I have got a old scene from the Max 5 days that contains “solidify” modifier that I can’t find a recompile for (max8). Can anyone tell me if there is a script or way to list any objects in the scene that contains a Missing OSM in the modifier stack?
It’s a really bis scenen so it would really help alot if it’s possible.
thank’s

Hello Lander,
Yes, I can tell you.
Yes.
and here it is:
-- written by joshuanewman
-- www.joshuanewman.net
obj=#()
format "Find Missing OSM's
"
format "Processing % objects
" objects.count
for s in objects do if isgrouphead s==true then setgroupopen s true -- open all group heads
for s in objects do
(
msg=#()
format "% - " s.name
for m=1 to s.modifiers.count do if classof s.modifiers[m]==Missing_OSM then append obj s -- make array of all missing modifiers
if msg.count !=0 then
(
format "modifiers %
" msg
for m=msg.count to 1 by -1 do deletemodifier s msg[m] -- deletes missing modifier
) else format "none
"
)
select obj
format "% objects with Missing OSM's
" obj.count
--for s in obj do for m=1 to s.modifiers.count do if classof s.modifiers[m]==Missing_OSM do deletemodifier s m

Thank’s ALOT. I’ll give it a shot and as it will probably work I’ll spend the rest of the day crying in relief.
actually,
that code is a bit redundant, but reliable (old reliable!)
let it not be said that my maxscript hasn’t advanced over the years! remember to open your groups first:
i=getClassInstances Missing_OSM
o=for m in i collect (refs.dependents m)[3]
select o

I never was able to wrap my head around the scripting part of programs. I tend to give it a half hearted shot every six months or so with the usual lerning curve of: I get it, I get it, got it… No, now I don’t get it at all. I’m truly greatful for those lines. I have looked for a solution for this for a loong time. Stupid of me not to post here earlier. Anyway. I have now shed a few tears of happiness and will sleep like a baby.
Thank’s bigtime
no problem, I’m glad to help. And I hope that these little snippets will inspire and help you to making that curve a little more shallow.
