RENAME GROUP OF COMPONENTS

PAULO RICARDO SAENGER shared this feedback ago

Submitted

I often want to rename a group of components. However, I am required to rename one by one.

For example, "MINER - LARGE CONTAINER", "BASE - REACTORS", "BASE - HANGAR DOORS", "MINER - DRILL".

Instinctively, I select various components on the control panel and try to rename them.

I like this feedback

I use a script I made to rename blocks, its very easy to make. Just adjust the type of block you want and the name you want. It comes with a commented modifier for the custom data too.

public Program() { }

public void Save() { }

public void Main(string argument, UpdateType updateSource)
{
    List<IMyTerminalBlock> blocks = new List<IMyTerminalBlock>();
    GridTerminalSystem.GetBlocksOfType<IMyCargoContainer>(blocks, (b => b.CubeGrid == Me.CubeGrid));
    int count = blocks.Count;
    foreach (IMyTerminalBlock block in blocks) {
        block.CustomName = "Cargo " + (i + 1).ToString().PadLeft(count.ToString().Length, '0');
        //block.CustomDate = "Whatever you like";
    }
}

Very nice. But I really want a single feature, where it's not necessary use of advanced stuff.

I want select 2 or more components in the Control Painel and rename all together.
