[pcc] copy/paste options for actions/objectives/events

Jul 30, 2023 Luxen link
On the off-chance this isn't already in the big board of sticky notes (or however one best tracks future content ideas), could we get copy and paste features for the mission editor so we don't have to manually recreate the same event over and over? I imagine this like [copy] and [paste] options next to the [delete] and [move up/down] options already in place. It would take a LOT of the tedium out of mission building...

Still haven't figured out the damn thing, do we have example missions I can load to get a hang of the general structure so stuff doesn't break?

If a couple of the more complex missions could be posted as a template with tiny explanations as to why some stuff is done a certain way to avoid creating conflicts that crash the server it would go a long way to make the whole thing more accessible to PCC members who haven't gotten around to figuring it out.

That'd be a great feature, i don't make missions anymore but back in my day mr_spuck used to make a custom mission editor in TCL and it had copy/paste and it made complex missions less of a........complete nuisance...to make.

This is not the "while you're at it" forum. We're supposed to be avoiding going off onto separate topics, specifically to keep threads like this from being about "everything".

There are threads and stickies on the PCC Forums that answer your question, Spidey. I know the documentation around the editor is scattered and inelegant, but in terms of examples, there are lots.

could we get copy and paste features for the mission editor so we don't have to manually recreate the same event over and over?

I agree, this would be helpful.
