Text+ tool can't be filtered by GetToolList

PostSun May 22, 2016 9:18 pm

Hi I'm trying to use comp.GetToolList() to select Text+ tools in the comp but is not working at all. I would assume the code would be comp.GetToolList(False,"Text+"), but it's return an empty tuple. Can anyone please help? Thanks!

It's "TextPlus"

Thanks Chad, I kind of figured it out through the tool reference menu, still felt weird about it, because it's not talked in the scripting guide and even in the print out in console it's referred to as Text+.

If in doubt, you can always get an overview on any tool's attributes
by selecting the tool in the flow and in the console typing:

Code: Select all
== comp:GetToolList(true)[1]:GetAttrs()
