Script Wiring rollout
This rollout appears in the parameters panel below the main operator rollout
after you highlight the operator, right-click it, and then choose Use Script
Wiring. Thereafter, a check mark appears next to the Use Script Wiring in the
right-click menu, and the rollout appears whenever you highlight the operator.
To turn off script wiring, choose Use Script Wiring again from the right-click
menu.
Script wiring lets you use a script to control parameters that you normally
specify in the operator's parameters. Place a
Script operator on page 2953 before
the Force operator in the event, and then use it to define values in the
particleFloat channel. You'll find an example script below.
Use Script Float As Choose either of the following:
■ Not Used Particle Flow uses the
Influence setting on page 2949 specified
in the Parameters rollout.
■ Influence Particle Flow applies the script to the Influence setting.
particleFloat Sample Script
NOTE See this topic in the online User Reference for the particleFloat sample
MAXScript code.
Procedures
To affect particle motion with force space warps:
1 Add one or more force space warps to the scene, and set them up as
necessary.
2 In Particle View, add a Force operator to any events in which particles
are to be affected by the forces. To affect particles in all events, add the
Force operator to the PF Source instead.
3 Highlight the Force operator, and then use the Add or By List button to
apply the force space warps to the operator.
