[1.1.0] Better handling of map tag permissions

Post by PFQNiet »

As part of a mod I'm making, the ability to tag the map is disabled (via the permissions system). However the shiny new "place tag" button still pops up all the UI for creating a tag, and then puts it in your cursor for placement... and then vanishes without any feedback when "placed" because the permission forbids it.

It would be nice if the "place tag" button were disabled if the permission to place map tags is also disabled.

Alternatively I can mosey over to Modding Interface Requests to have some way of detecting that the user is trying to place a tag (ie. clicked the button to start the process). Or I can work around this by letting the player place it, only to immediately delete it and provide feedback myself.

I’m not sure, but this sounds more like a modding problem. I would first discuss, what’s the best solution.
