Run Script

Run Script opens a common file open dialog for choosing an existing script. MAXScript then reads and executes the selected script. Any output is printed to the Listener window.

• Default menu: Scripting menu > Run Script
• Alt menu: Script menu > Script > Run Script
• Utilities panel > Utilities rollout > MAXScript button > MAXScript rollout > Run Script button

For detailed information about the MAXScript utility, open the MAXScript Help, available from Help menu MAXScript Help.

MAXScript Encrypted and Package Formats

You can’t open these file types for editing in 3ds Max, but you can run them, and you can access them by using third party software.

MSE

MAXScript Encrypted file (. mse). An encrypted MAXScript uses a binary format that can’t be read or edited, but that 3ds Max can run as it would an ordinary MS file.

MZP

MAXScript Zip Package file (. mzp). A MAXScript Zip package collects the related files that make up a scripted tool into a single file that you can run as you do an ordinary MS file. A MAXScript Zip Package can contain script source, bitmaps, icons, and so on.
