Simple Question Simple Answer

[DerNeueMensch]

This shall be a thread for simple questions with simple answers.

 

Here are two really stupid of mine:

 

1. Is there a way to cancel the select object/select target command. I clicked on select target, but it was already defined, so I don't need it anymore but now my cursor is stuck; it has gone to the select target cursor and I can not go back to the normal mouse cursor to spawn objects and so on - is the only thing to make it disappear to define a target / or object  - or is there an other way (happened a few times now and it's really annoying)?

 

2. Is there a step back command hidden somewhere?

Try hitting escape to go back to the regular mouse cursor. Is that what you mean?

There is no "step back" (or "undo") command for the editor. You'll need to save your mission regularly if you want to minimize your work when you need to step back.

Thanks, guys! As I said stupid questions, but what can you do. I have worked for several hours in the editor and albeit having tried various other key-commands to cancel/deselect I know from other programs, I didn't try the most obvious ESC-key.

Not a stupid question at all. I had the same problem for well over a day the first time I used the editor.

In several places in the editor manual, I added a note about using the ESC key to change your cursor back to normal. That should save future mission builders from the frustration.
