Greetings all

I am having a bit of an issue with, is what I think, a deleted object that had some script written in it.  I imported arigged camera set from here:

http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/rp-camerarig

I didnt end up using it and deleted it.  Howerver there is something left in the scene that I can not seem to grab and it is giving me the error listed in the subject line each time I open the file. 

I tried re-importing the camera rig to see if that reset anything.  No luck.  Then I deleted that whole rig and got a new set of errors.  Ahhhhh! 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

Try merging all the objects into a new scene. If that doesn’t work, try deleting everything from the scene and saving it as a different file. If that doesn’t work, zip the empty scene you just created and post it here so we can take a look.

I suspect that you have some persistent callbacks (event scripts) which are referencing non-existent objects - hence the errors.

Don’t merge EVERYTHING, that will bring the bad stuff in too. instead just bring the things you need. If that doesnt work, do them one at a time or in groups of items untill you find the bad item.

The idea of saving an apparently empty scene is to determine if the cause is a script tied to the whole scene, or an object with a script trying to reference a different (missing) object.

Ah, that makes sense.  I have deleted everything in the scene, saved it, reopened it and still received the script error.

I have attached the zip file.  Is this something you can take a look at to tell me if I can delete the non-existent geometry?

Layer “[CAM]_Camera” - remove its contents and you’ll get rid of the script error. Not sure which of them has it - you’ll have to work that bit out yourself ;)
