Title: Selection/De-Selection Help
Post by: Systematic on April 19, 2010, 06:37:55 pm
This is embarassing, but it seems I have forgotten how to de-select a marked and/or selected ship. Every time I try to move or edit say, Orion 2, I end up moving/editing Orion 3. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!!! Because said ship isn't de-selected, every time I try to create a new object, I just end up doing nothing, or I end up opening up the ship editor! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

check the tutorial/faq that comes with FRED, Help -> Help Topics.

another thing... check you don't have the lock selection activated (default key : spacebar ) or that you have your input as "rotation" or "select" instead of "select and move" (top left)

edit: wrong side.

Never mind! It turns out that my problem was caused by the fact that I was trying to spawn certain objects too close to each other (basically spawning one object into another). My bad! Heh heh heh..... :ha: :P :P :eek: :p :cool: :(
