Post A suggestion/question about building.
Well here goes.

My suggestion/question is that is it possible to flip the building parts instead of having to find another part that is pre-flipped?

Also suggestions:

1. Make it possible to CTRL - Z (undo button), if you have the time ofcourse :D
2. Make it possible to simply delete things, with like a brush or something similar.
3. Make it possible to flip or turn actors left or right.
4. Make it possible to make actors spawn with guns instead of preplacing them infront of them which may kill them due to collision (though this happens rarely)

No.

Try putting another module over the one you don't want. works wonders. And if you didn't want anything there, that's just an excuse to put metal blocks there.

Stupid idea, that would make it possible to destroy the entire map. Don't you know bunker modules are placeable terrain?

Have you tried clicking and dragging in the direction you want them to face?

In map editor, place the actor. Then go to the ini that your custom map is in. Look for the actor, and type in this code:
Code:
AddInventory = (put in HDFirearm for a gun or tool, TDExplosive for a bomb or HeldDevice for a shield)
CopyOf = (Gun/Bomb/Shield here)

Repeat as necessary.

About the fourth one.

I meant when you're building a base and you're placing guards, and a feature would let you spawn them with a weapon in their hand.

Make a .ini file in the .rte the soldier AND ITEM you want is in. Type this code:
Code:
AddActor = (Ahuman for 2 legged, ACrab for 4 legged)
CopyOf = (Name of Actor here)
InstanceName = (Type the name you want here)
AddInventory = (See the fix I gave earlier for an explanation)
CopyOf = (See above line)

Then drop the soldier into battle.

Plus that's on Data's to do list, and will probably be in the next build.

The various other features aren't really possible without some rewiring of the way the bunker system works.

No.

Let's see, you choose a coalition soldier, a menu could pop up and you can choose which weapon he will hold when you spawn him.

Data's going to make it so you just drop the weapon you want from the list on top of them, much more efficient than a menu where you pick and choose the weapon you want for each trooper.

But you see, this way you can do it now, thus making it a useful suggestion that makes it so that you don't have to wait until B23 to do... Which generally illicits thankfulness as opposed to scorn...

This only lets the soldier spawn with one type of a weapon.

I want to spawn multiple soldiers with different weapons.

The point is you either take the method or wait until B23 before playing CC again. Your choice.
