Wow, It´s been a while…
I´m back again using maxScript and… I´m stuck with a simple weird issue…
If I select a MrLight and execute this code, everything goes Ok
$.baseObject.mental_ray__Indirect_Illumination_custom_attribute.mrII_UseGlobals = true
But, when aplying this code in a for loop does not work… really weird
ex:
For o in arrLights do
(
o.baseObject.mental_ray__Indirect_Illumination_custom_attribute.mrII_UseGlobals = true
)
or
arrLights[1].baseObject.mental_ray__Indirect_Illumination_custom_attribute.mrII_UseGlobals = true
for loop in array or direct access to array member returns:
– Unknown property: “mental_ray__Indirect_Illumination_custom_attribute” in Target Directional Light
Anyone???
Thanks a lot
for o in selection do
(
o.baseObject.mental_ray__Indirect_Illumination_custom_attribute.mrII_UseGlobals = true
)
the arrLights was not declared as an array just select all and use selection instead
oh and you need to use code quotes when putting script on the forum
again oh the forum doesn’t like the word “custom” either lol so make sure you remove the space(s)
If you don’t want to select the lights and dont have any others in the scene you want left alone you could use
for o in lights do
(
o.baseObject.mental_ray__Indirect_Illumination_custom_attribute.mrII_UseGlobals = true
)
or
for o in lights do o.baseObject.mental_ray__Indirect_Illumination_custom_attribute.mrII_UseGlobals = true
don’t forget to remove the spaces in custom
I think the problem is that he’s also trying to change that parameter in the target object of the light… which doenst have that property.
Try this:
for i in lights do
(
if superclassof i==light then
(
i.baseObject.mental_ray__Indirect_Illumination_custom_attribute.mrII_UseGlobals = true
)
)
)
