Input Values

[darkcowman 8]

Instead of just moving items, blocks, schematics etc. on the Cartesian plane/coordinate grid, it would be much easier to specify the direction and distance to move objects, by typing them in.

Like the input value for sizes? If so, it seems pretty useful. But I think the green grid is going in 1.0.0. :/

It would basically allow you to quickly position your character for things like walking/running animations, when you have to move each key frame a certain distance away.

David has stated that he's complete renovating the animation system, who knows what we'll have. Maybe it'll be input, although that's a lot of variables to type in...

I REALLY hope something like this gets implemented, this is one of the reasons I don't animate much.

[ZerbGames 55]

As do I.

Not sure what you mean, can you give an example? The ability to type in the X/Y/Z is coming, btw.

That's what he meant. The ability to type in X/Y/Z.

He made it sound something like a couple of textboxes for an angle and distance, then the object is moved there.

Yeah a couple of text boxes to quickly specify the x, y, and z coordinates for the next point, on a movement path. It would be cool though to specify a specific rotation value as well as coordinate values. It's hard with the current rotation adjustment wheels to perfectly line up objects at 90, 180, 270 degree angles. (Also I find that even when they read a specific angle value, they are sometimes a little bit off).

Well you can already type in rotation angles, just right click and select manual input. if you mean, just to one click and enter, hopefully that'll make a debut too as it has been suggested before.

Wut Ay To The Hay Sed

Oh, I had no idea you could right click to input exact values for rotation.  

 

I guess you learn something new every day
