Last time I tried, I gave up on JScript (it seemed impossible) and got
something to work in Python.
si = Application
from win32com.client import constants as C #
win32com.client.constants
oObj = si.Selection(0)
oICEAttrMats = oObj.ActivePrimitive.AddICEAttribute("MyString",
C.siICENodeDataString, C.siICENodeStructureArray,
C.siICENodeContextSingleton)
oICEAttrMats.DataArray2D = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
x = oICEAttrMats.DataArray2D
print x
print len(x)
print len(x[0])
print len(x[0][0])
for d in x[0][0]:
print d
# (((u'a', u'b', u'c', u'd'),),)
# 1
# 1
# 4
# a
# b
# c
# d

Ok... I'm trying this workaround:
- Create custom ICEAttributes instead of the factory ones via
scripting, with exactly the same type.
- Create a simple ICE graph that reads from the custom attributes and
writes to the factory attr via scripting.
I've managed to write the "MaterialID" this way, but with "Materials"
I have the problem that I cannot create an equal string array custom
attribute:
<JScript>
var oObj = CreatePrim("grid", "MeshSurface", "", "");
oICEAttrMats = oObj.ActivePrimitive.AddICEAttribute("MyString",
siICENodeDataString, siICENodeStructureArray, siICENodeContextSingleton);
oICEAttrMats.DataArray = ["a", "b", "c", "d"];
</JScript>
// WARNING : 3392 - Invalid offset specified while extracting data
from this attribute: <Attribute: MyString>
The DataType, StructType and ContextType of that string array
attribute is exactly the same as the factory "Materials" attribute.
(I checked in XSI_SAMPLES\ICE\Modelling_Materials.scn)
What's wrong now?
Thanks,
Eugen

I don't think it is possible.
MaterialID becomes undefined/uninitialized pretty quick...

Thanks, Steven!
IsDefined is read-only, by the looks.
So how do I write to it to define it (outside of ICE), when it
cannot be written until it's defined??

MaterialID isn't defined. Seems that you cannot set
MaterialID.DataArray unless IsDefined is True
