Tape tool does not work from map view #19

Closed NotRexButCaesar closed 3 years ago

NotRexButCaesar commented 3 years ago

When trying to measure a distance from the map view, no measurement is made.

Any save.zip Select the tape tool, go to the map, and then attempt to use the tool. Username: AmericanPatriot

This is probably because the tape tool is a grenade(why?) and not a selection box.

Duplicate of #3.

As for why it uses grenades, that is the only way to get the "live" position of the mouse when dragging. The original mod used a selection tool, but the utility was greatly reduced because you would have to complete your measurement in order to see the dimensions. Using grenades, the tape can be drawn as you drag, which is infinitely more useful.
