Thank you very much for the help! But i think, i did not described the question good enough. I was meaning the execution of the scripts( macro operators) based on if edge is selected or not.
It’s kind of similar what you have already “Mesh select modes” where you can assign to every mode(edge,vert,face,object) different macros.
Let me try to explain. What i’m trying to do is to replicate the more smarter edge tool from silo/nvil where you don’t need preselect edges to merge them. You just need to hover over an edge with the mouse and execute merge via hotkey.
To avoid the preselection i use your macro operator which is amazing to run multiple actions at once. It has two “items” (select and merge)
I have here an example: edge_merge_without_preselection.json (548 Bytes)
and a video that shows the speed of it:
Now to my problem. The tool is not “smart” enough.
Sometimes i want preselect couple edges and merge them together instead of merge only whats under the mouse. For this i need this if-else behavior which runs different macros based on selected or not.
If one or more edges selected> then only merge
If no edge selected> select whats under the mouse+merge
Is it somehow possible to get something like this with existing operators? And if not can you create one if-else operator that can control multiple macro operators by using one hotkey? What do you think?
It’s not only this merge macro that can profit from this but a lot of tools, like connect, extrude and much more, everywhere you need preselect components.
Thank you in advance.
