Hi,
I’m trying to create a simple script that iterates through objects and increments a property according to object name suffix (01,02,03,04,05 etc)
01 - leave property as is
02 - multiply by 2
05 - multiply by 5 etc
for i = 1 to selection.count do
(
selection.property = i*5
)
Thanks in advance.

something like this
fn multiplyPropByName arr prop: =
(
if arr.count != 0 do
(
for obj in arr where isProperty obj prop do
(
val = ""
for s = 1 to obj.name.count where (obj.name[s] as number) != undefined do
(
if val.count == 0 and (obj.name[s] as number) > 0 or val.count > 0 do append val obj.name[s]
)
if val.count != 0 do
(
format "value = %\n" val
val = val as number
currVal = getProperty obj prop
setProperty obj prop (currVal*val)
)
)
)
)
--example
for i in 1 to 10 do Box width:10 length:10 height:2 pos:[(i*12), 0, 0]
boxArr = $Box* as array
multiplyPropByName boxArr prop:"height"

Thanks, so much for help. While putting to amazing piece of code it returns an error: unknown property count in undefined highlighting (3rd line) if arr.count != 0 do

Post your example to see what is wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for i in 1 to 10 do
boxArr = $Obj* as array
multiplyPropByName boxArr prop:"viewPercent"
I’m using this for particles though.

If function *fn multiplyPropByName arr prop: =* first argument must by array of nodes (maxobject) e.i:
arr = selection as array
--or
arr = objects as array
--or
arr = geometry as array
--or (lights,helpers,cameras etc.)
Second argument is property string ("width", “height”, “radius” etc.)
If you want to set property of some modifiers then i need to change code.
This is why i need your example, or post some screenshots
Cheers!

by the way I’m using this on SuperSpray

Try now.
If you select some supersprays then script will operate on selection otherwise it will all be taken in calculation.
