Mechanism link filters.
« on: February 22, 2009, 08:48:39 am »

Three-fold:

-Filter on Linked: This functionality filters out devices that have already been linked somewhere when linking an object to a lever.

-Show on Linked: This functionality displays a cue to show that a device has already been linked with a mechanism.

-Mass-designation: Draw a square with the cursor to link multiple objects to a mechanism without having to select them all individually.


Reason?  My fort's plans include the use of about 400 drawbridges.

Filter on linked should show whether an object is linked, but not exclude it. Sometimes you might want to be able to trigger actions from two or more places.

That's why I suggest Show on Link on top of that.

Ah, as an option to show it either way then, ok.
