TYPE_FLOAT	Identifies a floating point parameter type.
TYPE_INT	Identifies an integer parameter type.
TYPE_RGBA	Identifies a Color parameter type. Note Does not contain an alpha channel despite the name.
TYPE_POINT3	Identifies a Point3 parameter type.
TYPE_BOOL	Identifies a BOOL parameter type.
TYPE_USER	Used to define user types.

enum ParamType2

Identifies a parameter type.

ParamType values are compatible with ParamType2.

• The enumerated types from "TYPE_ENUM" to "TYPE_DOUBLE" are for published function parameter types only, not pblock2 parameter types.
• The enumerated types from "TYPE_FLOAT_TAB" to "TYPE_FRGBA_TAB" are the tables (Tab<>s) of their base types, and must be in same order as the base types.
• The enumerated types from "TYPE_ENUM_TAB" to "TYPE_DOUBLE_TAB" are for published function parameter types only, not pblock2 parameter types.
• The enumerated types from "TYPE_FLOAT_BR" to "TYPE_DOUBLE_BR" are pass by-ref types, implies & parameters, int& & float& are passed via .ptr fields, only for FnPub use.
• The enumerated types from "TYPE_FLOAT_TAB_BR" to "TYPE_DOUBLE_TAB_BR" are pass by-ref Tab<> types - tab is passed by ref, data type in tab is TYPE_XXXX. For example: TYPE_FLOAT_TAB_BR = Tab<float>& , TYPE_INODE_TAB_BR_TYPE = Tab<INode*>&
• The enumerated types from "TYPE_RGBA_BV" to "TYPE_CLASS_BV" are pass by-value types, implies dereferencing the (meaningful) pointer-based values, only for FnPub use.
• The enumerated types from "TYPE_FLOAT_TAB_BV" to "TYPE_DOUBLE_TAB_BV" are pass by-val Tab<> types - tab is passed by val, data type in tab is TYPE_XXXX. For example: TYPE_FLOAT_TAB_BV = Tab<float> , TYPE_INODE_TAB_BV = Tab<INode*>
• The enumerated types from "TYPE_FLOAT_BP" to "TYPE_DOUBLE_BP" are pass by-pointer types for int & float types, implies * parameters, int* & float* are passed via .ptr fields, only for FnPub use.
• The enumerated types from "TYPE_KEYARG_MARKER" to "TYPE_UNSPECIFIED" are MAXScript internal types

Enumerator
TYPE_ANGLE	A floating point value with an implied stdAngleDim dimension.
TYPE_PCNT_FRAC	A floating point with an implied stdPercentDim dimension.
TYPE_WORLD	A floating point specifying a parameter represents world distance units. This implies a parameter dimension of stdWorldDim.
TYPE_STRING	A character string. The string has a local copy made and managed by the parameter block.
TYPE_FILENAME	Used to identify file names (const MCHAR*). An AssetType should also be specified - see ParamTags.p_assetTypeID and ParamTags.p_assetTypeName.
TYPE_HSV	This option is obsolete.
TYPE_COLOR_CHANNEL	A single floating point value with an implied stdColor255Dim dimension.
TYPE_TIMEVALUE	A single integer value used as a TimeValue – implies a stdTimeDim dimension.
TYPE_RADIOBTN_INDEX	This is used as integer for parameters represented as radio buttons in the UI.
TYPE_MTL	A pointer to a material object. This can be one of three types: a reference owned by the parameter block, a reference owned by the block owner, or no reference management (just a copy of the pointer).
TYPE_TEXMAP	A pointer to a texture map object. This can be one of three types: a reference owned by the parameter block, a reference owned by the block owner, or no reference management (just a copy of the pointer).
TYPE_BITMAP	A pointer to a bitmap object. This can be one of three types: a reference owned by the parameter block, a reference owned by the block owner, or no reference management (just a copy of the pointer).
TYPE_INODE	A pointer to a node. This can be one of three types: a reference owned by the parameter block, a reference owned by the block owner, or no reference management (just a copy of the pointer).
TYPE_REFTARG	A pointer to a reference target. All reference targets in this group can be one of three types: reference owned by parameter block, reference owned by block owner, or no reference management (just a copy of the pointer).
TYPE_INDEX	Used for parameters that are 0-based, but exposed to MAXScript as 1-based. For example a vertex index.
TYPE_MATRIX3	A standard 3ds Max matrix.
TYPE_PBLOCK2	A pointer to an IParamBlock2 object. Note "TYPE_PBLOCK2_TYPE" is not defined.
