@Daspex

This is what I was looking for! Thank You
I will definitely have to check out the room and browse your script files to see exactly what's going on

The Models Mesh script and textures Custom.RoomObjects.....Luder\Room
This is a common location can be shared by all rooms
Default position and rotation set by mesh script is "0" 

Room script that need to be modified
REQUIRED
AcRoom.bs AppImport: Import The Models Mesh script into the room
Update.lua: Inject the new Position and Rotation coordinates.

Not Required but Important
DcDress_R9ZRoom248: This is the Room Objects script allows you to show and hide Objects
and of course the ActiveMod script

This layout or something similar is what I'll use going forward

Try putting the modded lines for the Backdrop Room switches tab in a separate addon so the switches will always load regardless of room.

That would be a big step toward a Universal Room Objects mod that lets users add objects to any room.

 
A Universal Room Objects Mod was my ultimate goal and why I hesitated posting the stripclub. I felt like the project wasn't finished
I have a good basic understanding of how everything works but I am flying by the seat of my pants most of the time
This is what I needed, feedback, some fresh ideas

" Try putting the modded lines for the Backdrop Room switches tab in a separate addon so the switches will always load regardless of room. "
I'm not sure what you're getting at here but with the new Dress Cmd  from Daspex I can make this work

To select from A list of all 3d models, objects, etc.... available to all rooms would require a tab of it's own with it's own Functions
You would have to manipulate position and rotation for these objects the same way as Toys. That's beyond my capabilities.

My focus is on Static Models and most of the time you're only going to need a handful not an audience
Models and Objects can be called from a single common location , this avoids "Content Overload"
Individual room scripts will have to be modified to import objects
Room objects tab, show and hide these objects and select from several preset locations in the room
This I can do "I hope".
Once the room is set up just go to the Room Objects tab and select a model and location

[The End]

I haven't looked at Daspex's code that closely, but I was describing how you added a custom tab to the Customizer GUI by modding the Backdrop room, and putting that bit of code in a separate addon so users wouldn't need a modded room.

"Wildcards" aren't an option, but your addon could read the room ID from a simple .ini file that anyone could distribute with their room (maybe like AM LevDefs). Start by just hard-coding the stock room ID (you wouldn't need to dupe the code for every room. Just put the Room IDs in a list/array/etc and make it a variable... one you could change just by reading an .ini file.)

Definitely not the way to go. You'd have to update the list every time someone created a new model.

Consider the way Pervo loaded objects then read the position & rotation of each object from a LevDef file. Trying to manipulate every object from a control would be really cool but would require an absurd amount of work on your end.

That "Custom Tab" you mentioned is the Room Options Tab I keep referring to. It is available in all rooms
I just added this script file to activate it "Scripts\Dress\DcDress_R9ZRoom248.lua"
It could easily be modified to work in another room
The Room Objects script has always given me fits.
I am trying to add the position and rotation settings to the Room Options script
I haven't had much luck

The code Daspex posted was from his rooms Room Options script

[daspex]

Ill try to find some simple example later on.

Are you trying to calculate object rotation on your own?  

There MUST be some code out in the wild to calculate this that you could translate.

I know what you mean about "breadcrumbs". When I wrote my Voiceset installer, I discovered that you could only link sounds to toys for which you already knew the ID "name" (not number), making it impossible to link sounds to Addon toys from a Custom Voice (Marburg found a way to embed custom sounds in the Addon itself, but ran into a lot of problems... just like you are.

Its easy to do.Look into my chainsaw and FX car toy to see how it is done.

The Code Example Daspex posted helped but that wasn't the real problem
I was trying to work from a Common Database available to all rooms
To control Imported objects from the RoomObjects Tab they must be Room Specific

I deleted this block of code from the mesh script
TTransform :local_1 . {
TNode.SNode STransform :local_2;
Object.Name "Luder/Room/R9ZRoom208/R9ZRoom208.ma";
};
RenderShader :local_MATERIAL RenderShader.Surface ShaderPhong :local_PHONG;
ShaderPhong :local_PHONG ShaderPhong.Material RenderMaterial :local_PHONGMAT;
RenderMaterial :local_PHONGMAT

Links the object to the room

Solved: Can set location from Room Objects Tab
I CAN NOT work from a common database

[daspex]

Btw. If you want the audience to be able to have cloth to switch on and off,dont convert the original mesh into a single one.
Instead,put the mesh parts into an empty object as parent.You can then switch off the parent via room options but also you can switch clothing parts on or off if the parent is visible.(Just a thaught.)
