'Lock' Trigger Zones against accidental movement


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm using lots of trigger zones in my missions - they are really helpful and an important tool. 

I'm running into a small GUI issue with them that perhaps is relatively insignificant, but can become a real chore if you work in an environment where there is no "Undo" - accidentally moving a trigger zone. This is a likely event because usually, (at least for me), Trigger Zones are usually in close proximity to units. It only requires one unlucky click, and a carefully placed trigger zone becomes a fountain of frustration. One possible mitigation is setting the zone's 'Hidden' flag - but if I do that I lose everything that makes Trigger Zones so great: their visual representation of the area that they affect.

I propose a second option next to the option to hide it: a 'Location Lock' option. When set, you can still click on a trigger zone, and change its settings (color, size, shape etc). But you can no longer move it around by click-dragging it. All this does is prevent the Trigger Zone from inadvertently being moved, nothing else. It still can be selected and edited (i.e. it remains visible and can be changed).
