Hi Fajar

Here is 2 notes from me ;)

1) selection.count return integer number, so testing for undefined: selection.count != undefined will always return True, so better compare with "> 0".

2) the mat edior slots are 24, so you need to check the amount of collected materials, something like:

objMats = for obj in selection where \
	obj.mat != undefined collect obj.mat
maxIndex = objMats.count
if maxIndex > 24 do maxIndex = 24
for i = 1 to maxIndex do
	setMeditMaterial i objMats[i]

..or just collect maximum 24 materials:

matIndex = 0
objMats = for obj in selection while matIndex < 24 where \
obj.mat != undefined collect (matIndex += 1; obj.mat)
for i = 1 to matIndex do
	setMeditMaterial matIndex objMats[matIndex]

best regards,
Anubis
