Adding tag to existing object

Post by Torquemada »

Hi
I wanted to make the editor a bit easier to use by redefining the object filter, for example make a new filter called "vegetation" so I can easily find all trees, bushes, flowers, etc. To do that I need to add an extra tag to the corresponding object called "vegetation". Is it possible to add a property to existing object without having to redefine the whole object?
Say instead of adding

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "forest_grass_01",
	baseObject = "base_floor_decoration",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "assets/models/env/forest_grass_01.fbx",
			castShadow = false,
			dissolveStart = 2,
			dissolveEnd = 4,
		},
		{
			class = "Animation",
			animations = {
				sway = "assets/animations/env/forest_grass_01_idle.fbx",
			},
			playOnInit = "sway",
			loop = true,
			maxUpdateDistance = 5,
		},
		
	},
	editorIcon = 240,
	reflectionMode = "never",
	minimalSaveState = true,
	tags = { "vegetation" },
}
I could simply do something line this:

Code: Select all

forest_grass_01.tags = {"vegetation"}

No, you have to redefine all items/objects and add tags manually


or...


You can download the files I'm using on my project which I already did that: zip file
It has more items than a default project so you'll still have to go through and delete my items. As far as I can remember the only thing I changed was the weight of some armors and maybe some sets, and there's some extra code in the stat potions and the 'onUseItem' function I added to foods
I also added some accessories and they wont work without the extra code so remember to remove them
