Hi there,

I try to wire the length parameter of a taper object to the local Y-Position values of another object. It works fine until I reload the file. I get an MAXScript Wire Controller Exception error:

--Runtime error: Illegal self-reference in controller script

...and the parameter-wire dialog opens. The desired functionality returns by clicking the Update Button and everything works fine again.

Does anyone of you know this problem or maybe some kind of solution?
Thx for answers!

Max version? Best if you put that, and your [i[brief system specs, in your sig.

If you’re wiring one float value (from one object) to another (on a different object) then you can’t possibly have a circular reference. Make certain that you create a one-way link, not a bi-directional one (don’t click the 2-headed arrow button).
