Helper Maker
Creates a new Helper from a template object.
Same as Primitive Maker, but for helpers.
Use Helper def Wirecolor option: when checked, all helpers of the new type will use the default color for helpers as specified in the Customize User Interface dialog. Otherwise, each helper object's wirecolor can be changed through the color swatch.
v. 1.1: fixed a major bug that prevented cloning correctly (thanks to gramx for finding it).

In fact helpers (extending the dummy helper) are meshes whose faces are not displayed. Not splines (as I thought before writting this script).
This script does the same thing than the Primitive Maker, except that it uses only verts, faces and edge visibility.
So if you use a shape as template, it uses its 'geometry version' (look at the Primive Maker entry, I explain it at the top).
If you look at a dummy, you'll notice that you don't see the edges on the opposite faces. It's like a display in wireframe with backface cull on.
About an 'always draw on top' option, I agree completely! I've been looking for that but didn't find anything. Maybe because the helper plugin created extends the dummy class.
I've been meaning to try to extend the point helper instead but haven't found the time yet.
I'll do it as soon as I can.
Something to Add
It would be cool to have the option of "Always Draw Ontop"

Doesn't create properly
I was hoping this would create an actual helper object with lines like the Dummy Object does. I used splines to create it but when it converted it to a helper object through you script it took the rendered geometry and made it cylindrical. I want it to be thickness of a non-renderable spline. Same as the dummy object.
check it out.
Great script Garp. Thanks!
