Hello,
I’m looking for creating a simple script to check if there is any duplicate name in a object selection.
Or an other way to do this but I didn’t found anything yet.
I don’t think it will be difficult.
My idea is to put my selection into an array like
objs = selection as array
then to create a loop to check if the first object name in the array equal other name in it too. so if there any duplicate, print them in the listener or in a file.txt
But I’m very new in maxscript and I’m not sure of the syntax to do it.
Is there somebody to help me?
Thank you
This will select objects with unique names. ( if U have two $box01 objects it will select only one.)
Sel= selection as array
nam=for obj in Sel collect obj.name
makeUniqueArray nam
SelB= for obj in nam collect (getnodebyname obj)
select SelB
obj = (for f in selection where f.name == "objname" collect f)
clearselection()
select obj
I had written a simple script long back which does what you want (print onto listener) :

You can go thro the script and make changes to get it working with selected objects.
(
obj = #()
for f in selection do (appendifunique obj (getNodeByName f.name))
clearselection()
select obj
)
