Allow custom tools to get selected tiles and entities

[d3x0r]

Reported originally as a bug because blueprint appears to do the same thing, until you get into the edit screen and can check 'tiles' selection...

with a custom select tool even with selection_mode = {"buildable-type","items-to-place","tiles","blueprint"},

I'm not getting tiles and entities; unless the tiles happen to be ghost tiles.

You can use the "always_include_tiles" prototype flag to as the name suggests: always include tiles.

no such flag...

any-tile includes ground tiles which I don't really want... would be harmless other than it looks bad on selection

It's not a selection tool flag. It's a property:

Code: Select all

{
type="...",
name="...",
always_include_tiles = true
}
