[RESOLVED] Wrecking Ball Deploying Backwards

Post by qoonpooka »

It built backwards and I can't seem to assemble it anything but backwards...

Shift + control + mouse wheel should help :D

Perhaps on the initial build, but what about when I've packed it up and am redeploying it?

I got this job done by sneaking myself between the house and the wrecking ball itself, but there's a wall demo job in my future...

Right-click the object you carry and then, before clicking the ground to actually place it, move and rotate with with shift+control+mousewheel.

But I agree that it is an oversight of the devs that you can't imply click it against a wall/building (like we could place stuff in previous worlds as close as possible to something else by simply right-clicking the object to place against) and be done with it.

Ah! This was it, yes. :) Thank you!
