Particle Flow - Quick Navigation

Description:

NEW in 3ds Max 2014: The Display_Script operator shows script data associated with particles: Integer, Float or Vector.

   

Constructors:

Display_Script...
DisplayScriptParticles...

   

Properties:

<Display_Script>.Show_Numbering     BooleanClass    default: false   --  boolean

Get/set the state of the "Show Particle IDs" checkbox.

When set to True, the operator will display each particle's ID number before the displayed data. The ID number is followed by a > symbol to distinguish it from the data.

   

<Display_Script>.Color     Color    default: (color 172 206 255)   --  RGB color

<Display_Script>.Prefix_Text     String    default: "Data"   --  string

Get/set the value of the text field.

The prefix is added between the ID (if shown) and the Data. It adds an offset between the Prefix and Data automatically.

Get/set the selection of the "Show Script Data" drop-down list.

Possible values are:

6 - Vector

   

Screen Offset - pixels group of controls

The following properties can be used to adjust the positioning of the data display relative to the particle position, in pixels.

By using different offset values and several Display_Script operators, multiple data values can be shown at once without overlapping.

<Display_Script>.Offset_LeftRight     Integer    default: 0   --  integer

Get/set the value of the "Left / Right" spinner.

   

<Display_Script>.Offset_UpDown     Integer    default: 0   --  integer

0 - All Particles - Displays data for all particles in the viewports.

1 - Selected Particles Only - Displays data only for selected particles.

2 - Group Selected Only - Displays data only for group-selected particles. Use the .Group_Selection property (see below) to specify the Group_Selection Operator to use.

   

<Display_Script>.Group_Selection     UndefinedClass    default: undefined   --  node
