parenting entity

[drarem]

Is there an easier way to parent an entity to a prefab instead of left-clicking the entity at the top of the Scene list of objects, and slowly rolling the middle mouse button down to the bottom where the prefab or mdl file is in your scene? In most cases my finger on the left button gives out and the entity gets parented to God knows what..then i have to locate it and continue scrolling down.

 

Thanks.

The list really needs to scroll up and down when you hover the selection close to the top/bottom of the list and has been a problem since day one. Filters have improved the issue but not solved it.

how about adding a drop-down menu to each object you can parent something to? Or a parenting textbox. then you could drag the item from the list down to the parenting box, which should auto-update the Scene listbox.

another thing missing is to be able to drag and drop an entity between existing ones on the same level.

Currently we can only drop an entity becoming a child of the one we dropped it onto.

How about the option to split the scene list in two vertically and drag/drop between them.
