Anyone else missing the select menu and some other controls in the addanimpoint-tool.....?

The only one that shows up in my menu bar is the "sharp corners" check box. Nothing else.
That's the way it's supposed to be. "Auto weld" and "Auto-fill" doesn't apply to this tool since it can only add points on existing shapes. It's not meant as a replacement for the normal add point tool.

ah, of course, I see.

I was just wondering since I saw that these controls existed inside the code, but they are only "leftovers" from the original add point tool, then.

Great tool PonySmasher, real magic.
I have one problem though , probably user error from my side, but I'm hoping there might be an explanation.
I get a black bar at the bottom of the toolbar which causes AS to crash if I run the cursor over it. This happens sometimes after I incorrectly install a script.
Normally it is because I place a menu script in the tool folder.
Your add animated point tool however is producing the bar/crash even though the tool itself works spectacularly.
If I delete the ds_addanim_point lua the black bar crash goes away.
I want my cake and eat it too, can you help?

Black bar that causes crashes? Never had that happen. But the tool icon shows up? It's not just the question mark?
Could you upload a screenshot? Maybe that could give me a clue.

Hi guys, first post here.

These are great scripts ponysmasher. Thank You.

But do any of these scripts work with AS 9?
Are there any updates planned for these scripts?

These scripts would be a pleasure to use alongside AS 9's smart bones.

Hey Bossco - the functionality of these scripts has actually been added to AS9 core. If you add a point after a shape has been animated it will stick to the shape throught. Some other complimentary stuff has been added too - check out my tutorial here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=22992

Thanks funksmaname, that was very informative.

I've just tried it out and it works great.

I may as well take the opportunity to also thank you for all the informative posts and videos you've made before as well. As I've been a lurker for a while and have learned a lot just from watching some of the innovations and tricks that you and others such as selgin regularly post.
Hopefully I'll eventually post some of the fruits of my labour. But thanks again.

Awesome tool Ponysmasher, any chance of a scroll bar or something to for a lot of actions?

Oh btw that black bar was a user error, I had a space instead of a tab in the tool list.
