THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

IT's working very well, the only thing is that when I use it I get

Slot name: Map 1
Slot name: Mask
Slot name: Radius
Slot name: Occluded
Slot name: Diffuse map
Slot name: Bump map
Slot name: Refl. gloss.
Slot name: Reflect map
Slot name: Bump map
Slot name: Refl. gloss.
Slot name: Diffuse map
Slot name: Reflect map
Slot name: Bump map
Slot name: Refl. gloss.
Slot name: Bump map

I get Map instead of Diffuse(I have there collor corect then texture in diffuse)
I want DIFFUSE/COLOR CORRECT/
Except this, I want all this info without the word

map

for example - not BUMP MAP but BUMP.

In this case

Slot name: Map 1
Slot name: Mask
Slot name: Radius
Slot name: Occluded
Slot name: Map 2

Map1 and Map2 are located in Diffuse Slot/Fallof then - Map1 and Map2!

I would like to list tem like:

Difuse/Fallof/Map1
Difuse/Fallof/Map2

Thank you in advance!

This will work in some

This will work in some cases:

(
	local bitmaps = getClassInstances BitmapTexture
 
	for bmp in bitmaps do
	(
		local mats = for item in refs.dependents bmp where isKindOf item Material collect item
		format "\nTexture: %\n" bmp.name
 
		for mat in mats do
			for i = 1 to (getNumSubTexmaps mat)
				where getSubTexmap mat i == bmp do
					format "\tSlot name: %\n" (getSubTexmapSlotName mat i)
	)		
)

SubTexmap methods work both for materials and maps, yet it is quite likely that some info will be missing - anything that will be missing in getClassInstances/refs.dependents calls.
