hi all,
I’ve been trying to get this to work for the last couple of days but can’t seem to find a solution, and here’s the problem:
I wish to modify an object’s face material ID’s, but I don’t want to change it on the base object. So I tried using edit_poly modifier, however, I can’t seem to be able to use any of the polyOp struct functions, the only way I managed to get it to work was using the modify panel commands of the edit poly modifier. However, this will not do, as I wish to make it into a scripted modifier and replace the UI, at which point these commands stop working.
So, does anyone have any other ideas, or is there something I’m missing here?
TIA,
o
From the Macro recorder I got this:
$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].SetOperation #SetMaterial
$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].materialIDToSet = 0
$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Commit ()
It seems that 0 in this case is actually materialID 1 and ID 2 would be 1 and so on.
CML
Thanks Rivendale,
however, this is the way I was refering to when I said I got it to work with the modify panel command. the problem is, this doesn’t work if the edit_poly modifier’s UI is replaced with the new scripted modifier UI, so I’m looking for a way around this.
cheers,

I see. Then you need to do something like this:
on spinner set val do
(
delegate.SetOperation #SetMaterial
delegate.materialIDToSet = (val - 1)
delegate.Commit ()
)
cheers,

again, this is not the problem, I got this to work, but only if the original UI is visible, which is very much undesirable. I’m looking to achieve the same results without the original edit_poly modifier UI.
thanks,
