material_advanded_override linked issue

[brothermechanic]

Hello
I found issue.
When i select meshes your script works on all lined meshes too.
Of course, i can inlink them, but this is not so elegant.
Thank you

So you would like an exclude option of all linked objects ?

[brothermechanic]

No, i will describe to you.
This is for example

2 linked objects
have same material white
i want override only selected
but script overrides all 2 objects.

They are linked by their material too, isn't it ? If yes, that's a normal behaviour.

(Could you give me a basic file showing the issue, to be sure I understand it well ?)

[brothermechanic]

Yes, this is true, but for me this is issue)

May me you can release it by temporarily "Single user object data" to selected objects or so

[lapineige]

Yes, this is true, but for me this is issue)

Then you have to unlink them. And link them again if needed.
I can't override the material just for one. Except if the add-on do the unlink-relink, but it's not that easy (which object should be linked to the other ? How to expose that choice in the UI ?) and a bit too specific for this add-on, while it's a 1-clic thing for you.

[brothermechanic]

Yes You can!
I have an idea!

use material to "object"! It must be working

use material to "object"! It must be working
Then use it ;)

Overriding it (and then reverting this change), without any information for the user, might create unexpected changes - that are not always easy to guess in the first time, and might create loss of data later (you'll have to come back to a previous save, for instance) - so I prefer not to change that parameter.

IMHO that's not something I can override safely. But you can adapt your workflow to use my add-on with linked object, at least you would control the way it behaves.

[brothermechanic]

well
Anyway thanks for the script and for the conversation
with respect,
Ilya
(ps: how about "invert" from another issue))))

[lapineige]

You're welcome :)

PS: Yes I'll implement #3 :)
