Middle click sometimes not working for build gun

Open vyachesIavskiy opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

With update 3 Middle Click was added to mimic a building with build gun. The same funcitonality is added to the mod. Seems like they conflict with each other since when I press F to dismantle and Middle Click on something it will not always select a building to build

This happens because AA pipette doesn't use the building's builtWithRecipe field, but instead looks for the building in the buildings list. Whereas vanilla pipette needs that field, which Area Actions cannot yet set, so if you use vanilla pipette on a building created by AA it won't work

Do you anticipate the fix for this being able to be applied to previously copy/pasted buildings, or do we expect them to be un-pipetteable and non-refundable in perpetuity once they've been placed? Unless there's a known workaround to fix them already?

I plan on fixing existing buildings. And workaround... I suppose you could set the mBuiltWithRecipe field with a save editor, but it would be a lot of work to set it for all buildings by hand, when you can just use AA's pipette which works on them

How do you switch between AA's pipette and vanilla pipette?

The game's eyedropper is middle click from dismantle mode or while placing a building. AA's eyedropper is middle click while having AA equipped, and no menu open. So you dont have to switch anything, it's just where you middle click from

And yes, I found out that the term is eyedropper not pipette after some months
