Object Groups in Room Editor

[iampremo]

Requested in ticket Ticket #194541

 

Feature Type: feat_addition_ide Description: We should be able to shift-select multiple objects and create a group. Groups can then be saved, and then dragged into the room - with each object's relative positioning, creation code, and metadata is stored. This could work similar to the 'Libraries' section of the room editor, where a group is given a name and then recalled later. Benefit: It would allow more rapid level creation in our shmup, where the best enemy patterns could be saved and re-used later. Other uses would be creating 'pre-fabbed' groups of objects for setting up rooms (eg. camera, controllers, menu UI etc)

As the original author of this ticket (I think!) just adding a clarification: the minimum request would be to:

• Select multiple objects or assets on a layer
• Group them so they could be moved around together, as a group
• double click into the group so as to be able to move their relative positions about
• ungroup later if need be
• group groups, being able to double-click through their heirarchy

See Figma for inspo! Thanks @iampremo !
