how to sort the object info palette

[Raph]

Hello everyone,

here's a new question....

 

I'd like to be able to make groups or, and, above all, sort the options according to my choices. Currently, alphabetical order is preferred... grrr
how do I sort the item info palette?

Is there a trick?

 

Thanks

I haven't really used Marionette for a couple of years, so it might have changed, but as far as I know, the OIP will always appear in alphabetical order.  One trick that I've used is adding numbers to the front of all of the named variables in the order that I would like them to appear.  Such as "01 - BigSpiro G H4m".  It's a little clunky, but it was the only way I found that works.

you just have to add the number (1 2 3 4....) before the node name

if you look at my post about "objects in front or in back" the nodes are ordered in the OIP

[Raph]

Thanks for your answers

yes of course putting a number is a simple and effective solution!

I was wondering if there is a solution to do it in a hidden way?

I remember another parametric symbol where I tried to place a “_” before the name of the parameter entry.

But it doesn't work!

Another question ....
is it possible to make groups?

In this case, it's a matter of placing symbols on the left or right.

Would it be possible to make one group for right- and another for left- heights?

 

Thanke in advance

Hello

could you send your script ?

easyer this way to find a solution.

What you want at the end is to be able to choose in the OIP if it's a right or a left and then choose the higth  ?

Sorry I need a 2023 version, working on an old computer for marionette

Ok this is sorted now what kind of group do you want ? this is pretty easy to use this way. Tell me

[Raph]

how waou

 

How did you do it?
This way is already good!

 

I wonder if it's possible to have groups

like delimited containers

but ... separated this way is fine

 

thanks

Here is the file with the changes.

Because the whole script is in the node "Alcan with big spiro" it is very difficult to group the properties.

Hello

Thanks for this addition

ah... it's just done with a number

what I didn't understand is that the number is not visible!!!

 

Thank you

Hello

I changed your script and went back to a Marionette network.

This is the result.

Problems: If the script is developped it works fine.

If I envelope once the symbol  230V will not move and stays in the center.

If I transform it into object the “plaque” vanishes in 2D mode.
