Maxscript: for loop question

[dellis]

Is there a way to use a for loop to cycle through a selection and randomly apply different (pre-made) materials to the objects? Ideally, i would actually make the materials in the interface and then call the names or variable names in the loop. Any help will be really, really appreciated!

Something like this? Found it ages ago and use it on vegetation mainly.

For anyone else who needs it...here is another solution.

for i in selection do i.material = meditmaterials[(random 1 3)]

Lets you cycle through a selection assigning materials randomly from the specified slots.
