[ PLUGIN ] AdvSelect - Your Personal Assistant In Visualizing Objects You've Selected

UPDATE: June 16th, 2022: Plugin has been upgraded to utilize the new “Highlight” feature!!

Hi, everyone!

This plugin is the product of me repeatedly forgetting to select corners in a map I’m currently developing, thus leaving walls or other geometry in the “mirroring” of a hallway, due to how the current selection outlines get lost in overlapping geometry.

FEATURES

  • Creates a Highlight object around any selected object, only when you select them.

Planned Updates

  • “Snap” feature - allowing BaseParts to snap together
  • Native support for “Redshift SDK”
  • GUI to change settings such as: Color, Outline Color, Transparency, and Outline Transparency

Hi, everyone!

This plugin is the product of me repeatedly forgetting to select corners in a map I’m currently developing, thus leaving walls or other geometry in the “mirroring” of a hallway, due to how the current selection outlines get lost in overlapping geometry.

FEATURES

  • Forms a green outline around any object that you select, making it very easy to view what you’ve selected already, rather than relying on a outline that can get hidden in more complex geometry.

Nice plugin!

The selection doesn’t update whenever I resize/move the part.

  • nevermind just realised thats a planned update

Looks cool and definitely seems useful. I don’t like how the default Studio selection box shows the full selection size only, making it hard to see if stuff inside of your selection box actually got selected, and this solves that problem.

I’m assuming this is using the new Forcefields, right? I haven’t had time to mess around with them yet but this would be a cool use of them.

It is indeed using the new forcefield material! :slight_smile:

Update: June 16th, 2022:

Plugin now utilizes the new Highlight object instead of forcefields! Should be much better in terms of performance!

This sounds like a cool plugin, but how do we access it? It says I need permission in order to view/access the plugin. Sorry if this is annoying!

I disabled it since this is a native thing in Roblox Studio now.

AdvSelect? :face_with_monocle:

Also can you add the outline to the highlight, only being able to see the bounding box is kinda eh :confused:

This is a feature in studio now

I knoew just suggesting a feature lolz :V
Also i ran out of hearts :frowning:

Oh i just noticed the creator said he removed the plugin :skull:
