Final trueSpace7.61 Beta 8 Std Unofficial Update

[trueBlue]

After looking at the Hide & Show xml scripts, it looks like there needs some more code to look for the Input Attributes on a selection and if it exist do not create an ORA
Crossed post
Edit
The Show xml too
Edit2
HideAll & ShowAll xml scripts are not working with your scene's Cubes/NURBS group

[clintonman]

I have the start of a fix for the Show and Hide scripts.
Before running "D3DView.ShowRenderAttribsForObject" it will delete all the child "Object Render Attributes" nodes except for the top one. Then afterward it will remove the disconnected connector to prevent it's memory from interfering with future show hides. ex.) If connector remains with visible it would prevent making it invisible later.

Something similar might be needed for the showall and hideall. I need to install the latest UU on this machine to see.

NURBS are a whole other thing so won't be looking at that until last.

So we are on the same page, I removed the BlockRsTSEvents code from the HideAll & ShowAll

Thanks, I'll do the same.

Show All and Hide All

Show All does not create any ORAs and it continues searching down the heirarchy to set all existing ORAs to visible.

Hide All searches all top level objects until an ORA is found and then does the same thing as the Hide selection script when one is found, removes all child ORAs, cleans the connector and sets to invisible.

It seems to all be working, so NURBS are next.

Just tested with NURBS and it looks good. So next is checking/fixing the layers and I think the Hide(All)/Show(All) may interfere with layers.

Thank you!
Did some quick test this morning
One thing I notice is the Object_Name is not being updated for the Hide & Show
Suggestion
Change Hide

Code: Select all

if(Node.Exists(Sel + "/Object Render Attributes") && Node.ConExists(Sel + "/Object Render Attributes", "Object_Name")) {
			util.SetNodeValueInt(Sel +  "/Object Render Attributes", "Invisible", -1);
var str = Node.ShortName(Sel)
util.SetNodeValueString(Sel + "/Object Render Attributes", "Object_Name", str)
			if(!Node.Exists(Sel + "/Object hider")) {
				RsStackView.SetPanelExportInfo(Sel + '/Object Render Attributes','Default',1,1);
			}
		}

Also noticed that the ORA's Object_Name was not updating on change
Here is a replacement
Put it in the preobjects folder

I will not be available until later tonight

Awesome, your new Hide & Show scripts works better then the tS native D3DView.ShowRenderAttribsForObject('', '') command

Applying Hide & Show to a Group inside a Group creates a separate/working ORA panel and no longer works with the Parent Group's ORA
If you use the native command it adds ORA and hooks it up to the InputAttributes connector in with which makes it no longer work from the new ORA or the Parent Group's ORA
Great work Clinton!

layers UU version update

I was going to document what changed but it was such a mass(mess) of changes and errors while fixing that I lost track.
This works better with groups inside of groups. Fixed the new layer mode which was blank instead of "Global".
Remove layer and show layer had some small quick processing bugs. There may be some other changes but there were so many "fix this and that over there breaks" that I just don't recall.

Children of groups can be in different layers, but if the group is assigned to a layer afterward all the children will follow. I found that if you try to preserve the children layers it just kind of breaks all over the place. This isn't a change, just something I noticed/remembered.

Long story short, it should be better than before...I hope...

@Clinton
Just noticed that the HideAll script changes the Curves/LOD Mesh's ORA
These are the corrected values that get changed:

Code: Select all

	Node.Value(selectedObj_ + "/Object Render Attributes", "Receive shadows") = 0
	Node.Value(selectedObj_ + "/Object Render Attributes", "Cast shadows") = 0
	Node.Value(selectedObj_ + "/Object Render Attributes", "Invisible") = 0
	Node.Value(selectedObj_ + "/Object Render Attributes", "Show backfaces") = -1
	Node.Value(selectedObj_ + "/Object Render Attributes", "Surface Opacity") = 0
	Node.Value(selectedObj_ + "/Object Render Attributes", "Edges opacity") = 1
	Node.Value(selectedObj_ + "/Object Render Attributes", "Ignore layer attributes") = -1

Is there a reason why you are switching to Setting in the Stack with the HideAll & ShowAll scripts?

I also have a fix for the Desktop/Scene's Show Object Attribs button script
