[0.17.32] Copy tool skips non-seen chunks when copying from map view

Post by Mathematician »

I used copy tool in my map view. Some of the chunks in copy area were not covered by any radar (nor visible by player).

All the stuff inside non visible area did not get copied into clipboard.

Expected copy tool to copy all buildings, even those not in visible area.

In normal mode (not map view) it works as expected.
When player starts draging copy area and releases it far enough so some chunks are not covered by any - i.e. player's - radar then buildings in non visible area get copied.

Some people say math is useless in life. I say life is useless in math.

This is intended, we specifically check if the chunks are visible when blueprinting
