Disabling Gizmos when a node is selected in the editor (@tool)

Hello so I’m curious if you can remove the Gizmo’s Here! they control the position, rotation, and scale.

I want it to hide these when selected in the editor.

like this

I also would like it, if you could stop other nodes from being selected while this node is selected. I already have a way to detect if its been selected or not.

if EditorInterface.get_selection().get_selected_nodes().size() == 1:
	if (EditorInterface.get_selection().get_selected_nodes()[0] == self):
		#Code Goes Here

So if this is possible let me know.

Hello!
For anyone in the future with the same issue, One of the things you can do to make a node hide its gizmos is to lock the node! It also makes it so you cant select this node from the viewport, but only from the scene tree.

The closest I could get to getting rid of the ability to select other nodes, was locking all of the nodes that I would interact with, Like this!

if EditorInterface.get_selection().get_selected_nodes().size() == 1:
	if (EditorInterface.get_selection().get_selected_nodes()[0] == self):
		for NodeRef in get_children():
			NodeRef.set_meta("_edit_lock_", true)

But in all honesty it feels quite jank, I hope there’s a better solution.

Okay i found a solution but its not really that code related.

If you lock the node you want to not show movement position and scale gizmos, it doesn’t show up. The issue i wanted to fix was the node selecting other nodes when selected, if you (after the node is locked already) set the control to rotate by pressing E or hitting this button in the viewport.

If there’s a way to set your control type from the script than this could work!
