Script to hide/unhide objects?

Coding Python Support
1

Hello

Anyone know if a script exists to go through a scene and hide/unhide objects of a specific type?

Eg hide all the empties in a scene

thanks in advance

why? what’s wrong with using the “select by type” feature?

and then pressing “H” to hide the selected object type or ALT+H to unhide them.
Or do you require a specific “behavior” from such a script?

Such an obvious solution :o

Much quicker than me learning the Python API

thank you

NP, :slight_smile: but I do understand sometimes ppl or programmers require extra functionality from a specific script, hence my final question.

pd. I found some info on something similar at Kino’s Italian blender forums:
http://kino3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6588&sid=119d69c7d8b488b93f3bdc15c73cf794

There are some pieces of code here and there that you can check out. :wink:
However, blender’s got tons of things we don’t even imagine that are already there.

Thanks for the link Alvaro - I will go through it

btw I know Game Engine python commands but not Python regarding the rest of Blender
