Sort datablocks alphabetically

by Joe Rossi · in Torque Game Builder · 01/20/2008 (6:14 pm) · 3 replies

As a project grows it gets more and more difficult to choose images and objects from the behavior dropdown menus. I rewrote the functions to sort the datablock names alphabetically, but my solution uses Lua to do the sorting. I suggest this feature be added to a future version of TGB, it helps me a lot.

I second this. Our current project has a lot of items in each level and over time it becomes harder and harder to find items and data. This would save quite a bit of teeth gnashing. :)

I think the user should be able to have more control over their datablocks. They should be able to be put into groups or folders in my opinion. In my game I have over 50 datablocks on hand and it is really confusing at times.

I agree with you Phillip, an asset management system would be very useful and ideal.
