| Summary | 0005700: Entity inspector spawnarg fields not always updated by UI windows such as Model Chooser | ||||
| Description | There are a variety of pop-up UIs that help to set values for spawnargs, such as the colour chooser for "_color" and the model chooser for "model". Clicking "OK" in these UIs sets a new value for the spawnarg on that entity. The problem is that if the UI was accessed from a different entity, the Entity Inspector fails to update the field where mappers can manually enter a value. The mapper might not realise this and unintentionally use the checkmark to apply this outdated value to further entities. It's the same kind of energy as 0005092, where these UIs would apply their values to the entity where the UI was accessed from instead of the currently selected entity. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1) Create 2 models of type barrel01.lwo and place them side by side. 2) Assign spawnarg "_color" "1 1 1" to the left barrel. Click on this spawnarg in the Entity Inspector and open the "Colour" UI. 3) Under "Basic colours", click on a tile with a red pre-made colour and click OK. The left barrel's _color spawnarg is now "1.000 0.000 0.000", and so is the value in the field next to the checkmark where a value can be entered manually. 4) Use Shift + Alt + LMB to switch your selection to the right barrel. 5) Open the "Colour" UI again, click on a tile with a green pre-made colour and click OK. The right barrel's _color spawnarg is now "0.000 1.000 0.000", but the field for manual entry still has the old value of "1.000 0.000 0.000". If the mapper clicks the checkmark to apply the _color spawnarg to further entities, he'd be applying the old, red value. | ||||

In fact, the 'Entity Chooser' doesn't ever seem to update the field for manual entry. Repro is even simpler here: 1) Create a func_static model: barrel01.lwo 2) Select the barrel, click on the "classname" spawnarg in the Entity Inspector and click on "Choose entity class..." 3) Select a different class from the list, i.e. func_fx, and click OK. The selected entity's classname has changed correctly, but the field for manual entry still says "func_static". |
