:offset

I’m doing the same, your video shows. but allways stack with different kind of mistake in MaxScript.
Can you please write down script as it is in your example.
