Thank you a lot, I’vefound mistake in apsence of space between 0 and “then” in myn.
But there appeared one more :
>> MAXScript Script Controller Exception: — Runtime error: Shape operation on non-shape: Editable Mesh <<

And it allways comes except i use line without any modifier. including nurbs curve!

Hi Viktor ,
You are missing the ‘else’ expression after ‘then’.
the correct syntax is:

for the vertex 1 :

offset = if index1/2-int(index1/2)== 0 then -1 else 0
curvecontroller curve:$top localoffset:offset

——————–
for the vertex 2 :

offset = if index1/2-int(index1/2)== 0 then 1 else 0
curvecontroller curve:$button localoffset:offset

— Syntax error: at then, expected
— In line: script_4197=(offset index1/2-int(index1/2)== 0 then -1
— Syntax error: at then, expected
— In line: script_4197=(offset index1/2-int(index1/2)== 0 then -1

I’m doing the same, your video shows. but allways stack with different kind of mistake in MaxScript.
Can you please write down script as it is in your example.
