[Maxscript] Get an array or list of properties

Dickie

I'm aware of the the show() and showProperties() functions in maxscript but as far as I know this information is only printable and not usable within the script. What I need is a way of looping through the properties of object/material/render and collecting the setting of each one into an array, is there any way to go about doing this?

for example

fn CollectProperties objToCollect =
(
	props = showProperties objToCollect
	for i in props do
	(
		-- do something with properties
	)
)
 
CollectProperties (renderers.current)

It'd be super useful if there was something like renders.current.properties that I'm just missing

You want:

getPropNames renderers.current
