Member Function Documentation

◆ IsPublic()

virtual PFExport int IsPublic ( )

virtual

Controls if the plug-in shows up in lists from the user to choose from.

Returns: If the plug-in can be picked and assigned by the user, as is usually the case, return TRUE. Certain plug-ins may be used privately by other plug-ins implemented in the same DLL and should not appear in lists for user to choose from. These plug-ins would return FALSE.

Implements ClassDesc.

◆ Create()

virtual void* Create ( BOOL loading = FALSE )

pure virtual

3ds Max calls this method when it needs a pointer to a new instance of the plug-in class.

For example, if 3ds Max is loading a file from disk containing a previously used plug-in (procedural object, modifier, controller, etc...), it will call the plug-in's Animatable::Create() method. The plug-in responds by allocating a new instance of its plug-in class. See the Advanced Topic section on Memory Management for more details.

Parameters

loading This parameter is a flag indicating if the class being created is going to be loaded from a disk file. If the flag is TRUE, the plug-in may not have to perform any initialization of the object because the loading process will take care of it. See the Advanced Topics section on Loading and Saving Plug-in Data for more information.

Note: If this parameter is TRUE, developers must initialize their references to NULL. Otherwise 3ds Max may crash.

3ds Max provides a default plug-in object creation process. Many plug-ins fit this form. When the system is about to create an instance of the plug-in object it calls a method BaseObject::GetCreateMouseCallBack().This method returns a callback object whose proc() method handles the mouse input during its creation phase. Most of the work is then handled by the system. The procedural sphere is an example of this type of plug-in. Certain plug-ins may have special creation needs however. The target camera is an example of such a plug-in. Because it needs to create two nodes in the scene (the camera and the target) it requires a custom creation process. To support these plug-ins the following two methods are provided. They allow the plug-in to manage the creation process themselves. See Object Creation Methods for more details.

Implements ClassDesc.

◆ ClassName()

virtual PFExport const MCHAR* ClassName ( )

virtual

This method returns the name of the class.

This name appears in the button for the plug-in in the 3ds Max user interface.

Returns: The name of the class.

Implements ClassDesc.

◆ NonLocalizedClassName()

virtual PFExport const MCHAR* NonLocalizedClassName ( )

virtual

This method returns the non-localized name of the class.

This method was added in 3ds Max 2022 to provide more consistent scripting behavior in localized versions of 3ds Max. In versions of 3ds Max prior to 2022, MAXScript used the name returned from ClassName() (unless UseOnlyInternalNameForMAXScriptExposure() returns true) as (one of) the global variable name(s) holding the MAXClass value which exposes this class. In 3ds Max 2022 and later, MAXScript uses the name returned from NonLocalizedClassName() (unless UseOnlyInternalNameForMAXScriptExposure() returns true) as (one of) the global variable name(s) holding the MAXClass value which exposes this class. To maintain scripting compatibility with older versions of 3ds Max, the name returned should be the ClassName returned for locale en-US in versions of 3ds Max prior to 2022.

Returns: The non-localized name of the class.

Implements ClassDesc.

◆ SuperClassID()

virtual PFExport SClass_ID SuperClassID ( )

virtual

This method returns a system defined constant describing the class this plug-in class was derived from.

For example, the Bend modifier returns OSM_CLASS_ID. This super class ID is used by all object space modifiers. See Super Class IDs.

Returns: The SuperClassID of the plug-in.

Implements ClassDesc.

◆ SubClassID()

virtual PFExport Class_ID SubClassID ( )

virtual

This method can be used for further categorizing plugins.

If a plugin has sub-plugins (like light > shadows, particles > operators), this method can be used to differentiate them. sub-plugins can be derived from ReferenceTarget but return a particular class ID published by the parent plugins SDK headers. Then parent plugin can get a list of all reference targets whose SubClassID matches the published SubClassID.

Reimplemented from ClassDesc.

◆ ClassID()

virtual Class_ID ClassID ( )

pure virtual

This method must return the unique ID for the object.

If two ClassIDs conflict, the system will only load the first one it finds. The ClassID consists of two unsigned 32-bit quantities. The constructor assigns a value to each of these, for example Class_ID(0xA1C8E1D1, 0xE7AA2BE5). A developer should use the random Class_ID generator to avoid conflicts (Generate a random Class_ID). See Class Class_ID for more information.

Returns: The unique ClassID of the plug-in.

Implements ClassDesc.

◆ Category()

PFExport const MCHAR* Category ( )

virtual

This methods returns a string describing the category a plug-in fits into.

The category is usually selected in the drop down list in the create, or utility branch of the command panel. In the create branch, if this is set to be an existing category (i.e. "Standard Primitives", "Splines", ...) then the plug-in will appear in that category. If the category doesn't yet exists then it is created. If the plug-in does not need to appear in the list, it may simply return a null string as in _M(""). In the modify branch, the category determines which group it appears in the Configure Button Sets / Modifiers list. These are the categories such as "MAX STANDARD", "MAX EDIT", and "MAX SURFACE".

This method is also used to distinguish between the various types of texture maps so they can be separated in the Material/Map Browser. The appropriate string should be returned by this method of the Texmap. For example:

const MCHAR* Category() {
    return TEXMAP_CAT_3D;
}

The options for texture maps are:

MCHAR TEXMAP_CAT_2D[]; -> 2D maps.
MCHAR TEXMAP_CAT_3D[]; - 3D maps.
MCHAR TEXMAP_CAT_COMP[]; - Composite.
MCHAR TEXMAP_CAT_COLMOD[]; - Color modifier.
MCHAR TEXMAP_CAT_ENV[]; - Environment.

Implements ClassDesc.

◆ InternalName()

virtual const MCHAR* InternalName ( )

pure virtual

Returns a string which provides a fixed, machine parsable internal name for the plug-in.

This name is used by Scripting Engines. MAXScript uses this name (if not null) as (one of) the global variable name(s) holding the MAXClass value which exposes this class.

Reimplemented from ClassDesc.
