"(true)" is the workaround, but to counter Mikero's tools we must support numbers as well.

• Provide any other details you wish to mention

If you click multiple positions for the artillery vehicle to fire at, they will only fire at the last clicked position. It should instead queue the positions and fire when it has finished the previous round.

Issue here: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T116708

Work Around:

1. Place the map control at the bottom of the attributes config
2. Avoid combo boxes above it
3. Provide the fixed attribute width/height to avoid map getting cut off and scrolling issues

• 2D Vector
• Marker Color Combo
• Color Slider
• Side Selector (single or multiple)
• Number Edit

Gonna need to implement a level system to the context menus to accurately track parents and children. For now it's adequate.

The following commands should be implemented via a right-click context menu over a group or unit in 3D space.

• Manual Commands
  • Fleeing
  • Charging (suicide bombers)
  • Ambient animations
  • Force suppress position
  • Force clear building

Prioritizing icon selection over LIS should fix this.

• Identifiers
• Window size
• Label and field ratios
• Loading from missionConfigFile

This is the system that will manage UI's for either specific object classes or generic dialogs. It is dynamically created by traversing through the given attributes class and creating its controls inside the parent window. God help us all.

This is noticeable when trying to select air vehicles that are in the sky since there is no valid position in the sky. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzy_oXqKOE8

Not sure how Zeus does it, but maybe drawIcon isn't the best thing to use. Local markers could be better, especially for selecting entities on the map.

Context line works, unsure if the action is called but I'm pretty it is since every other context option works. Just doesn't fire the artillery.

Title says it all.

It would be nice to have an easy-to-use UI framework that handles both functionality and design formats automatically. Something similar to Ares' dynamic dialogs.

The Orbit command doesn't work because its children aren't having their actions set correctly.

Localisation needs to be added to as many things as possible. In particular, context menus, menu strip items, attributes and toolbar.

• On confirm, create marker
• Show to X side(s) option
• Ability to select marker in 2D space
• Ability to select marker in 3D space
• Edit markers
• Draw markers in editor

When using a lot more mods such as RHS, HLC etc. the CfgVehicles can get really big and currently the asset browser code is running far too slow for it to be acceptable. Currently it loops all vehicles types and for every vehicle type it loops all vehicle classes, which is not the correct way to do it.

If the player's position is changed postInit then you can end up with a starting camera position somewhere the player isn't expecting. Ideally the camera should start at the player position when first opening the editor, and then if the player closes and re-opens the editor, use the last saved camera position.

• Virtual Groups
• Static Cache

When doing setPos and setDir globally on every frame it causes a lot of lag when the targeted object is not local. There needs to be a function that allows you to pass in an object class name and for it to then draw the bounding box while you move/rotate the object, and then once the change is finished, apply them to the object and remove the bounding box.

• Movement
• Direction
• Altitude

This also needs the AFUNC macro to be renamed to UIFUNC or UFUNC.
Reason for this change is to be able to release the UI framework as a standalone mod, and "attributes" is pretty vague when it comes to UI.

• Customisable settings for editor
  • Camera FOV
  • Camera Speed
  • Speed in buildings
  • Icon hover scale
  • Icon draw distance
• Asset Browser
  • Search
  • Expand/Collapse All

Probably another wonderful feature of Mikero's tools, changing config values just for keks.

This is perhaps because the object doesn't have an icon in its config, or the icon serializer isn't picking it up. This also affects the marquee selection tool as it only selects objects if their icon is inside the box.

• Ungarrison - or just make sure every other command calls some ungarrison code automatically
• Changing unit stance
• Right-click group icon for group specific commands like formation, speed etc.

Need a way of registering custom event handlers in Mars so that other components can do things like:

["EditorOpen", {
    systemChat str _this;
}] call EFUNC(common,addEventHandler);

No idea what's going on here, it's just being a stupid heap of shit.

Not a major issue, so definitely not something I'm going to let hold up a release - but this is annoying and if you're doing some naval stuff in a mission, it's currently not possible.

Sometimes you can accidentally change the direction of an object when making very small adjustments.

This causes the top of the AB to be cut off. Needs to not be scrollable.
