Recognized by Council Link All: Lights

[Edymnion]

Just a quicky.

Was trying to set multiple adjacent lights to a single logic output and discovered you can't Shift + V on lights to link them all at once. Several hundred individual 'v' presses later I got it all done, but would have been nice to be able to link entire rows and blocks of lights together at once.

Ya .. it sux.

Workaround in meantime is to place your logic block first, hit C on it, THEN place your lights, they will link as you place them.

Not perfect but works until its gets looked at.

It used to work, which leads me to believe it is a bug. The same thing happens with logic. You can't link all with ANDs, and a few others that I can't quite remember.

I'd like a button combination that allows for the linking of every block of a type on a ship to one other block. i.e., linking all the white lights on a ship to a "Lights out" button.

SkylordLuke, I do believe we have reached the tipping point.

Shift+V on light blocks
Allow ctrl+v to link identical, adjacent lights to switches, activators, etc.

Or does this count as a bug?

yup,this is recognized by devs :P

I would say that it counts as a bug, or at least an oversight/unintended behaviour.

It was in the bug tracker, and you could do it on white lights for a short amount of time. No idea on the current status of it though.

You can just use replace filters to mass connect lights though
