Combining a cheat with the F1 list

[anthony2323]

I'm not really sure if I should of put this on mantis so I decided to put it here instead.

If you guys were ever planning on putting in some sort of "ship list" to spawn in anything or to test stuff, here is an idea:
You know that cheat that changes how you build ships into the "click and place" type? If you could somehow link that cheat with the F1 list would it work or is it possible?

(Sorry if this is in the wrong place).

Welcome to the forums

It's theoretically possible to let you build anything from the ship list in a cheat mode, but it would take quite a bit of effort to get the UI and logic to work correctly.  Way more work than I generally want to put towards cheats instead of working on the game itself.

But yea, that would be a good way to do it if we were to put the effort in

Thanks for the almost instant reply! But yea that's all I needed to know, thanks.

So you couldn't set it up to allow you to just click on a ship from the F1 menu and be able to place it as if it were build mode easily?

Correct, way too many places I'd have to mess with the code for that to be easy.  Probably only a few hours, but often I only have a few hours to work on the game in a given week that isn't part of a major AIW-focused time.
