MaxScript check if editable poly

JulianDeclercq

Hi guys,

I started maxScript today because my exams are over and I've written a few simple tools because I could use the maxScript listener to know certain commands. But now I am stuck, I want to check whether an object is still a primitive or whether it has been transformed to an editable poly already. Anyone that can help me please?

Kind regards

You can write a function like this:

fn curClass =
(
	case (classOf (modPanel.getCurrentObject())) of
	(
		Editable_Poly: return #editableMode
		Edit_Poly: return #editMode
		Editable_Mesh: return #editableMeshMode
		Edit_Mesh: return #editMeshMode
		Unwrap_UVW: return #uvMode
		SplineShape: return #splineMode
		Edit_Spline: return #splineMode
		Line: return #splineMode
	)
)

..so whenever you call curClass() it'll return the object type. Or just by simply call classOf (modPanel.getCurrentObject()) and it'll return you the object type as well.
