[Request] Add Object Toolbox

Open Teu3hgb opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

The object toolbox would be a system where you can templatize an object or group of objects and save it to a "Toolbox" for easier use in the future.

Here are my suggestions for how this toolbox system should work. Please note these are just ideas and you are welcome to change them how you see fit.

Saving objects

Saving to the toolbox would be as simple as right clicking an object in the world and hitting "Save to toolbox".

Naming and Grouping objects

Objects should be namable and groupable. A group allows you to categorize items into certain familiar categories such as "Dunbarton props", or "Emain props" (which have different styles, so should be in different groups). To create a new group, you should right click the toolbox and hit "Create new group".

The name of an object should be loosely based on the object's name ingame, but it should be renamable and unique.

By default, a saved object should not have a group, but you should be able to drag+drop the object into it's desired group after you save it.

Exporting and Importing

Object groups should exportable and importable to a file to allow artists to share them among each other.

It is notable to mention that your toolbox should stay regardless of what region you have opened.

Additionally, there could be a potential problem if you open multiple windows (per my suggestion #7) and modify the toolbox.
