Final trueSpace7.61 Beta 8 Std Unofficial Update

[trueBlue]

Never knew that the Show script did not work for original lights

Can we add something like this to the Show script?

Code: Select all

if(Node.IsLight(Sel) && !Node.ConExists(Sel, "RenderAttributes")) {
D3DView.ShowRenderAttribsForObject('', Sel);
ORA_was_created = true;
}

Also with the new ShowCameraAndLights & HideCameraAndLights script, I am getting an error when ran on original lights
Source object: /Scripts/Commands/HideCameraAndLights Error: Microsoft JScript runtime error Description: Invalid procedure call or argument Error code: 0x800a0005 - (null) Line: 44, Char: 3 Script text: Node.Value(curNode + "/Object Render Attributes", "Invisible") = true;

These work with old lights.

These work with old lights.

These new scripts work without error for original lights
But you will get an error, if you 3D Encapsulate original lights and run D3DView.ShowRenderAttribsForObject('', '');
This included scene has the Night Church lights that have been 3D Encapsulated

Any comment on adding the following to the Show script?

Code: Select all

if(Node.IsLight(Sel) && !Node.ConExists(Sel, "RenderAttributes")) {
D3DView.ShowRenderAttribsForObject('', Sel);
ORA_was_created = true;
}

It's not enough. it also needs the FindOrphanORA code and the part of the code that deletes the orphans. Even then it doesn't work. I think the way groups are handled needs to be completely different. I'm also starting to think that the Object hider node inside the camera and spotlights is not doing anything useful.

This is for the Show script and is added at around line 15
FindOrphanORA is already included in the Show script

example problem with current Hide and Show of Cameras and Lights:
group spotlights of default scene
hide cam and lights will hide them and show cam and lights will show them - good
"hide all" will hide them but then show cam and lights will not show them - bad
show all will bring them back - good
now hide cam and light will not hide them - bad

also if use the Show Object Attributes button on a group of lights then the Hide/Show Lights and Cameras doesn't work

The attached fix the problems described above. It uses techniques similar to the workspace layers 4 show and hide.

The tooltip in the D3D material Editor has an error. It says , "Edit picked material directly", but it should say "Edit DX material in Link Editor". Top image shows the original, bottom is the UU version.
The "Edit picked material directly" is an option in the advanced tab of the material editor.

So it should be "Edit DX material in Link Editor / Current Scene"
