| Summary | 0005714: Improve selection projection: Allow "floor selection" to work in all axes, support camera projection if possible | ||||
| Description | The "floor selection" button is a very useful tool for mappers, allowing entities to be automatically aligned to the ground below them. It would be much more helpful still if it could be used in all directions, allowing us to align items not just to the floor but also walls and the ceiling in the same way. Could "floor selection" be converted into a "project selection" with 6 buttons (+ and - for X / Y / Z)? In addition I wanted to include my suggestion to project in the camera's direction: It would be very helpful if mappers could use the 3D view to simply look at the point they want the selection to appear, clicking to teleport it there in alignment with the surfaces it bumps against when "thrown" from the camera. This would save mappers a lot of time wasted on finding and dragging each item they spawn in the 2D views for positioning, bound to make the mapping process a lot faster for creators. We could even make it so holding the modifier key allows for continuous projection like a virtual laser pointer: As you look around around in mouselook you move the item across the floor and walls till you find the proper spot and disengage! I know this would be a bit harder to do but I hope the team can consider it. Example: Spawn a desk anywhere from a 2D view. Rotate it accordingly. Now just look at the wall where you want it to appear and control + click to have it moved to the spot the crosshair is pointing at. In one go you have it where you want, sitting on the floor and against the wall (walls if it's a corner) without needing further adjustment in the orthoview. | ||||
