I'm using Fazek's magnet tool, and I've found that sometimes I accidentally create additional points when using it if I don't take care not to click too close to any edges when I use it. Reading over the earlier parts of this thread, the point creation is an intentional design feature. This causes messed up results when I accidentally do it in the middle of an animation. Is there any way to disable point creation when clicking on an edge?
I don't want to modify my tool because of this, but you can modify row 148 in the fa_magnet.lua file:
from:
to:
With the ctrl button you can disable the point creation feature.
from:
Code: Select all
if (cveID >= 0) then
Code: Select all
if (cveID >= 0 and not mouseEvent.ctrlKey) then

Where is the download link?Fazek wrote:Now I added the usual group menu. I also updated the group menu part in all of the other tools so please, if upgrade, replace these and even the utility/fa_sharedutils.lua file.
ADDED - Replace Line tool: and I added a freehand tool style line width handling, and an individual point selection/translation function.
Never mind, i found it, but was not easy. Maybe could be a good idea to have some sticky post with the download urls of all nice scripts.

Just an FYI. I think I got stuck in an infinite loop using the paint bucket tool. I had some overlapping shapes, and it tried to use them and I think was trying to then fill an open ended curve/curves. Let it run for half an hour, at 100%cpu and memory was increasing.
I would send a screen shot, but I did not save. ack. 4 hours of work lost. So I guess, remember to save often.

Hey Vern!
I'm just wondering about something since I don't know diddly about writing scripts and such: I liked some of Fazek's tools, in particular his rotation tool since you could place the fulcrum of the rotation anywhere you want. Is there any plan to upgrade Fazek's tools for the new lua code that is available with AS 6?
Thanks,
S

Working on them right now as a matter of fact.
So far some of them work fine without any modifications. I am having a teeny tiny issue with his "Create Shape" tool. I can not get it to create a shape by pressing space. I think there may have been some change internally to AS 6.
In 5.6 pressing space to "play" only worked on frames past 0. Now pressing space to play works on any frame. Unfortunately for some odd reason Fazek's create shape tool will only activate "play" in the timeline when pressing space. It will not create a shape. I have no clue why this is other than the fact it isn't the "default" create shape tool. I have yet to test that.
I hope there is something in there I'm missing, but there is very little difference in the code for the LM and FA tool. Worst comes to worst I just have to leave that out.

You are free to test out anything you want. I have not finished checking them all yet. To avoid problems I am testing one tool at a time so I don't cause a bunch of confusing unrelated problems to track down.
The fa_sharedutils.lua works okay as far as I can tell. No errors when it is installed.
