Right Click -> Convert Similar ClassName

If we could right click and have an button right where that arrow is that says ‘Convert’ which opens up a small list saying ‘TextLabel TextBox TextButton’ and it did the same for ImageLabels/ImageButtons.

I find it really annoying when I make this simple mistake and have to get a plugin to convert everything or do it by hand.

Tbh I just think this is something that you should just have a quick and easy plugin for.

I mentioned that in OP.

We could have a plugin for it but it seems so… strange. At least to me.

Edit: It’d be cool if it also worked with TrussPart conversions and other similar objects like Screen/Surface/Billboards

I know, but I just don’t think we need to add a right click option for that. Just my 2 cents though.

Edit: Now you’re talking. If you have more types of conversions, then that only improves your argument to have a right click option. [quote=“ScriptOn, post:3, topic:28367”]

Edit 2: I really like @EchoReaper 's idea, but either will do.

IMO it’d be better if ClassName was a dropdown that allowed you to select similar objects.

Similar objects as in go all the way up to the superclass that’s a subclass of Instance, and then any descendant of that would be similar enough to convert to.

Support.

I always get mixed between the three and have to end up re-doing my GUI xD

I don’t see an huge group of users that would actually use it, you can create an plugin and bind that to an keyboard shortcut for quick access. Sorry, I don’t see the need.

Could? As in you don’t have a plugin for it yet? https://www.roblox.com/Stravant-ClassChanger-item?id=170789480
This also lets you convert multiple similar selections into the same class at once. Tbh there are a few plugins that should be installed by default.

Plugin keyboard shortcuts don’t work unless the viewport is focused, so if you selected anything other than a part or selected a part through the explorer instead of the viewport, you’d have to focus the viewport before being able to use the shortcut. Pretty cumbersome to deal with.

ClassChanger plugin - 973 installs, which places it at page #7 of 658 (top 1% percentile) of bestselling plugins of all time. It really only advertises as a GUI converter too (I didn’t even know it did more until now), so if it was clearer that it worked with all objects, I imagine it’d have even more downloads. There’s definitely a demand for this kind of stuff.

^ It’s not just GUIs btw

Class change in general would be great but don’t make it UI-specific pls.

@ScriptOn if you like the idea of omni-purpose class changing, consider changing title/OP for convenience of staff

Does it all the time, especially for imagelabels and imagebuttons.

You mean this?

Yes <3

This MUST happen :open_mouth:

In the mean time, you can use a plugin.
I use https://www.roblox.com/library/170789480/Stravant-ClassChanger but it’s kinda outdated…

I helped a friend make a plugin for this, thanks for crushing our very limited success </3
