You can't do it with Shift button, but you can do it with Alt button. Check maxscript help file for:

on altExecute

But your script should works as toggle - run it once to show verts ticks, run it again to turn vertex ticks off. I have the script that I use to turn on/off vertex ticks.


(
	on isEnabled return selection.count != 0
	on execute do 
	(
		try
		(
			for o in selection do o.vertexTicks = not o.vertexTicks
		)catch()
	)
)

No need for altExecute or any other action.

Does altExecute work with ToolBar buttons?

I checked the altExecute documentation and it mentions working on Quadmenus but doesn't specify toolbar buttons, and when I tried it on a toolbar button I got no affect.
Is it possible to use Alt+Click on toolbar buttons, and if so - can you show an example of that working?

Thanks.
