number of lights?

[Nicool]

Use melscript... I'm a beginner, but try it :

Select all, then, run this lines:

string $arraySel[]=`ls -light`;
size $arraySel;
print ("Nb of lights : " + $arraySel);

I've not test it !

there is a mel script called lightman on highend. it can be used to count and manage the lights in your scene. give it a try! :)

for lights management i recomend l i g h t G i r l it`s even more complex and update from time to time


and btw Nicool no need to select the lights first, if u wanna count only selected lights the use string $arraySel[]=`ls -sl -light`; instead string $arraySel[]=`ls -light`;

nicol, the script is not working here:( hope u cant test it when u get time.
id use lightgirl or something.. but is just a simple thing i want, maybe ill xec them later

sorry my mistake, i din`t verify Nicool script, here is my version tested


string $arraySel[]=`ls -lights`;
int $i = `size $arraySel`;
print ("Lights on scene: " + $i);
