[Feature]: Ability to see radius while paused #451

Open Zamiell opened 4 months ago

Description

This mod provides the ability to see the radius of scarecrows and sprinklers, which is extremely handy! The radius appears when 1) your cursor is holding the scarecrow/sprinkler, and 2) the game is unpaused. However, both of these conditions are problematic:

Thus, for these two reasons, I propose that there should be some kind of new UI feature. It could be accomplished in multiple ways, so let's brainstorm what would be best!

My initial idea is to have a new keybind (that can be created with e.g. GenericModConfigMenu) that toggles showing radiuses. Once toggled, the radiuses would show even if the game is paused. That way, it could be combined with the excellent Zoom Level mod so that you could browse your entire farm while the game is paused. (The Zoom Level mod also optionally hide the inventory screen so that you can see everything more clearly.)

If this idea is implemented, I would recommend having individual hotkeys for both scarecrows and sprinklers, so that way you could narrow down on the very specific thing that you want.

This is a great idea! I've also thought about this, since it's kind of annoying to have to go grab a sprinkler to check the sprinklers. I'll find a way to get it in :)
