Are there any measuring tape tools for UEd? You know, like one that allows you to select vertices (like VertexEditor ) or snapped or unsnapped points on a vewport's grid?
It would be great if a tool could calculate the length of a line, anywhere in a map, using the vertices' or points' coordinates and squared or cubed Pythagorean theorem, if needed.
I hate having to look at the grid to count squares on old, detail-cluttered, undocumented, unfinished maps. It makes mapping take so much longer.

Place two ClipMarkers. Drag anywhere - Compute distance by Special Button.

Re: Measuring Tape Tool
Thanks. Is it possible to install just the Distance tool without the other editor tools or will that cause errors?Buggie wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 6:17 pm viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14061

Oh and what are ClipMarkers and how do I use them?
Re: Measuring Tape Tool
No. All come in once.
ClipMarkers - https://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Brush_Clipping
Just switch to BrushClipping mode. Ctrl + RMB in desired (or close + drag) place and press measurement button.
In general you can also select two any actors too. And press measurement button.
If you very want - you can extract each builder (button) in separate package and use only it.
Each class is independent.

Re: Measuring Tape Tool
So, I can make my own package and pirate the code into a Distance Object? Cool! Why didn't I think of that? Oh yeah, cause I'm a lazy sob. I better get to it if it'll help me with my work.
Thanks, Buggie.
Do I delete the "editorres" file that takes up 0 Kb disc space?

Re: Measuring Tape Tool
I know.
Here it is if anyone wants it. I'm no programmer so it has a little, insignificant problem. Check it all out and look at the script too.
Edit: new *.zip file with small fix.

Oh. Sorry, I forgot to mention that when I opened EditorTools.zip on my Windows XP computer there was a 0 Kb editorres file next to the editorres folder. I made a new EditorTools.zip, without the editorres file type, in my offline UT99 archive.
It must be some silly file corruption I guess, no big deal. I notice this happening here and there on that computer, mostly with *.zip files.

Re: Measuring Tape Tool
OK. I was opening it with Windows XP's built-in *.ZIP file opener/maker. Meh. It's no big issue. I have WinRAR and 7-Zip File Manager too.
