Enhancement - Relay screen - add visual feedback in waypoint-placing mode and probe-launching mode #2667
Description
On the Relay screen, after clicking the button to place a waypoint or launch a probe, the just-pressed button disappears and the GUI does not indicate what to do next:
placing_waypoint_and_launching_probe.mp4
This was confusing to new players. I propose adding some instructions or feedback to tell the user what to do.
An easy fix is to add instructions text at the top:
added_instruction_text.mp4
I though it would be better to change the place/launch buttons from plain buttons to toggle buttons which are active in placing/launching mode:
This would also let the user cancel placing/launching, which I think is currently impossible.
The image above is a mockup. I wanted the place/launch button to stay in place when all the other buttons in option_buttons were hidden, but calling hide() on the other buttons fully removes them from the layout. When the place/launch button is the only element in option_buttons, it's all the way at the top, where the Open Comms button usually is.
Anyway I'm sure someone will find a nice way to add instructions or visual feedback for this issue :)
