Deleting Objects?

by Joshua Brown · in Torque Game Engine · 05/30/2008 (2:57 pm) · 8 replies

Ok, so I'm a little embarrased at the simplicity of my question... but I just started developing on the mac platform. And for the life of me... I cannot get the delete button to delete. I select and object and press delete, nothing. Now, I know I can just go into the menu and click the delete option, but in GUI editor this option is not available. Also, what are the shortcuts for save/copy/paste? Because I havn't been able to get those to work either.

Yeah. I'm using iMac and the delete on the main keyboard doesn't work. but the other delete to the left of end and below fn works.

Ok, well I'm on a laptop so I don't have all those keen options. I'm actually having to... not use Torque because of my issues. Any ideas?

In creator/editor/EditorGui.cs change the line:

EditorMenuBar.addMenuItem("World", "Delete Selection", 17, "Delete");

to

EditorMenuBar.addMenuItem("World", "Delete Selection", 17, "Backspace");

Hey that does it! Now all we need is for SOMEONE to release a mac optimized EditorGui.cs file... hmmm... Maybe I'll look into it.

What else would you like to see done? I don't use the world editor much right now but have been working a lot on gui stuff (making an AI Editor) so I'm sure I could knock one out real quick if I knew what bugs there were...

Well, I suppose just make it more mac friendly in general. For instance, I cannot use cmd-c or v. And there may be others that I haven't noticed or remembered.

I've got F-keys occupied with all sorts of useful system things, like volume and widgets. There really should be a hotkey settings menu for the users to choose the editor hotkeys.

Ah yes, I forgot about that, I ended up re-assigning some function keys.... and I reverted them back to the way I had it. I just use them too much to change them for Torque.
