RENAME - modifier.classes.name to object.name [SOLVED]

By 3dwannab · 2015-05-27

Description

Self explanatory really. Arrays sort of scare me but I'll get them down eventually but I'm sure this is a case where I can collect the Modifiers.name and then send that to the object name resulting in a final result for the objects name to be "Ball_Mod_Noise" "'Ball_Mod_UVW Map" etc.

My efforts so far collect modifiers array: 


ModCollect = with printAllElements on sort (for c in modifier.classes collect if c.creatable then (c()).name else c.localizedname) as string

-------------------------------
This code though below works to rename the objects but not good when there are so many modifiers, need something more dynamic. If I could replace 

uvwmap

here with something for the 

o.name

then that would be great. 


NewMaxFileName = "MAX"
modPrefix = "_Mod"
for o in objects where classof o.modifiers[1] == uvwmap do o.name = NewMaxFileName + modPrefix + "_UVWMap" as string

= MAX_Mod_UVWMap

Thanks in advance.

-----------------------SOLUTION--------------------------- 

for o in objects do (
	for m in o.modifiers do (
		if classof m != undefined do (
			o.name = o.modifiers[1].name
		)
	)
)

Probably could be shortened but I'm hapy for now :D

Collect object that have modifier and its modifier

fajar · 2015-06-03


fn hasModifier node =
(
	if node.modifiers.count !=0 then return true else return false
)

fn thisNodeModifier node =
(
	modName=#()
	modIndex=#()
	
	idx=node.modifiers.count
	while idx > 0 do
	(
		--idMod +=1
		thisMod=node.modifiers[idx]
		append modIndex idx
		append modName thisMod
		idx -=1
	)
	modIndexName= #(node,modName,modIndex)
)

fn collectAllMod modStored:5 arr: =
(
	allMods=#()
	if arr == unsupplied do arr=(collectOriginalObject arr:selection)
	local idx = arr.count
	local stops=true 
	local cnt=0
		
	while idx > 0 do
		(
			if (hasModifier arr[idx] == true) and (canConvertTo arr[idx] editable_mesh) do
			(
				appendIfUnique allMods (thisNodeModifier arr[idx])
				cnt +=1
			)
			idx -=1
			if cnt == modStored do idx = 0
		)
	allMods	
)

collectAllMod modStored:5 arr:selection

--arr: array source
--modStored : total amount of object that have modifier that will stored --in array + its modifier

Thanks, I'm sure I'll come back to this code for future reference. Thanks but I managed to work out a solution.

See scrrenshot of example. It get the first modifier in the stack and appends to the filename. And also names ON or OFF depending on if the modifiers enabled. 


NewMaxFileName = getFilenameFile (maxFilename)
separator = "_"
modPrefix = "Mod"
enabled = "_ON"
disabled = "_OFF"

		for o in objects do	(
			for m in o.modifiers do (
				if classof m != undefined do (
					if o.modifiers[1].enabled then (
						o.name = NewMaxFileName + seperater + modPrefix + seperater + o.modifiers[1].name + enabled
					)
					if not o.modifiers[1].enabled then (
						o.name = NewMaxFileName + seperater + modPrefix + seperater + o.modifiers[1].name + disabled
					)
				)
			)
		)

someone tell me why this collected everything in the scene. I wanted to collect just objects with modifiers: 

ColMod = for obj in objects where classOf obj.modifiers[1] != undefined collect obj
