The MAXScript Operator is able to execute MAXScript code
based on any condition or rule created by an action of the particle system.
MAXScript is the powerful programming language for all 3ds Max users. It
is tightly integrated into the core application and offers nearly all
the features of any other programming language.
ON - (Bool) This input data
stream determines whether the operator is considered 'on' or 'off'. You
can connect other operators to this input channel such as a Bool
Helper to activate/deactivate the whole operator. Be aware that you can
have code run when both True and False states are received by the ON input
data stream.
No Operator Outputs.
The MAXScript Active code is executed when a True condition
is set within the ON input data stream. You can directly type in or load
any MAXScript code into the active text field you wish. However you do
need to be careful. Test your scripts thoroughly before inserting them
here. thinkingParticles does not check or verify the MAXScript code you
type or load. If, for example, the code contains instructions to delete
the hard drive, when a True condition is piped in, the MAXScript operator
will delete it - no questions asked.
Likewise, the MAXScript Inactive code is executed when
a False condition is set within the ON input data stream. You can directly
type in or load any MAXScript code into the Inactive text field you wish.

Load - Clicking on this button will bring up a dialog where you
can choose MAXScript .MS files to be used within the operator.
MAXScript list - These windows contain lists of loaded MAXScript
.MS files and can be used to type in MAXScript code directly for use within
the operator. The upper window contains the Active code (to be executed
when ON = True), and the lower window contains the Inactive code (to be
executed when ON = False).
Up / Down - Clicking on these buttons will move the various MAXScript
lines up or down, depending on which line is selected.
Remove - Click the Remove button to delete a line of code or a
loaded .MS file from the Active or Inactive lists.
