Revert SelectionBoxes (plugin)

As you may know, the default Hover box system has been replaced with a new variant that utilizes some form of the new Highlight instance, albeit custom or something else of the sorts. I’ve found myself not really liking this new selection system, and so I’ve made a plugin that will emulate the functionality of that previous selection mode; as the ability to toggle back to that old selection mode doesn’t exist.

(apologies in advance for the maybe bad looking ui, don’t really make plugins all that often)

Features

There are settings, that allow for you to modify most things in regards to the actual SelectionBoxes themselves including their selected size, unselected size (size when you hover over them), and the speed at which the actual hover color change effect plays.

Feel free to provide feedback/ tell me about any bugs, as I haven’t done that much QA testing.

wait how did you remove the new one?

Who’s gonna tell him that you can go into the View tab and click on Bounding Boxes?

I genuinely did not even know that existed, wow. I don’t really know what else to say honestly besides question how I didn’t notice and how google repeatedly ends up useless as ever.

guess i had to make a full plugin to be corrected unfortunately ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m sure you learned a lot though from the experience, and that’s the best thing. Plus, this is good to put out there for anyone who wants to do BoundingBox manipulation via code (ex: in a non-Studio testing context).

Just because there’s a better solution doesn’t mean it was in vain!
