Description

Description:

Execute a block of code in which all Eden Editor operations will be recorded as one history step. For example creating an entity, setting its attributes and then connections would normally be recorded as three different steps. Calling them all within single collect3DENHistory block will group them together and the user will need to undo only once to revert the changes.

ⓘ

In order to only change the 2nd or 3rd parameter of the alternative syntax use nil as the preceding parameters.

Contrary to other code block structures (call, if/then/exitWith, switch/case/default, etc.) the code block of collect3DENHistory will not return any value:

_unit = collect3DENHistory { create3DENEntity ["Object", "C_Protagonist_VR_F", screenToWorld [0.5, 0.5]]; }; _unit // <null>
