creating hierarchy question

Ashley

when using the create object action and checking the create hierarchy option, will this pick all the instances of the scene graph in the current action block, that have just been created?

atm this does not seem to be the behavior. but is this something you guys have considered for the creation of these nested objects?

also doing the picking manually in subevents does not work either

Good question.

Also the object angle drag handle is really in the way when working in the editor like this.

I noticed that selecting all the objects at once is not ideal. You have to treat the instances as bones.

One at a time, to go with the arrows.

adding "wait 0 seconds" after the creation of the root object lets me pick the children in subevents

but should the children instances getting created be treated like the root? and be picked in the creation action?

The architecture of the event system does not allow for objects not referenced in conditions or actions to be picked, so it's not currently possible to automatically pick other object types in the hierarchy that are a different type to the root.

Using conditions like "pick children" or "pick last created" should be used instead. If that doesn't work please file an issue.

Sorry to but in, but is there any way to create multiple hierarchies with the same instances?

Seems like the only way this works is to create at least one new object for each one.
