NOT A BUG!: GUI Editor Control Palette Usability NOT A BUG!
by Michael Hall · in Torque 3D Professional · 05/02/2009 (3:39 pm) · 8 replies
Trying to add a control to a GUI from the Control Palette doesn't work for any of the selections -- note: I didn't try them all.
Error message reported in the console.log:
"tools/guiEditor/gui/guiEditor.ed.cs (293): Unable to find object: 'GuiEditorInspectName' attempting to call function 'setValue'"
The erratic resizing of the Editor viewport has already been mentioned.

Silly me hadn't used the GUI Editor since TGE and had no idea you could drag and drop the controls from the palette. I thought it worked by selecting what you wanted and it would magically appear and you then moved it to where you wanted it.
Drag-and-drop is definitely better. What a fortuitous drunken accident to discover this :D

Resolved. Not a bug after all. And don't I feel stupid ;) Silly me hadn't used the GUI Editor since TGE and had no idea you could drag and drop the controls from the palette. I thought it worked by selecting what you wanted and it would magically appear and you then moved it to where you wanted it.

I'm probably far too scatterbrained to be much of a philosopher.

It's almost 3am here...and I'm swimming in a sea of Jager ;) I was literally falling out of my chair when I discovered that feature.I'm probably far too scatterbrained to be much of a philosopher.

Mmmmm... Sea of Jager.

scatterbrained is a prerequisite for a philosopher, and Jager, of course,
though absinthe 90% does a good job too ($30 a bottle here!! awesome stuff)

There has been many a night that I've played for free alcohol, and jager does seem to lead to sage advice -- I mean drunken rambling!
My how this thread has devolved ;) but at least there was no "real" bug!

Absinthe is about $100 to have imported here -- I should move...There has been many a night that I've played for free alcohol, and jager does seem to lead to sage advice -- I mean drunken rambling!
