How many times have you tried to move a GuiObject precisely but those nasty studio outlines got in the way?
I am talking about this:
It is quite difficult to move that red square exactly where you want it!
This plugin gives an effortless solution to that!
As you can see in the video, you may select any GuiObject and either hit ESC or click with your mouse in an empty area to deselect it, the plugin will remember what you selected and will let you to control your GUI however you’d like without those bulky outlines getting in the way!
Features:
You can use the scroll wheel inside the boxes to move by the mentioned increment.
You can use your numpad’s 2,4,6,8 to move down, left, right, up respectively.
You can place the anchor point in 9 pre-defined positions using the square buttons.
Please note:
Deselecting multiple GuiObjects using ESC will leave one GuiObject selected, so please deselect by pressing M1 in an empty space or by selecting a non GuiObject instance (e.g part, workspace etc.)
While that’s a cool plugin, it doesn’t solve the issue of having to deal with studio borders and doesn’t give you the option to move your Gui objects with pixel precision.
Please read the whole post instead of just the title before saying anything, UI Tools doesn’t give you the ability to move your GUIObjects with pixel precision at ease. It doesn’t even let you move the anchor point to mostly used positions.
Every work deserves respect, just don’t call your plugin with “Tools”. It is based on positioning and resizing, and “GUI Tools” is not a really accurate name for it. The 2 useful things I see here are moving the objects with increment and setting anchor point. All other features can be replaced by properties tab. Still it has some features my plugin doesn’t have, and please don’t be toxic just because the name is similar to my plugin’s name.
I can say that about your plugin too, and about many other tools plugins out there. The point of these plugins is to make the workflow faster and less tedious. I have been annoyed by Studio’s GUI moving tools, especially those outlines, so I made this plugin to help me, so I figured I can share it with others who feel the same. Same way F3X made the building tools plugin, it’s for the sake of easability.
This was littered with bugs, I hopefully fixed everything and should now provide intuitive workflow experience.
If there are any bugs you come across by, please let me know.
Hey! Don’t know if you’re still around and cool plugin btw! One little problem, why can’t I set the offset step to 0? I don’t want to change the offset at all. I only want the scale to change. Whenever I try setting the offset to 0, it just resets back to 1. Suggestions?
It’s not possible to move less than one pixel at a time, so the Offset Step has to be an integer greater than 0. So if you want to change the scale only, just edit the scale instead of the offset.
