Missing Feature Request (common in all 3D applications): lock (disable) actor selection in viewport

This and a great many other things :sweat_smile:
one day staff will look at the century old posts and decide to add the smol features we crave

Don’t get me wrong their doing some fantastic work adding features
but on improving the small things totally suck

Sessions could have more var exposed
Things running and crashing the editor should make it run in some kinda safe mode where execution dosent happen or display anything to viewport until you say go
Unclickable actors like mentioned here
Multiplayer as a whole could be substantially easier
Highly common platforms like steam and epic you still have to go into configs and change net driver settings when there could just be a button for that that downloads and includes SDK even mod loaders for games can do this :sweat_smile:
Also Linux support is kinda a joke might aswell say impossible ( for the editor )
But at least we have a solid forums to figure our stuff out, certainly an improvement to the likes of reddit IMO

The biggest thing being rarely do staff comment on these years old problems and let us know Yes No or Not Soon

i don’t mean to rant and complain too much but if somebody finds this and there adding these small features the mall QOL fixes the better

53 votes and not even noticed >_> I’d much rather have basics like this than Substrate and other flashy experimental features that will never get fully completed.

Ya i hate to say it but if i was Epic I’d have at least one dev dedicated to going through the forums and finding the oldest and or most upvoted things and if there feasible to just do that allow them to pull 1-2 people from other specialties if their needed but most times its as simple as a user interface improvement and or a single if statement :sweat_smile:

but what do i know :sweat_smile:
optimally ALL devs on staff would have to make one improvement like this in some time period
and preferably have them be in settings as optional things to enable for the people that do/don’t want the more niche things or when there’s a decent reason to not have it enabled

It’d be nice if you got to 50 votes or some number a staff at least popped in and said a time table on the feature request or weather its off the metaphorical table

I remember being shocked that this was missing when I first started using UE :melting_face:

Hero! Thank you so much. You made my work easier :slight_smile:
