Final trueSpace 7.61 Beta 8 Unofficial Update

[clintonman]

Yep, it is worse because it starts from scratch.
Now if I want to add the cube on the far left to the selection I have to start over and do them 1 by 1.

Ah! Okay gotcha. Thanks for the explanation.
What I was seeing with a multiple selection, the first selection was Deselecting.
I'll leave as you have it.

[clintonman]

Actually, I think it's not even working properly without your mod. Looking at it now.

[clintonman]

It suddenly started working again. I think the problem is that it was changing the selection and activating the selection change event at the same time, so a single click might act a little like a double click. This change will make it more reliable.

Your deselect everything isn't useful for me, but you could add it via right click and have it call a completely different ctrlSelectionGroup, maybe call it deselectCtrlSelectionGroup.

Oh man! You eliminated my most favorite feature from the previous update!!!
Something the Info view is lacking.

Code: Select all

Node.Value("/Status Line","Model") = "Selection: " + statustext;

Oops, no problem. When I discovered the problem with the selection I loaded the version from my website and ended up modifying it. I'll add that back in for the "Workspace" status.

Fixed the status message for the ctrl button simulator. Sorry

Uses Workspace label instead of Model.
Shows selection on first run before selection process starts.

Perfecto! Even better then my last favorite! Thank YOU.

Further testing and found that the link editor ctrl button still misbehaved. The script has a Selection Change Event node and it is more reliable when it is visible in the link editor.
I added a right click command to the button on my website version that opens a LE view into the scripts and that seems to solve it.

Code: Select all

WindowsManager.CreateWindowFromCLSIDEx("default", "default", "default","Scripts/CustomCommands/ctrlSelectionGroup", 1, "2D")

This exposes the script node in a new link editor window. I think this will work for bad WatchDog behavior as well.

Hummm...what about loading into the scene?
Not sure about the get active window with this, but it does insert it into the left of an Organized scene.

Code: Select all

Node.Delete(Space.CurrentScene() + "/ctrlSelectionGroup")
LE.InsertNodeAt(WindowsManager.GetWorkWindow() + '/LE2Node', System.GetMainDir() + '\\Scripts\\clintonobjects\\CustomScriptsStore\\ctrlSelectionGroup.RsObj', -300, 600)

Not sure why it is not working for you. Maybe you can test this:
After looking inside the Link Editor frame window that you are using with the right click command , I notice the LE2node.
So I copied it into the ctrlSelectionGroup.

Also check out the 15 Game in Scenes - Active
See the InitScript script

Code: Select all

	' Force initialize
	Node.Value( System.ThisOwner + "/CheckSelection", "initialized" ) = False
	Node.Value( System.ThisOwner + "/ShowGameTimer", "initialized" ) = False
	' Activate Selection Change Event
	Node.Value( System.ThisOwner + "/Selection Change Event", "Active" ) = True
	Node.Value( Space.CurrentScene() + "/Fifteen/Timer Event", "Active" ) = True

and CheckSelection where he is using:

Code: Select all
