Rename Object to Group name

But you still can use "interactive renamer" from here in scriptspot.

happy that i tested on a test scene,

can we get one that works on the selected group only?
and without numbers?

Or if you not like random unique name numbering then use this fn

fn renameGroupMembers groupNode &hendles sufix =
(
if findItem hendles (hnd = (getHandleByAnim groupNode)) == 0 do
(
name = groupNode.name ; number = 0 ; append hendles hnd
groupNode = getAllGroupMembers groupNode
groupNode = for o in groupNode collect
(
if isgrouphead o then o else
(
o.name = name+sufix
o.name += (formattedPrint (number += 1) format:"0.3d")
dontcollect
)
)
if groupNode.count > 0 do for g in groupNode do renameGroupMembers g &hendles sufix
)
)

ha ! Thank you :)

Now you see what I talking about :)
Group topics are interesting and mind blowing in the same time :)

true true, thanks you for great examples to learn :)

Here is the solution.After you run this open Schematic View to see result

hendles = #()
groups = for g in objects where isGroupHead g collect g
fn isGroupHeadMember head node act:off =
(
while isvalidnode node and isgroupmember node and not (act = (node.parent == head)) do node = node.parent
act
)
fn getAllGroupMembers head = if isgrouphead head do
(
for node in (join #() head) where isGroupHeadMember head node collect node
)
fn renameGroupMembers groupNode &hendles sufix =
(
if findItem hendles (hnd = (getHandleByAnim groupNode)) == 0 do
(
name = groupNode.name
append hendles hnd
groupNode = getAllGroupMembers groupNode
groupNode = for o in groupNode collect
(
if isgrouphead o then o else
(
o.name = uniquename (name+sufix) ; dontcollect
)
)
if groupNode.count > 0 do for g in groupNode do renameGroupMembers g &hendles sufix
)
)
for g in groups do (renameGroupMembers g &hendles "_Object")
free groups ; free handles

This should make a job. Take a look.

for g in objects where isGroupHead g do (
	i = 1 
	for o in g where o != g do (
		no = case of (
			(i < 10):("00" + i as string)
			(i <100):("0" + i as string)
			default:(i as string)
		)
		o.name = g.name + no
		print o.name
		i += 1
	)
)

The question is more complex if U need to consider group inside group.
Take look this thread where I and DenisT "wage a war" about groups. :)

Also to get "no" variable in your for loop try eazy way

no = formattedPrint i format:"0.3d"

Thank you !
Still so much to learn :)

And yes, of course to groups inside groups... but it is just simple renaming tool base on group names

simplified code :

for g in objects where isGroupHead g do (
	i = 1 
	for o in g where o != g do (
		o.name = g.name + (formattedPrint i format:"0.3d")
		i += 1
	)
)

how about this ?
To rename all object inside, inside ... groups by main group name

-- firts rename all by group witout numbers
for g in objects where isGroupHead g do 
	for o in g do o.name = g.name
		
-- collect unique names array
uNames = #()
for o in objects where isGroupHead o == false do appendifunique uNames (o.name as name)

uNumbers = #()	
for i = 1 to uNames.count do uNumbers[i] = 0
	
--add numbers to the same names
for o in objects where isGroupHead o == false do (
	if (a = findItem uNames (o.name as name)) > 0 then (
		uNumbers[a]  +=  1
		o.name = o.name + (formattedPrint uNumbers[a] format:"0.3d")
	)
)

Just quick idea... please test it and let me know how it works.

I will use example of previous mentioned thread by DenisT.
Here you have groups inside group and some of theses are just linked to each other.

(
f0 = box name:"f0" pos:[80,40,0] wirecolor:orange
in f0 (f1 = box name:"f1" pos:[80,80,40] wirecolor:orange)
in f1 (f2 = box name:"f2" pos:[80,80,0] wirecolor:orange)

c0 = box name:"c0" pos:[40,40,0] wirecolor:orange
c1 = box name:"c1" pos:[40,80,40] wirecolor:orange
c2 = box name:"c2" pos:[40,80,0] wirecolor:orange

b0 = box name:"b0" pos:[40,0,0] wirecolor:orange
b1 = box name:"b1" pos:[80,0,0] wirecolor:orange

b2 = box name:"b2" pos:[40,40,0] wirecolor:green
b3 = box name:"b3" pos:[80,40,0] wirecolor:green

g4 = group #(c1,c2) name:"g4"
g0 = group #(b0,b1) name:"g0"
g4.parent = b0

g1 = group #(b2,b3,g0) name:"g1"
g2 = group #(c0, g1) name:"g2"

in b0 (box name:"d0" pos:[0,0,80] wirecolor:blue)
in g0 (box name:"d1" pos:[0,0,120] wirecolor:blue)

a0 = box name:"a0" pos:[0,40,80]
a1 = box name:"a1" pos:[0,80,80]
g3 = group #(a0,a1) name:"g3"
g3.parent = g2

g5 = group #(f0,f1,f2,g2) name:"g5"

for g in #(g0,g1,g2,g3,g4,g5) do setGroupOpen g on
)
