Search for attributes and assets

HoneyTribeStudios

Not sure if you're working on it already but it would be good if GS had a search feature so we could quickly locate rules where specific attributes and assets are being referenced.

E.g I have a some music that starts when my scene opens. I want to adjust the rules for it but I've completely forgotten where that rule is!

So at the moment I'll just have to manually open every instance and look down the list of rules until I find it.

Until that feature is implemented, DeepBlueApps has a program for that very thing;

Might be worth a look.

Good luck!

Also, one of the ways that I "search" for attribute usage is I hit the '-' on the game.attribute that I want and it gives a list of all the actors that reference that attribute.

It's a popup that says, "are you sure you want to delete this attribute? The following actors have this attribute."

That way I can see what actors are using that attribute.

Good luck!

Oh yeah I forgot about that.

Now all I need is a cunning trick to find where ever I told the music to start playing at the start of the scene...

Hmm. I don't know how to code, (that's why I love GS) but I wonder if that is kind of a search functionality that already exists that they could wrap up and slap in a menu. Just thinking out loud.
