Ok it's all under control
If you ever get that kind of error. The way I understand it is that the
AddObjectToShader command is an undoable command runned at Post Load
script time which is no undoable. Thus XSI panics and spits out an error.
So just accept the error in the language you work in and keep going.
That should do the trick.

Basically I got the script to work when it's not called from

Hi Greg,

I am wondering if any of you have come across this problem. We are
working with reference models on a big project and have run into a
problem. Our characters are using the diffusion shader and it requires
you to use a light list. While the shaders will let you pick the lights
in the scene, if you reload the scene the light list is lost due to the
models being referenced.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for using shaders in a ref model
that uses light shader?
