Description

CreateObject

  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.NormalModel", objParams); where objParams is the object parameters to be created. for more information, please see object_editor

NormalModel

show the creator panel for this category of object
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.NormalModel");

NormalCharacter

show the creator panel for this category of object
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.NormalCharacter");

BuildingComponents

show the creator panel for this category of object
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.BuildingComponents");

UpdatePanels

whenever the selection changed, we need to call following command to update panels.
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.UpdatePanels");

ShowOBB

show or hide the object bounding box. if params is nil, it will toggle display
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.ShowOBB", true);

ShowReport

show or hide the graphics report. if params is nil, it will toggle display
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.ShowReport", true);

modify page

show or hide the modify panel. Modify panel is valid for both character and static model. And they share the same mcml page.
  • show the modify panel: Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.Modify");
  • hide the modify panel: Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.Modify", {bShow=false});

property page

Each scene object may have zero or several property pages, depending on the type of the scene object and applications installed. Normal character has CharPropertyPage defined in CreatorApp. It can be invoked by
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.CharProperty");
Object with replaceable textures(r2) has ObjTexPropertyPage defined in CreatorApp. It can be invoked by
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.ObjTexProperty");

To automatically invoke the appropriate property or modify page(whichever is important) of the currently selected or context menu object. Call below.

  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.DefaultProperty"); -- for selected object
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.DefaultProperty", {target="contextmenu"}); -- for context menu object
  • Map3DSystem.App.Commands.Call("Creation.DefaultProperty", {target=""}); -- hide all property page
Above function can be invoked by other applications, since it does not rely on any scene object hook.
