vray 3.3 - texmap_num in multisubtex map doesn't work with maxscript

[joconnell]

Heya folks,

I was doing a quick loader for multiple bitmaps into the multisubtex and came across a bug - the texmap_num parameter doesn't work correctly despite being listed with showproperties in maxscript - try the following code with the material editor open:

theMap = VRayMultiSubTex texmap_num:3
setMeditMaterial activeMeditSlot theMap
meditmaterial[activeMeditSlot].texmap_num = 5

So with that it should have changed from the default value of 20 twice. Getting the value is fine but setting isn't behaving!

Cheers,

John

The texture has a method called "addSubTex n" which allows you to add n textures. There is also a method "deleteSubtex idx" which allows to delete the n-th sub-texture. These two methods should be enough to do what you need.
