Right click disables removal

Post by GoneWacko »

Hmm I had this simple idea.

Is it possible to make the right click button disable the remove function?
(the button with the bulldozer on it)

I've been a nerd and i've made a gif animation that should make clear how it would work...

(I was planning to do a flash animation, but my flash has somehow removed the tool selection part of the GUI :/ Don't know how to get it back...)

The explaining text is UNDER the screenshots :)
It'll loop so if it's not clear the first time, look again :P

Very good suggestion (whether you are a nerd or not).

Right click is already used for moving around...

yes, and with morehotkeys there is already a key for toggle the removebutton
but because no one every written a keyboard layout for their language it's very very ugly to work with it. :evil:
When Josef comes back I will talk to him to remake a extra file like in my first alpha of morehotkeys so everbody can use a seperate Keylayout (downloadable) without binding it to the TTD version...

Currently you could change it via mkpttxt.exe and give the second last a accessable key...

The right click is for moving around, yes, but it definately has other functions... For example, when you have red warning messages (can't build here, etc), they will dissappear with a RC...

As I already said, there is with morehotkeys already a keybinding to the button. So use a key you everlike on your keyboard

You can unselect the bulldozer by hitting the [Esc] key. Actually this unselects everything. You want to just unselect the bulldozer, but still be selected the piece of track you had?
