[Closed] Variable of Element Pack and Optimization

Hey MaxScripters.

What I am trying to optimize:

How can I store UVW Element information in a loop. Like each element in the scene is information I can store into a variable. Right now I am using a for loop to basically make like a data cluster as max calls it.

How it would just make it so much easier that I am thinking of:

a one line like “selection[1].modifiers[1].getSelectedElements”

Any thoughts?

Here is the code so you can see what I am doing:

local totele=#()
			button thePackbyElementButton "Pack By Element" width: 160 align:#left offset:[0,0]
			on thePackbyElementButton pressed do
			(
				selfac = (selection[1].modifiers[1].getSelectedFaces() as array)
				for j in selfac do
				(
					t = findItem totele j
					if t == 0 then
					(
						selection[1].modifiers[1].selectFaces #{j}
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						selection[1].modifiers[1].expandGeomFaceSelection()
						aof = selection[1].modifiers[1].getSelectedFaces() 
						append totele aof as array
					)
					else
					(
						continue
					)
				for e in totele do
					(
						z = e as bitArray
						selection[1].modifiers[1].selectFaces z
						selection[1].modifiers[1].pack 1 0.02 true false false
						selection[1].modifiers[1].GroupCreateBySelection()
					)	
				)
			)

The reason why I am needing this is to optimize for speed. Right now it is just unacceptably slow on a scene with 100k polygons.
