Static object linkage non-functional with copy/paste

[Xoho]

When copy and then pasting a unit that has been linked, while the dropdown box still displays the new unit as being linked, any attempt to move or rotate the unit will result in it teleporting to the center of the carrier, and it will return to the center until you re-link it to the carrier. This noticeably increases the time it takes for mission creation, especially as the number of static objects increases. See attached video for details.

 

 

Page 81 of the Supercarrier manual states: "You may find it helpful to add additional objects by copying and pasting an object that is already linked to the carrier, so you do not have to perform this step every time. You may do this by selecting the object, CTRL+C to copy, then CTRL+V to paste."

For now, unlink the object you wish to copy, make the copy, then link it back.

 

When you paste the new one, position it where you like, and link it, you can continue to move it freely without having to remove the link.
