Title:
Visual error when placing tables/chairs Summary:
When placing tables, then switching to placing chairs, they both overlap in the placement preview
Steps to reproduce:
place stone table
select stone chair
try to place stone chair
Expected Results:
only the chair placement preview should be visible
Actual Results:
chair and table overlap in the preview
Actually no. As long as the table or the chair is not placed, the previews are on each other. But when the chair or the table will be placed, the second will be on the first one.
Tilt me if I’m wrong.
The left instance where the overlap happens is a location where no table is actually placed, the overlapping of chair/table move around with the preview on the mouse. It’s not really possible to see in the screenshot but neither the chair nor the table on the left are “placed”, meaning that if i close the item placement menu, both disappear. (Does this make more sense?)
As soon as i place the chair, the overlapping table disappears and only the (now placed) chair is visible. Also after placing the selected item, the preview displays correctly for the following item to be placed.
If there are still misunderstandings, i can make a video/gif of the situation.
If I summarize : you place the table then the chair on the same spot. This makes the two previews on each other. Then the chair is finally placed and the table overview disappears. Am I good ?
Not quite, i place the right table first, then i select “chair” from the menu and move my mouse around.
on the preview attached on the mouse, i now see chair/table overlapped wherever i move the mouse.
i had the same issue when trying to place items in the world with the place item button (arrow pointing down)
if you stay the place item window and cycle thru the different items to place it seems it merges the previous items graphics with your current selected item.
example select a bed to place int he menu. place a few then go select a lantern you will get a merged item of a bed and an lantern it tries to place
i found reselecting the lantern again removes the bed art and then it works great
Its like a buffer is not cleared when selecting something new in this menu place item menu
Not disagreeing that this is a bug, but as a possible workaround you might want to try right clicking in the world (outside of the item selector) to clear the item you originally selected before selecting the next item…
Tony said on his last stream that this is a stacking problem. Probably the first tool should be cancelled when we select the second tool (in this case, the items). Also heard some things about objects that can be stacked on top of other objects but that it must be checked before they’re actually placed… (I might be wrong about this last one).
