diffuse map on/off toggle

[Wahooney]

-- This script only works on standard materials but that can easily be fixed by adding more

-- checks in the ValidateMaterial function. You will have to make a special case for

-- multi-sub objects

fn ValidateMaterial mat =

(

if (classof mat == standardMaterial) then

return true

-- add extra checks here

)

-- If you supply a value to the forceState variable it will force al the materials on or off.

fn ToggleDiffuseMapEnable forceState:undefined =

(

if selection.count > 0 then

objs = selection as array -- If we have a selection use it

else

objs = objects as array -- otherwise use all the objects in the scene



-- we must keep track of our materials otherwise we'll keep toggling it on and off if multiple

-- objects use the same material

local matsChecked = #()



-- loop through all the objects, ignoring those without materials

for obj in objs where obj.material != undefined do

(

-- Check if the material is valid

if (not ValidateMaterial obj.material) then

continue



-- check if the material we're looking at is in our list of checked materials

-- if it is skip it

if (findItem matsChecked obj.material > 0) then

continue



-- toggle the diffuseMapEnable variable in the material

if (forceState == undefined) then

obj.material.diffuseMapEnable = not obj.material.diffuseMapEnable

else

obj.material.diffuseMapEnable = forceState



-- add the material to the list of checked materials

append matsChecked obj.material

)

)

-- Toggle All Diffuse Maps

ToggleDiffuseMapEnable()

-- Enable all maps

--ToggleDiffuseMapEnable forceState:true

-- Disable all maps

--ToggleDiffuseMapEnable forceState:false



Sorry if its not properly indented, this WYSIWYG editor doesn't like me very much when it comes to indenting :(
