Hello BlackBox,
The double snap cursor menu is a great idea. Is it possible to show me how to create this in the cui?
Many thanks in advance, Robbo.
Yeah, BBox...finally have some time to spend with this and I'm in the CUI but having time locating where I'd add these double-snaps....can you explain the procedure to create such a menu for us? Please and thanks
Hi guys,
Sorry to keep you waiting; I'm having a pretty crazy week, but will get back to you on this.
Thanks for your patience.
For the purposes of this example, we're going to assume that these CUI changes are being made to Main CUI.
The first thing I would do, is to decide what double snaps you want, and how you'd like them to be grouped.
With that outlined, in CUI Editor, you're going to be adding a new CUI Command (macro) for each-and-every-single double snap you desire, which is a good place to have some standardized naming convention, in order to make additions, and modifications especially, easy to find after the fact.
When creating these double snap CUI Commands, be sure to exclude the typical ^C^C prefix, as the intent here is to call these macros while in an active command, and you do not want to 'cancel' same.
Once you've created your individual double snap CUI Commands, you create a new Shortcut Menu, and give it an appropriate name. Make note of the Alias assigned to this new Shortcut Menu, you'll need that later. For this example, the Alias value is POP123.
To add CUI Commands to your new Shortcut Menu, in the lower left pane of the CUI Editor, select each of your newly added double snap CUI Commands, and drag them to your new Shortcut Menu. If you've named them so they're grouped together, multiple selection is easy. If not, well, perhaps you should reconsider that decision. LoL
With your double snap CUI Commands added to the Shortcut Menu, create another CUI Command which calls your Shortcut Menu's $P0=POP123 $p0=* macro.
Now, expand the Mouse Buttons node of the upper left pane.
For this example, we'll leave the Shift+Click as default Snap Menu. Now expand the Ctrl+Click node, remove the button assignments as desired, and ensure that either the top button assignment (button 2) is clear, or that you're comfortable with overwriting it.
Select your new Shortcut Menu's CUI Command, and drag & drop it on the Button2 Mouse Button.
This is merely a quick and dirty tutorial; I'll come back when I have time and dress it up with screen shots, etc.
Cheers
