Script that opens any node as a floating panel with opened panels organized from right to left.
It has one issue in that if the node the panel was created from is deleted the floating panel remains.

There are more options by setting connector values on the script node than shown below, but it can be run like so:

Code: Select all

    start = "/Scripts/CustomCommands/OpenFloatingPanel/Start"
    Node.Value(start, "TheNode") = full path to the node
    Activity.Run(start)

It uses an updated Global Functions Set

The only change compared to the UU version is that 1 line was added to the top

Code: Select all

var PreExistingWindowFrames;

Small Update
The script Aspect value was not resetting itself after running, fixed so value is set to 3 after the run

Updated with modified trueBlue code

When the source node is deleted the floating panel will close
Add check for invalid selection

Is currently limited to 8 automatic closing panels at one time. After the limit is reached an option/warning is given and all subsequent panels will not automatically close when the source node is deleted. I figure 8 is enough but more can be easily added.

Update

added the ability to open a floating panel at the mouse location relative to the active window

Code: Select all

    start = "/Scripts/CustomCommands/OpenFloatingPanel/Start"
    Node.Value(start, "TheNode") = full path to the node
    Node.Value(start, "AtMouse") = true
    Activity.Run(start)

Update

I discovered that the script will fail to open the panel if the object is open in a le window. This release fixes that problem.

1 line changed in the start script.

Code: Select all

	//only open 1 frame window for the object

	for(var i=0;i<Node.SubObjectCount(WMS);i++) {
		var frame = WMS + "/" + Node.SubObject(WMS, i);
		//if(!Node.ConExists(frame, "RootNode")) continue;
		if(!Node.ConExists(frame, "RootNode") && Node.Exists(frame + "/Panel Node")) continue;
		if(Node.Value(frame, "RootNode") == TheNode) {
			params.SetTerminationFlag();
			return;
		}
	}

Re-Released

Bad code got through QC somehow. The actual working change is

Code: Select all

	//only open 1 frame window for the object

	for(var i=0;i<Node.SubObjectCount(WMS);i++) {
		var frame = WMS + "/" + Node.SubObject(WMS, i);
		if(!Node.ConExists(frame, "RootNode")) continue;
		//if(Node.Value(frame, "RootNode") == TheNode) {
		if(Node.Value(frame, "RootNode") == TheNode && Node.Exists(frame + "/Panel Node")) {
			params.SetTerminationFlag();
			return;
		}
	}

Update July 5

new option AllowCopies enables multiple copies of a panel to be open - not used for anything yet

new: if a panel is already open then the aspect of the open panel is updated instead of just stopping - needed for the upcoming NURBS release
