Default Some colour or sign for lift flag - 15-07-2004

All flags placed at WP's from WP Menu You can see and recognize from long distance when You are in WP editor, but I don't see any sign or different colour for "lift" flag. Maybe it's possible to add something like this for "use_button" but for example in yellow colour? What do the waypointers think about this?

PRO:
-All flags are visualized, why not this one, too?

CONTRA:
-I will have to update the documents again... *grmbl*

QUESTION: What will happen if a waypointer accidentally sets a lift flag where it doesn't belong? Nothing, I suppose?



Roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF // all my base, are belong to you.

Hm, I see. Yes, that would make sense. After all, they are supposed to stand still in an elevator cabin until they have reached the corresponding WP on the other level.
Ok, this also means that accidentally flagging a normal waypoint somewhere in the street as a lift will cause problems, or at least inconveniences.
Bearing this in mind, the lift flag should be visualized somehow indeed. There are basically 2 options to choose from:
a) yet another waypoint colour (inappropriate IMHO, as the lift flag doesn't change the waypoint type and had better not do so. On the other hand, what are the odds that you will place a team-specific or camp WP in an elevator cabin? Rescue, goal and ladder don't make sense in the first place)
b) some little cross on a waypoint, like nohostage and button flags. Yes, maybe something orange, yellow (could be bad to see), magenta or purple? How about magenta, just like ladder WPs? You'll never use a lift flag on a ladder WP (unless you are either nuts or a moron or both), and the colour is already used and seems to work ok in terms of visibility.



Roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF // all my base, are belong to you.

Lets create and show sprites for everything!
That would be the best way to visually show everything!

yes a pink cross would be nice for lift flags.

also could a menu comand be added fin the next release

Remove All Paths. --bascially removes all paths to n from the current wp

(good for doing lifts ) rather than having to remove connections that have one through thin walls where you cant point at being at the current wp (ie the lift in cs1701e--tell me if you want a screen shot of this not so big problem)
