Wall Worm Forums

Thanks. So I looked at the code and literally have no clue how the FBX importer is creating this problem with some specific files. It looks to me that the FBX Importer itself is creating some unexpected nodes from these specific files. Can you inform me of the file origins?

I did find a workaround for you in the meantime.

If you click Wall Worm > Wall Worm Utilities > Toggle Wall Worm Events the functions that scan nodes added to the scene will become disabled and you won't get the error.



Do note that this effectively turns off Wall Worm management system and many things won't work correctly in WW (like VMF Export, etc) until you turn it on and reload a scene or restart Max.

Here's another file. It seems to be directly related to the FBX format, not the bulk import script. 🤨

I verified the problem but it's totally baffling me as to why the error is happening. It's straight vanilla MAXScript wrapped in some validation and this code has been running for years across countless environments without issue. So I'm not clear on the issue. I've asked a fellow MAXScripter for some extra eyes on the issue. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Thank you for reporting. I will try to investigate this.

Found a conflict with another script. When I try to import several fbx files, I get spam from messages related to some wallworm helper, I have to hold enter to skip them automatically.

The Max USD plugin is now Open Source on Github.

Glad it works. Sorry I hadn't re-read more diligently earlier :)

Glad to hear :)

Yes, it seems to have worked. I restarted 3ds max and the script worked fine without entering any commands. 👀

• Use the Selection as Point Entity button you mentioned in OP
• Once all have the entity, select them all
• Run following snippet in MAXScript Listener:

Code Select Expand

for obj in selection do obj.model = obj.name

Hooray hooray hooray!!! Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to do. I could get the coordinates initially, but I also needed a name.
Last time I just sat and manually copied the names into the world model field. There were about 200 models there. That's why there was such a long gap in messages, I forgot that I even asked about it x)
We can consider the problem solved. 👍
