How to create a filter: to hide a specific model type?

[Bikerdude]

So I am trying to find a way to hide a specific model type, in this case .LWO - any ideas..?

Hmm...

 

<filter name="Hide LWO">
	<filterCriterion type="entityclass" match=".*" action="show" />
	<filterCriterion type="entityclass" match="*.lwo" action="hide" />
</filter>

?

<filter name="Hide LWO">

	<filterCriterion type="entityclass" match="*.lwo" action="hide" />
</filter>

?

 

 

It's been a long time since I worked on the filter system, but I'm dubious that that would work. The entity class for a model is going to be func_static, surely, rather than including the model file extension?

 

I think you'd need a filter that matches on the model spawnarg, if the filter system supports matching on arbitrary spawnargs.

<filter name="Hide LWO">
	<filterCriterion type="entityclass" match=".*" action="show" />
	<filterCriterion type="entityclass" match="*.lwo" action="hide" />
</filter>

Tried this already, the above causes a error popup in DR and if you click abort DR crashes to desktop.

The following will work (tested it).

• go to filters/edit filters
• press the add button
• give the filter a suitable name
• press the add button to add a new filter rule
• apply the following settings: Type=entitykeyvalue Entity Key=model Match=(*.).lwo Action=hide
• press save to confirm the changes

Note that you can bind a keyboard shortcut to your custom filter (useful if you use it often).
