Off topics , cause I do not know how or where ...Hi,<br />Off topics , cause I do not know how or where to contact you: ---also please send an email here : ionut9@gmx.net in case you cn help: Hi,<br />I am leaning from your tutorial Move Lights to Particles (The pflow script show act 2). I manage to have plenty of omni lights in the scene just by selecting one of the omni and making copies of it and modifing the number in your script operator to how many they are , also changing the particle count in the pflow Birth Amount. Also the script shows me errors in the listner , I am not sure if I have done anything wrong there because it is a foreign language to me; here it is what I put inside the pflow script operator: <br /> <br />on ChannelsUsed pCont do<br />(<br /> pCont.usePosition = true<br /> pCont.useSpeed = true<br />)<br />on Init pCont do<br />(<br /> global theBounceLights = $BounceLight_* as array<br /> if theBounceLights.count == 0 do<br /> (<br /> theBounceLights = for i = 1 to 8 collect<br /> (omnilight attenDecay:2 name:(uniquename "BounceLight_"))<br /> )<br /> theBounceLights.pos = [0,0,-100000]<br />)<br />on Proceed pCont do<br />(<br /> count = pCont.NumParticles()<br /> theStep = ((pCont.getParticleSystem()).getIntegrationStep()).frame<br /> minCount = amin #(count, theBounceLights.count)<br /> for i in 1 to minCount do<br /> (<br /> pCont.particleIndex = i<br /> theBounceLights[i].pos = pCont.particlePosition + pCont.particleSpeed*TicksPerFrame*theStep<br /> )<br />)<br />on Release pCont do<br />(<br />)<br /> <br /> <br />What I would like to ask : lets say I have 10 omni lights in the scene - and I would like them to have different intensities(brightness-more or less) and different sizes and colors. How can I achieve that? I tried with Effects -Lens Effects -Glow and change the parameters from Glow and there was no way I can do that : all the omni ended the same size , intensity , color... I even tried to add an Effect to each of the lights and still did not work . Can it be done? I do not know anything about scripting - only the 3ds max interface. I work in 3ds max 2013. I also tried in your example with the teapot and the gizmo mist apparatus and linkned the lights to that but I could not have them different. It is about a scene where there are many lights involved in a constelation forming some siluettes of light, but I can not do that without your help. I appreciate your reply.<br />Regards,<br />John<br />p.s. btw - you are the real deal !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799027337384343627.post-5270504374982383522013-08-11T07:33:03.302-07:002013-08-11T07:33:03.302-07:00lol :)

Looking at the code now it feels foreign, I couldn't even remember I did understand the concept of lambda expressions and such.

Just as I get near the end and have now sorted out the best way it dawns on me, I did this last year!<br /><br />I think that I have forgotten more then I now know. Age isn't so bad I guess, at least it isn't getting boring because I know all the answers;)<br /><br />Merry Christmas Bobo.
