Language Reserved Keywords

 
 
 

Keywords begin or separate portions of MAXScript commands.

For example, one form of the if expression is:

if <expr> then <expr> [else<expr>]

In order for MAXScript to easily identify the various portions of the if expression, the words if , then and else are reserved keywords and can not be used as variable names or identifiers. So, for example, you cannot declare a variable or function called if .
