Get object material name set in the override panel

Hi,

I want to create an object that shows the name of its material.

But instead of creating a new parameter for the material, I would like to show the name of the built-in material set in the override panel. Is it possible?

Yes, that's possible:

_name = "" rrr = request("NAME_OF_MATERIAL", SYMB_MAT, _name) text2 0, 0, _name

However afaik you can not test if that button has been pressed or not.

Could you use WALL_SKINS_PARAMS? I think it's return changes when you toggle the override, so you could also compare it to SYMB_MAT to see if the override is active or not.

If it's not a door/window or label I don't think you can access this properly. 🤔
