I made a post about this feature a while ago on zendesk, but it appears to have been buried.
This feature is simple yet useful. Like in legacy CV1, if you have multiple of the same chips selected, it will automatically wire all available chips to the ports you are trying to connect.
This would be especially useful for lists.
Even more so with execution ports.
This is so cool, it will save so much time!
Interesting… they’d have to add a feature to where you could select the object you’re wanting to connect multiple other chips to, and when you press “connect to other object boards” it would then have you select the object boards that you’re wanting to connect to. Kind of like how when you update an invention, when it has you select the pieces you want to update the invention with.
I have some form of Concept for how this’d work.
You’d select all chips that you’ll connect to the input of a chip. (For instance, all of the Inventory Item Constants). Then, you’ll act as if you are connecting the top wire, which’ll hook in all of the constants into the List Create.
Easier for exec ports, woth data ports they would have to code it to go in a certain way it would be really hard to do.
but it would be hard to automatically choose which ports from the selected chips youre trying to connect. like, assume the ones on the left here are the ones selected:
A good way to fix this would be being able to select the ports you want to connect specifically
I don’t think specificity is needed on that far of a level. Just enough so that grouling tasks like connecting large lists, or sequences is made easier. So I would not mind having it just connect the first basic or default port of each chip.
However I really like @Rooster_8075 proposal to get around this issue of ambiguity on what ports the creator is trying to connect. Instead just select the specific ports you’re trying to make connections with and it will do all the connections for you, sounds great to me!
yeah i also like the @Rooster_8075 idea, but it might be kind of annying when youre trying to select an entire chip as opposed to a single port. maybe it could be a seperate option like “Select Connections” which could also expand this idea to more than jsut connecting chips. (what if you could select WIRES and delete multiple at a time? just a thought)
