Ignore layer selection by tag

Post by Víctor Paredes »

Hi, do you think it's possible to modify the Layer selector tool in order to make a layer 'invisible' to it (and its Alt+right click shortcut) by adding a specific tag?
For instance, if I Alt+right click a layer with the tag 'ignore_selection' on it, then the Layer selector tool won't select it, but the layer behind it instead.
It would be extremely useful to have rigs easier to animate.
What do you think?

There's no way to alter the Alt+right-click behavior.

I guess you've run into needing to avoid multiple layers, if this no longer works for you: http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtop ... 63#p186263
Would this be useful without working with Alt+right-click?

Ah, sorry, Wes. I got confused about this and forgot about the thread.
I'm trying to build rigs easier to use for people who is maybe not familiar with Moho, so I'm trying different ways to simplify everything (and since my brain is not in the best conditions, that includes re-thinking about things that are solved by you already... :wink: )

No problem, Victor. That's why I asked before working on anything.
