Feature request : unclickable objects

[Cham]

There's a very important option that addons creators need in the SSC declarations : an unclickable command.

Suppose I want to show some object in Celestia (a 3D label, say), but don't want the user to be able to select it by clicking on it (or else, it could be very obstrusive). By default, all objects defined in an SSC file are clickable. For an unclickable object, the command line to add to the SSC could be

Code: Select all

Clickable false

That way, I could solve lots of technical problems in addons creation and it should make life a lot easier for the users.

I agree with that, very useful. A good example I see would be with the Smaller_sun addon by Runar Thorvaldsen, which I find very beautiful - but difficult to work with because it prevents right-clicking on Sol itself (to access the objects list).

LordFerret,
That particular problem will be fixed in the next version, it is fixable.

But:
i agree that an unclickable declaration would be most useful. Particularily if we also got an "invisible" orbit color to go with it - we already have an invisible object type, but in the cases Cham refers to, the object needs to be visible but inaccessible.
