    Default SubTool Grouping Script Pack

    Hi!

    Handling huge number of subtools in Zbursh can be tedious. (It sounds like a bad tv commercial...)
    I stared to create a little subtool managemnet tool in my spare time. It's in a very early stage but I thought it might be useful for others as well.



    The current functions (In non alphabetical order):
    - groupVisible: puts a "Grp+Number+_" tag on the beginning of the subtools. If there are already existing groups, creates a nametag based on the biggest+1.
    - groupSelect: selects the group of the active subTool. (hides everything else)
    - inVis: flips the visibility on all subtools (little eye on SubTool menu).
    - setActiveGrp: creates an "Active Group" variable in the memory, so basically it remembers the last used group
    - groupAdd: sets the current subTool to be part of the Active group
    - groupCurrent: puts the active subTool in a new group, and sets itself as Active group

    So I can imagine two main usage:

    If you only want two groups, is like:
    1, make visible the subtools that you want in the first group
    2, hit groupVisible -> hit inVis -> hit groupVisible. Done, you have two main groups which you can switch with groupSelect

    The other one on based on multiple subtools:

    1, select the starting subtool
    2. hit groupCurrent (puts it in a group)
    3, select the other wanted subtools, and hit every time groupAdd
    4, hit groupSelect and inVis if you want them to be hidden and deal with the other subtools
    (Better quality: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1SQVaVS0WQVRlp1anVTcHJSTGc/view?usp=sharing )


    (Currently the script doesn't work if there are two or more subTools with the same name. But I made a name regulizer script too, so that's not much of a big problem.)

    You can download the package here:

    It's free


    Special thanks for Marcus and Nick Mill.

    This is the first version of the scriptpack, so it can buggy, please, let me know is something not working correctly. Hopefully I will release some of my other scripts later.

    Default better solution

    Hey guys!
    Just wanted to say, that if you are using my grouping script pack, you should check it out the new ZSceneManager. I think it's a way better solution. It has a separate window, great features, etc.
    It uses the same solution, that I tried, but the implementaion and the whole thing is waaay better than mine.
    Check it out!
