    Hello,

    I am new to puzzles and would like to select only objects having a specific set of string in its name.

    Example: I have 4 object named square1; square2; sphere1; and sphere2.
    I would like to select all the objects that have “square” in their name.
    It is important to note that I don’t want to group them together since square1 and sphere1, and square2 and sphere2 are already grouped in their respective groups “1” and “2”.

    Is it possible?

    Thanks!

    How do you want to select objects? To make them outlined or just add their names to a list? You can use this puzzle to compare names

    The puzzle will return -1 if the search word is not found.

    Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of meaning at all.

    At first I want to Hide/Show all objects that have a specific word in their name.

    But then I want to be able to Hide/show only the object containing the specific word that is currently showing:

    Exemple:

    I have 3 objects on the scene, collection 2 is selected so I have:

    • Ball1 (hidden)
    • Ball2 (showing)
    • Ball3 (hidden)

    I want to be able memorise which ball is currently showing, then hide it by clicking on a HTLM button, then show it by clicking again.

    Then I select collection 3 and I have:

    • Ball1 (hidden)
    • Ball2 (hidden)
    • Ball3 (showing)

    So when I click on the HTML button, I want to hide/show Ball3

    I hope that make sense.

    Cheers, thanks for your help!

    Use variables, conditions, loops, logic and the browser’s console log (F12). They are the basis )))


    Finds and hides all meshes with names containing “cube”.

    This little piece of JS code will do the same
