T.O.O.L. Group & Convenience Update
Added 2020-06-25 18:25:25 +0000 UTC
T.O.O.L. (Takes Objects Off Lot) has been updated with multiple features and improvements.
- Group support has been added. Shift-clicking the ground will offer a TOOL menu that has "Set Grouping Box" and "Toggle Group" options. You can define a square area by using the Set Grouping Box option on two points on the ground, and then activate all objects in that square using the Toggle option.

- Single-Click Move. When you use the Active Object/Group feature, any clicks on the ground, floor, wall, or roof will result in the object teleporting there immediately. You will notice the move active object option missing from the ground menu because it's now unnecessary. To exit this mode, shift-click and use the toggle active object/toggle group option again.
- Single-Click Object Switching. Once you've marked an object active, selecting any object that's not active will automatically switch to that object. Again, to exit this mode, simply shift-click the active object and toggle active off.
- Hide Grouping Box. Because of the new group options, I've added this option to hide the markers when desired.
- Rotation Bug Fixed. Some players reported that the rotation axis wouldn't refresh until you re-opened the dialog. It now auto-reopens the dialog and refreshes the axis as originally intended.
- MovableDialog Option re-added. I've updated this alternative version of TOOL for Eco Lifestyle, which lets you move the camera around while using TOOL dialog boxes. If you choose to use this version, keep in mind it can cause some mildly annoying glitches with escape menus (such as having to close a box to see the confirmation box).
I hope this is found as a huge improvement for productivity with TOOL. Thanks everyone!
INSTRUCTIONS:
This is a multipart mod so I've zipped them. Pick the version you'd prefer below (regular or MovableDialog) and open it. Drag the two files inside to your mods folder.
- TS4script files can NOT be more than 2 folders deep in your mods folder.
- Keep the ts4script and package file together.
EDIT: Quick hotfix for elevation not working with group objects. Please re-download if you already grabbed it.
Possible, my game crashed for an unknown reason, it's been going well for a long time. I always check for duplicates, I saw the duplicates between the Zerbu mod and yours, something happened, but it's okay, I start again. I have a question, Weerbesu also does a job of downloading the screen of the game part. It loads the interactions so that the part resumes directly at the start of the game. It's a script too. I wonder if it too would be, a bit, like your background download. We see the elements light up with a modified wallpaper.

I found your discord post and replied. Doesn't seem to be caused by tool.

Thanks for the info, but I have an error message, I sent it to Discord. It is in the wire and that did not happen before. I attempted the move and this LE message appeared, I don't know why this is happening. I clicked on the ground, a placement cross and nothing was happening, thank you for your help. I use the TOOL since its creation and I have done a lot of things with it, I have a well-established habit with this tool;)

The move interaction is gone because it is no longer needed. Activate an object and then just click the ground to move (not shift click)
Ironseagull has a tutorial if visuals would help.

Does not work in my game, I select an object and I can no longer find the command to move to another point. Selection and then, we come across group orders. I put back the old version.
