GEORGE : Layer selection

It would be pretty nice, if you could get the information which layers are selected in George. Also it could be pretty handy if you could select multiple layers in it.

Bumping this request because some tools artists here have requested are entirely impossible without being able to detect multiple selected layers with George.

Can't you just run on all the layers with tv_layerinfo to check which are selected and put that in a list of variables to interact with? It's less handy that the command you want but such a command would be weird to use. How much variables would you get? How do you code that on your scripts?

I didn't realise LayerInfo had that info (in fact I didn't realise it could be called on a layer that wasn't the current layer). Thanks for the tip!
I suppose you have a point about how it'd be represented. I forget that George commands can only return simple data structures even though you can make tables/arrays yourself.

Nice 
You can also create a function for the whole process in one command and share it here hehe

I have!
I'm sure there's improvements that could be made (like a better way to iterate over layers) but this does the job for me. Here's the function:
Also some sample usage:

Code: Select all
get_selected()
selected = result
FOR x = 1 to select_count
tv_warn "ID"selected[x]

The layerselection item in tv_layerinfo is not listed on tvpaintwiki, but it is described in the TVPaint 11 Documentation published last year.
