Hello everbodies :thumbsup:

I'am back in scripting.
It's a big tool :)

I search a way to target a group of object in a scene.
Example:


For m in scenematerials where m.name == "object_*"?? do
(
m.specularlevel = 50
)--end for loop


I want to apply the change on all materials that the name begin by "object_" but i don't know the syntaxe for it.

Somebody has a solution.

Thank a lot for you help ;)

.. where matchPattern m.name pattern:"object_*" do

That should do it ;)

Hello magicm !! ;)

Thanks a lot for your help. It works very well.
I made a simple tool to help me to manage a lot of material attributes of selected objects.
And i can select objects directly by a chunk of his name with the "matchpattern" you give me ;)

You know, i think, how it's "crazyfic" to change material attribute for a large group of object's material.
It drove me crazy to click on the material in the editor, change attributes, click another material, change attributes and this fifty times. :) looool

Thank you a lot for your help ;) thanks
