Scripting: finding values of Custom Parameters 2005-02-04 - By Denis-Jose Francois

Hi Folks
Here is the situation:
I am having trouble determining if a custom parameter exists on a particular
object (in this case, a polymesh).
As I have a script which is intended to run over many and varied objects
looking for these particular parameters, I do not wish to hard code them
into the script.
The CustomPSet will be consistently named however, and I am able to find
this with no problem.
The following piece of code will add a custom parameter to any object or
selection of objects:
'begin
code-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
-- ---- ---- --->8
MySel = GetValue("SelectionList")
Set MyCol = CreateObject("XSI.Collection")
MyCol.setastext MySel
for each elem in MyCol
element = elem.Parent & "." & elem.Name
SelectObj element
AddProp "Custom_parameter_list", , , "lightscape_surface_properties"
SIAddCustomParameter element, "surface", siDouble, 1, 0.04, 10, , 4, 0.04,
10
SIAddCustomParameter element, "Occluding", siBool, 1, 0, 1, , 4, 0, 1
next
DeselectAll
for each elem in MyCol
element = elem.Parent & "." & elem.Name
AddToSelection element
next
'end
code-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
-- ---- ---- --->8
Once the properties of the custom parameter have been modified, I need to
have another script read back the properties from all objects that have this
parameter set. This means it has to trawl through all of the items in the
scene *and first determine if the parameter has been applied*. Then read
back the current settings.
Any thoughts?
