add lock/unlock actor from actor control
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 4:53 pmit would be nice if you could lock and unlock your actor from the ACTOR CONTROL menu,
sometimes you are un able to effectivly select your actor even if you use the Ctrl + mouse click mouse combo, this is ESPECCIALY difficult when you have a WIRE FRAME actor that is 4 layres behind your top z depth actor, and specialy because in order to select a wire fram actor you must select the exact green pixle that shows...
i hope i explained myself well enough if not heres an example
create a wire frame actor woith a z depth of almost zero
create a few filled reigon actors with amost 100%
layer them on top of eachother, with the wire frame reigon smaller then the filled reigons,
then try to lock and unlock the wire frame reigon... its very difficult to know which actor you have selected you might THINK you have the wire frame selected, but instead you have other actors selected[code][/code]
