How to turn off all Home tools in plugin?

hi, I’m making a plugin that requires you to click parts, but because of this, studio automatically makes you select the part. How do I disable the Select, Move, Scale, and Rotate tool?

I guess you can use Selection Service to manage the selection state of parts.

All you need to do is:

game.SelectionService:Remove(game.SelectionService:Get())

4

Then just make sure obviously that the :Remove function is on a pcall, since a player could be selecting something that isn’t locked. And also check to make sure Get() has something.

Example:

local SelectionService = game.Selection

-- Makes sure :Get() isn't just {}
if next(SelectionService:Get()) ~= nil then
	
	local success, err  = pcall(function()
		return SelectionService:Remove(SelectionService:Get())
	end)

	if not success then
		warn(err)
	end
end

I’ve fully tested it. Remove will not destroy it, it will unselect the actual part/object

Sorry for the necro bump, but wouldn’t it make more sense to, rather than remove the selection. To set the Selection to an empty table?

--Makes sure :Get() isn't just {}
if next(SelectionService:Get()) ~= nil then
     --Set Selection to empty table
     SelectionService:Set({})
end
