Hiding functions parameters

Hello,

It is possible to hide the built-in function parameters from view, to make the function event blocks less heavy on the editor ?

I used to have lists of functions with the previous function object that was easily manageable with only the function name appearing at the top event.

Thanks

Doesn't look like it. That seems like a fairly simple suggestion to implement to me though.

Although I'm more concerned about why your functions have so many parameters that this would be a problem in the first place... I think you would normally want as few parameters as possible. If you've got over 3 or 4 parameters, your function is probably trying to do too much and could use some refactoring.

Some functions have 4-6 parameters, like creating something at runtime by passing name, x,y coordinates, angle, size, some informations.

Are you talking about performance or code readability ?

Mostly readability, there's nothing particularly wrong with having a lot of paramaters, just seems odd that it would be a problem, to me.

One thing that might help reduce clutter is to use event sheet includes, maybe keep your functions on separate sheets.

I used to have hundreds of functions for triggering effects, requesting commands and running ai states. These are already in separate events sheets called via includes, with at least 20 functions per sheet. Having functions displayed as a list without each paramaters name would be easier to read through, as parameters mostly only matter when editing the function core, I think.

I just did a suggestion here : https://construct3-21h2.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C321H2-I-497

brushfe, thanks for your image.

dop2000, of course you're right. I follow you on having the parameters displayed is the inline call.

brushfe, do you allow me to take your image to illustrate and clarify the presentation on the suggestion platform post ?

Sure thing, if it helps!
