Here is a solution with a

Here is a solution with a few extra things you might find helpful.

I attached this script as an ms in the attachment also.

-----------------------------------------------

Rollout TestModDialog "List Mods"
(

MultiListBox LstBx "Mods" 
-- not necessary -- items:#("A","B","C") selection:#(1,3)

Button GetMods "Get Mods"


---  The names are stored in a global variable
---  we make the option to clear it automatically
-- each time a pose is added or keep adding modifiers
-- to what is there and keep everything that is
-- already in the list.

Checkbox AutoClear "Auto Empty Buffer"

Button ClearTheList "Clear the list"


on GetMods pressed do
(

MyObjs = GetCurrentSelection()
-- equivalent to selection as array

 if ModArray == undefined then
 (
 Global ModArray = #() -- empty array
 )
 Else
 (
  -- if auto clear active
  -- set Modarray to empty array
  -- else just add to whats in
  -- the global array
 
  If AutoClear.state == true then
  (
  Global ModArray = #()
  )
  Else
  (
  ModArray = ModArray
  )
 )

 

-- Loop through the objects and Check for 
-- modifiers
 for i in MyObjs do
 (
  -- If the count of the modifiers is 0
  -- then we know the object has no
  -- modifiers
  
  if i.modifiers.count != 0 then
  (
  
  -- append the modifiers to the array
  -- append means array = array + value
   for m in i.modifiers do
   (
   append ModArray m.name
   )
  )
 
 -- if there were modifiers set the items in the
 -- list to the new array
  
 ) -- end for

if ModArray.count > 0 then ( LstBx.items = ModArray )

 

) -- end button GetMods


/*
This button has option to automatically
clear the update the list and then update it
with the newly selected objects modifier names
*/

-- But Here is a seperate button to clear the list then

 

On ClearTheList pressed do
(
LstBx.items = #()

-- you may or may not choose to
-- clear the global variable for the
-- buffer to

ModArray = #()

) -- end button ClearTheList

 

 

 

 

) -- end rollout

 


TestRollFloat = NewRolloutFloater "Test Rollout" 200 280

addRollout  TestModDialog  TestRollFloat


-- see rollout floater windows in maxscript help


/*
There are shorter ways to do this
but I figured I'd share a number of
techniques all in one go.

for example you do not have to store
the mod names in an array

you could just append the names
directly to the list box

LstBx.items = LstBx.items + #(m.name)

-- be sure to include the m.name in an array
-- array + array
-- see array values in maxscript help

*/

List Modifiers in a list box example 2.ms 2.42 KB

k....as a hint for you. You can get the modifiers from a selected object via

$.modifiers

you can get the top modifier only via

$.modifiers[1]

if you have more than one node selected you can use

selection[1] to get the first selected node.

that should get you started.
