Run a script to all objects

Submitted by caebrasil on Wed, 2011-01-26 06:00

Hi, Continuing with my simple questions about maxscript, I did myself (not easy for me) this very simple script, to apply an Edit Poly after the Base Object and execute the Quadrify command.

It works great for me, but I want to do it to the entire scene, or all selected objects. But, how to do it?

My script:

(
max modify mode
modPanel.setCurrentObject $.baseObject
macros.run "Modifiers" "EditPolyMod"
macros.run "PolyTools" "Quadrify"
)

‹ Reading from INI file Get Geometry vertex from UV vertex. ›

renaming modifier

Ok, I want to do just one more thing:
How can I rename the new Edit Poly created? I want to rename "Edit Poly" to "Edit Poly Quad"...

use .name prop

max modify mode
objs = getCurrentSelection()
for o in objs do
(
	modPanel.setCurrentObject o.baseObject
	macros.run "Modifiers" "EditPolyMod"
	macros.run "PolyTools" "Quadrify"
	o.modifiers[o.modifiers.count].name = "Edit Poly Quad"
)

br0t, your simple explanation

br0t, your simple explanation just open my mind! I can apply this for a lot of tasks I do repeatedly!
Definitively, I need to study maxscript.
Again, thank you!
