Right click using build track

Post by RT »

When laying track, would it be hard to make it so that it can remove the
same shape track if the user wanted it to instead of clicking on bulldoze
then the track shape then the track, a simple right click would be so
helpfull. I know that at the moment it gets rid of error messages which is
fine, i like that, but couldnt this idea also be incoroprated in the right
mouse button???

It also scrolls the screen, don't forget that. I doubt this idea would
work very well, sorry.

However, if you have any recent-ish version of TTDPatch, you can just hit
the key to the left of the "1", usually "~", to toggle the bulldozer while
keeping the current track selected. The other hotkeys are very helpful
too, usually I have one hand on the mouse and one near the hotkeys, that
makes for very fast construction.
