getObjectTextures and getObjectMaterials only return engine or script set textures and materials on hidden selection and there is no easy way to know which textures or materials hidden selections had originally on the model. I'd like to request new scripting commands to return that:
ARRAY = getObjectTexturesOriginal ENTITY
ARRAY = getObjectMaterialsOriginal ENTITY
Same as existing commands except returning original model textures and materials for all hidden selections.
I'd even go further and also introduced more universal commands:
ARRAY = ENTITY/STRING getModelTextures [LODindex, selectionName] and same for materials: getModelMaterials.
Details:
ENTITY/STRING - entity or model string name, same as allLODs operand.
LODindex - index returned by allLODs command.
selectionName - selection
ARRAY - All unique textures/materials used for this selection on this LOD. Maybe sort them by number of faces they appear in (return mode option?)
Maybe have it all as right array operand similar to Alt Syntax 3. of selectionPosition for simplicity, but I like binary version more.
