Creating a Motion Flow Script
Select a biped. > Motion panel > Biped rollout > Motion Flow Mode
A script is a list of clips (BIP files) that control the character you are animating.
To create a script, add clips to the Motion Flow Graph on page 4549, then click
Define Script in the Scripts section of the
Motion Flow rollout on page 4548,
and click a sequence of clips in the Motion Flow Graph. Default transitions
are assigned if no transitions exist between the clips. The clip names and
starting frame numbers display in the list on the Motion Flow Script list.

Random scripts vary the order of the clips found in the Motion Flow Graph.
Scripts are run in a top-down order to animate the character. Click Play to
view scripted motions on the biped.
TIP As the length of a script varies, use Alt+R to set the Active Time in 3ds Max
to the length of the script.
