[Maxscript] meditMaterials opacity error

fascinate4

Hi.

I am getting "--Type error: Call needs function or class, got: 100.0", when I am trying to use my sript which should write opacity parameters of selected texture in file. I don't know what I should write to make it work correctly.

 local found = 0
            local objMat = selection[1].mat			
			for i = 1 to meditMaterials.count where found == 0 do
            if meditMaterials[i] == objmat then found = i
            found -- contains the index of the material slot, or 0 if it was not found
			
			--local Mnames = GetMeditMaterial found as string
			for Mname=1 to found do
			(
				Mnames = GetMeditMaterial Mname as string
				Opty = meditMaterials[1].opacity Mname as integer
				format "%" Opty to:file01
				format "\n" to:file01
				format Mnames to:file01
				format "\n" to:file01
			)<span class="post-color-blue"></span><span class=""><span class="post-color-blue"></span></span>

Opty = meditMaterials[Mname].opacity 

Do you just want to save the material opacity of your selected object ?
You could just do :

<code>matOpacity = myMat.opacitymyMat = selection[1].mat<br>matName = myMat.name<br>

No need to deal with the material editor.

Thank you. I want that script will show opacity of all used material on selected model.

An object can't have multiple materials so i assume you talk about multimaterial ?
If so, you need to parse it, like an array.
This covers the case, and works with  multiple objects selection. I've added some security checks.

(
sel =  selection as array

for obj in sel do
(
	myMat = obj.mat

	if myMat != undefined then
	(
		if classof myMat == Multimaterial do
		(
			for m in myMat where classof m == Standardmaterial do 
			(
				format "material name : %\n" m.name 
				format "material opacity : %\n" m.opacity
			)
		)

		if classof myMat == Standardmaterial do 
		(
			format "material name : %\n" myMat.name
			format "material opacity : %\n" myMat.opacity
		)
	)
	else format "% is not a valid selection\n" obj.name
)
)
