EHT lets me select fx as item on pts but not in the actual game

Vara

I was on pts and I could select multiple fx and make builds with them using my select/deselect hotkey but in the real game it says target an item when I try to select an fx. Does anyone know if this is intentional or if this a bug?

Works fine for me on live. I have no slightest clue what can cause that. I would check other addons by comparing live/pts versions. Maybe something in your settings? As I said, I'm playing a guessing game here.

In the meantime you can always select the FX using its edition window, it will be added to your current EHT selection.





Hope this helps.

You are the best !! I still can't select with the hotkey but the select button does work on the fx itself and I can select multiple fx

Make sure that you are in Housing Editor mode too before selecting FX with the hot key. Also make sure that you are targeting the paint bucket icon when you press the hot key.

Another thing you can do is open the main EHT window’s select tab, change the View: drop down to All Items A-Z, and just check each FX or item that you want to select.

Happy to help. Clone and Select buttons are super handy when building with the same FX, just go clone - select as many times as you need, then go to builds and unleash your creativity.

While this is entirely true, I always find this one a little bit tricky, same as using "select all FX" from the drop down menu "selection mode". EHT does not show the distance to the object in the main selection window, while the FX menu ("placed" tab) does - this makes it easier to work with bigger numbers of cloned or copy pasted FX, especially if you assign them to groups (groups are visible in the "placed" tab). Left clicking on an FX listed in "placed" tab will open its editing window (only because it's better to mention it, just in case).

Imho, it's all down to numbers - if you work with just a few funishings/FX of the same type it doesn't matter how you select. With bigger numbers of the same furniture/FX selecting manually with your hotkey/placed tab makes much more sense. Yes, you can lock the items, but with bigger numbers it will seriously limit what you see on screen while in editing mode.

So if you're this kind of a crazy person... yep, manual selection and "single item" selection mode

Very good to know ! I was wondering because I couldn't select all the same anymore either... You have some amazing builds !!! Whatever your working on in that last pic looks super cool. Tron ftw
