[Closed] hide unhide rollout

You can replace the complete UI with

replaceUI:true

in a scripted material.
If you want to use some parts of the default UI, you will have to double it in your material I guess.

thanx for reply rdg,
but i know replaceui ,but i dont know how to double them.Because i need forwbackw connection betwen original values for example “Diffuse map” and new (doubled) value just renamed to “My Dif map”
Thx Mror

You can access the diffusemap with:
delegate.diffuseMap

If you add a mapbutton to you custom interface you can change the delegate map parameters.

on choosemap  picked texmap do(
delegate.diffuseMap=texmap
)

Thanx a lot rgd
we will try it,and make this way
once more thanx a lot

Hi,

i tried the delegate method, but this function dont work in textmap, it woks just with spinners and others.
All i want to do, make new rollout with map(ex.My specular map) button and if ill choose a texture(bitmap) it will apear in standard material rollout(maps) specular color map slot and in this new My specular map slot.
How can i do it??
Thanx for advices
Mr.Or

Mr.Or,

can you post your code?

Georg

Hi,
thanx for reply.

here is a par of code.

heckbox DiffuseChecker “Diffuse map” checked:false align:#left across:3
spinner DiffuseValuer “” type:#integer range:[0,100,100] align:#left width:40
mapButton DiffuseMapper “<<none>>” align:#right height:16 width:145

on DiffuseMapper picked ThisPicked do delegate.diffuseMap = ThisPicked
on DiffuseValuer changed NewValue do delegate.diffuseMapAmount = NewValue
on DiffuseChecker changed NewState do delegate.diffuseMapEnable = NewState
Everythig except delegate.diffuseMap is functional properly.
Thanx for advice.
Mr.Oranger

mrorganger,

I must admit that I don’t know whats wrong.
Apart from your code being incomplete, my reduced sample doesn’t work either.

The texturemap only shows up in the viewport, but doesn’t render.
I will try to solve this later.

plugin material rdgDiffuseMapTest name:"rdgDiffuseMapTest" classID:#(0x7c330adb, 0x2cd0b566) extends:Standard replaceUI:true version:1( 

	parameters main rollout:params(
		textmap type:#texturemap ui:textmap
		on textmap picked newMap do delegate.diffusemap=newMap  
	)

	rollout params "choose Map"(
		mapbutton textmap "none"
	)

)

Georg

ok.
I remembered to read to HelpFile ( I need a postit note at my monitor for this !).
And there it is:

[left]Warning:

[left]A materialButton cannot be used in a rollout of a scripted map plug-in. The 3ds max Material Editor architecture assumes that a Sub-Material can only be a child of another material and will be confused when trying to assign a sub-material to a map

That is why it won’t work:)

Anyway:
A scripted Material plugin cannot be used with mentalray – as the translator doesn’t recognise it.
I guess it is better to have a (floating) rollout that composes a material. That way you can use alle the features of maxscript guis and still have standard-compliant materials.
