Workspace Copy

Post by trueBlue »

The Workspace Copy command:
Node.Copy('', '')
Only copies one object at a time and the copied object is hidden underneath the selected object in the Link Editor
:roll:

@Clinton
Looking at your Mirror Matrix scripts, It looks like you have a way to make a proper Copy script that can copy multiple selected items and rearrange the copies in the Link Editor
Any way you could make this into a single script?

I think so, but I just discovered that the con remove trick doesn't work for lights. They seem to have a bunch of LE2Data connectors.
Also doesn't work for command scripts, they have 4 LE2Data connectors.

Yep it does not work for Lights or Scripts unless they are encapsulated 2D or 3D
I'll look into the Lights and see if I can fix the multiple LE2Data connectors
This is how I discovered removing the LE2Data connector
I noticed that the unreleased Gear primitive had several LE2Data connectors
LE2Data, LE2Data, 1, LE2Data, 2, LE2Data, 3 etc..

Try this on a new jScript

Code: Select all

var sel = Node.Copy('', '');
Node.ConRemove(sel, 'LE2Data')
Node.ConRemove(sel, 'LE2Data')
Node.ConRemove(sel, 'LE2Data')
Node.ConRemove(sel, 'LE2Data')
Node.ConRemove(sel, 'LE2Data, 1')
Node.ConRemove(sel, 'LE2Data, 2')
Node.ConRemove(sel, 'LE2Data, 3')
Works for Lights too!

It does work. My test shows that the LE2Data, 123 isn't needed.

Sweeeeet! :worship:
Almost perfect...
I selected several Lights, Cameras, and Scripts
Ran your script
Everything copied and rearranged except the Scripts did not rearrange
I added:

Code: Select all

Node.ConRemove(currentCopy, "LE2Data, 1");
Node.ConRemove(currentCopy, "LE2Data, 2");
Node.ConRemove(currentCopy, "LE2Data, 3");
Now the Scripts rearrange too!
Thank you! :D

Need to stop the error if it is ran with nothing selected
Invalid procedure call or argument Error code: 0x800a0005
Line: 17, Char: 2 Script text: var currentCopy = Node.Copy(currentNode, Node.Owner(currentNode));
I tried several different ways without success

A good object to test the above changes, use the GearObj.RsObj in the Objects - Script objects library
It has a hidden LE2Data, 3 con

Gear was a good sample.
In this case the "LE2Data, 2" wasn't really needed
I altered the code to add more plain vanilla "LE2Data con removes, added LE2Data123... with check for skipped value and added a try catch statement because the error is a tS bug that we can't fix. If you delete something tS still thinks it exists when you look for it in script.

YAY!!! :worship:
Perfect! :bananathumb:
Thank you so much! :D

I updated the Copy script in Commands
Updated all toolbars with the Copy icon
LMB runs Activity.Run('/Scripts/Commands/Copy')
RMB uses Node.Copy('', '')

Window.Shortcuts.xml
Workspace 3D Window & Link Editor Window
Ctrl + C
Activity.Run('/Scripts/Commands/Copy')

Return to “Workspace Side”
