Add "Replace Base" for References. #14

Closed Delta012 closed 7 months ago

Delta012 commented 8 months ago

It would be a great quality of life if we could change the assets of already defined References in the Creation Kit, without the need to do that in xEdit.

Perchik71 commented 8 months ago

What do you mean?

Delta012 commented 8 months ago

I mean, if I want to change the look of an already placed tree, for example, I need to do that with xEdit, and that's a bit tricky and tedious to do without the reference window in CK

robertgk2017 commented 8 months ago

You can do that in the CK already, just edit the Reference itself?

ja231c commented 8 months ago

I think he wants to change the Base Object of a Reference without removing and replacing it, as in, he's got a reference with Base Object of "SomeRandomTree01" and he wants to replace it with "SomeOtherRandomTree03", without deleting and placing it again, xEdit can easily do that, CK cannot or I'm a moron and haven't figured out how to change the Base Object of a Reference.

Yes, I meant exactly what ja231c said

Alt+Scroll mouse (middle button). It changes just like in a fairy tale. Only 1.6 and higher. Edit: Of course, from the list of objects that are adjacent, I change carpets and other crap like that. To enter with hands, there is a possibility of error, and it takes a long time.

ja231c commented 8 months ago

While that does work - it's only useful if you want to change to a similarly named object.

In many cases it would be better if we could replace Selected Objects with Object from the Object Window (or the Object Palette), maybe a new option in context menu of Objects in the Object Window/Object Palette, named "Replace Selected".
