  is the tutorial just for the parametric size, or also for the displacement of the bricks?
  or is the displacement just the y-position you need to randomize?

  No problem, I’ll send it to your email. It actually tells us that there are some difficulties in understanding of some feature of script controller. I’ll be modifying them in next version.

  Hey Ali, I’m sorry to be a big nag, but my efforts with this effect are driving me nuts. I can admit my stupidity, because you were kind to answer my questions multiple times and I still can’t figure this basic task out. I was wondering if you could be kind enough to send me a max file with really basic setup of this with boxes. That way I can follow your source code and look through the file to really get a deeper understanding. I promise this is the last time I ask.

  Yes , you need to, but make sure you copy them correctly, the blank spaces between each two arguments are mandatory.

  Thank you for taking a look at my file so quickly. One other thing, do I still have to copy the values for length and width from the video still? I assume I do but not sure?

  Hi Felice,
  Here is the code, Just copy And Paste:
  ————–Y_position———————–
  p1=getItem Index:[index1-1,index2,1] prop:y_position
  W1=getItem Index:[index1-1,index2,1] prop:width
  w2=getItem prop:width
  p1+(w1+w2)/2+1.0

  ————–Z_position———————-
  P1=getItem Index:[1,index2-1,1] prop:z_position
  L1=getItem Index:[1,index2-1,1] prop:length
  L2=getItem index:[1,index2,1] prop:length
  P1+(L1+L2)/2+1.0

  You had some maxscript syntax problems

  Well I am using 2011, could that be a reason it’s not working properly?

  Hi Ali, I tried using the following script controller for a brick wall I want to create. I copied the code you use for X Position and I wrote it for Y Postition and the Z Position I left like yours. I wanted to array on the Y axis instead of the X. However when I press preview I get an error message : –No “”+””function for undefined ???????? What could that be? I’m not sure because I am horrible with script languages and formulas. I just like to create the design and skip the math. Hope you can help me out. You’d be a great hand. Thanks
