Change the Select, Move, Scale, Rotate and Transform tools so that their mouse raycast selection ignores parts that have enabled the .Locked property.
Problem
I frequently find my selection blocked by a locked or invisible locked that I don’t want to be selecting because I literally cannot select it. This means I have to move my camera over through the part so I can select the part I want to select.
Oh noes! I can’t click on my tree! If I can’t select an object that’s Locked, why would I want my Select tool to catch on it?
Situations where this would be incredibly helpful:
- Many developers use .Locked, .Transparency = 1 as indicators or map barriers. Builders need to be able to select and move parts that intersect with these meta parts.
- Using a locked transparent part as size guidelines for building (can’t select what’s inside the locked transparent part if your camera is outside!)
- Plenty more!
To prove my point further, I’ve even included a demo place! Try to select the objects in the workspace with the Select tool. locked.rbxl (46.7 KB)
If I can’t see it and I can’t select it, I don’t want my mouse to get caught by it.
