Material ID Help

I have this code in MaxScript for reading a faces material ID:
Never done any Max Script and it's around 8 years since I last wrote a Max plugin that had to deal with materials.
That said I do have a vague recollection that you had to do something along the lines of "materialID = materialID % numberOfMaterials" if the materialID you got for the face was out of range. That worked for all sorts of fun combinations of multi-sub.
I think the samples in the SDK do that too.
If the modulo operator doesn't fix it, reposting your question on Sparks is probably a good idea.

Thanks i tried using the modulo operator but there is no such operator in MaxScript. I posted the same question at sparks.
Thanks for your help
Thanks for your help

Google for maxscript+modulo points me at:

Quote:In MAXScript, the modulus operation is performed using the mod function, followed by the two arguments. The result of the mod function in MXS is always a Float:
card = mod 7 3 --result is 1.0
bus = mod 0.5 3 --result is 0.5
