[2.0.13] Space platform foundation not placeable befor unpausing once in editor mode.

Post by laku »

Hey,
  1. Start a new(!) game.
  2. Use the editor via /editor.
  3. Create a space platform.
  4. Try to place space platform foundation.
One can only place the first 10 foundations. After this only blueprints.
You need to unpause the game once to be able to place it and not just create a blueprint.
Furthermore, these blueprints will not automatically be build after unpausing.

I know this is very minor, but I suppose it is still counts as a bug.

Thanks :)

Thanks for the report however I can't reproduce any issue. Could you maybe record a video of the issue?

Hope that helps.
Please let me know if it is still unclear what I am trying to say.
Please let also me know if it is not a bug and I am just misunderstanding how its supposed to work.

Ah, i see. You are in remote view in the map editor and are simply placing ghost tiles. Because the game is paused the platform won't build them as it normally does regardless of map editor existing. When you un-pause the platform does what it normally does and tries to build ghosts on the platform. It starts with 10 tiles and so can build 10 tiles. None of this is a bug. If you physically switch to that surface in the editor you can build/remove/do what you like as the editor.

Now, i see :D
So you are saying:
Because i am in remote view i am using the space platform hubs inventory rather then the players inventory. Only after leaving remote view the player teleports to the platform and can then place/build anything freely.

Thanks for clarifying it tho.
