Ability to type values

14.0k ElijtheGeat  8.8 years ago

I understand that there are ways to do it, but I think there should be an easier way to type in number values for sizes and angles. For example, instead of clicking that arrow button to change the length of a fuselage block by .25 units you should be able to click on the little box displaying the number and type in a number which could go to the tenths place (so like, 4.4 or 0.1, and just give you an error message if you type in a number larger than 5 or less than 0 ( i.e. "The number you have selected is not within the allowed range. Please reenter a number greater than 0 and less than 5."). And if a number with a decimal further than the tenths place is entered a similar error message could pop up.). You could use this ability to change the size, range and run of fuselage blocks, wing dihedral, and I'm sure it could be applied in several other areas. Thanks Dev's, y'all are the best.

    I would set 50 or 100 as upper limit to allow for the weirdest creations. :D

    Wouldn't it be nice to remove the cap on 5 though? Maybe make it 10 or 15 wide and 30 long as the caps?

    Actually, I plan on applying something like that into a mod(though at first it will be just for rotation), and have text fields which can accept... quite a few values. Though, it will be a few weeks from now(~2 weekends) when I start on that, once I get my dad's computer(which I'll get once his new computer is built and shipped to him.)
