In game UI panel

[babooncodes]

When rotating the object, while placing, the window should open itself and automatically close when object is placed?

• [x] HUD button
• [ ] Window
• [ ] Detect mode: Built in (using space with snapping options etc) or Gizmo
• [ ] Design and implement window content with automatic mode switching based on user input (hotkey?)
• [ ] Third mode - Pivot editing, right there?

@MrUnit64 @Distantz read up, need opinion

[Distantz]

Maybe hide it behind a keypress? (eg, r)

[babooncodes]

Ok so, we must have hotkeys

1. global toggle
2. mode toggle (space/gizmo) The toggling should be seamless in all stages, placing deco, selecting and moving deco, should behave the same. The window on screen should act as indicator that RA is active, no panel - use default game behavior. For that we must design controller that switches the behavior.

[Distantz]

perhaps we could add a mode that adds more snaps to the default game behavior? ie 45 degree incriments

[babooncodes]

That is the 1st mode.

You can change the snap angle in settings already, its not limited, but its there only for developers for now.

Making the window open or not automatically could be an option that is enabled in the settings menu.

I am a big fan of hotkeys, the window should at least be mapped to a key like all other menu's. At the same time there should be the least amount of hotkeys as possible. For now we need at least 3 hotkeys extending on Baboons list:

1. Global / local toggle
2. Mode toggle (space/gizmo)
3. Opening the ingame ui panel/window

I'd like to add a toggle for changing the pivot point too, but maybe this can be added to one of the toggles we want to implement already as third option or as UI element.

[Distantz]

I think changing the pivot point would be quite finicky.

For the hotkeys, (Y, U, I, O) are all unused at least to my knowledge.
