multiple modifiers on multiple objects

Hi Guys,

I'm Looking to figure out a way to add a set of modifiers (in this case a UVW Box Map with 1mx1mx1m followed by a material modifier to several selected objects).

It would be super cool to have it applied to a quad menu, but I suppose that should work if you make it a macroscript and then costumize the quads to include the written macroscript.

Tried something like this:

macroScript Macro1
category:"DragAndDrop"
toolTip:""
(
modPanel.addModToSelection (Uvwmap ()) ui:on
$.modifiers[#UVW_Map].maptype = 4
$.modifiers[#UVW_Map].length = 100
$.modifiers[#UVW_Map].width = 100
$.modifiers[#UVW_Map].height = 100
modPanel.addModToSelection (Materialmodifier ()) ui:on
)

But it only works for individual objects, unfortunately

Thanks for your help, this is my 1st attempt at scripting.

Dear Barigazy, thank you for

Dear Barigazy, thank you for your input and apologies for my fossilizingly late reply.
I did manage to get it done in the end by applying simply a modifier to a selection, and then applying another one. :)
they were all nicely instanced and controllable by selecting a simple object and applying changes to all in each of the instanced modifiers.
None the less, many thanks! :)

Thanks,
ZM

This is what you want. If you press SHIFT then all modifier are copy or with single click you have all modifiers as instance

macroScript UvwPlusMtlMod category:"bgaTools" toolTip:"uvw100"
(
	if selection.count > 0 do
	(
		local uvwMod = Uvwmap maptype:4 length:100 width:100 height:100
		local mtlMod = Materialmodifier ()
		for o in selection where canconvertto o editable_poly do
		(
			addModifier o (if keyboard.shiftPressed then copy uvwMod else uvwMod)
			addModifier o (if keyboard.shiftPressed then copy mtlMod else mtlMod)
		)
	)
)

Don't try to copy from Listener or drag-drop chank of code to your toolbar. It's always better to find right solution in MXS Help documentation.
