[Closed] Checking if a map is visible in the viewport

Dec 15, 2014 11:35 am

I’m setting a materials map to visible in the viewpoint using something like:


allObjects = $objects as array

showTexturemap allObjects[1].mat allObjects[1].mat.diff_color_map on

What I can’t figure out is how to check whether the materials map is already visible in the viewport before setting it.

For a material, you can just use ‘if currentMaterial.showInViewport == true’. But for maps, this doesn’t seem to work.

Thanks

Is anyone able to offer some guidance on this? I’ve been the relevant areas of the docs and tried some different approaches but I keep hitting a brick wall.

I’m fairly sure I’m missing something obvious, it’s so easy to check with a material I imagine it must be doable with a map as well… Maybe.

Thanks for the help

check for getMTLMEditFlags
looks like “6” flag in bitarray means “showTexture on”
