Show Portal ID on mouseover

Have you ever made a level with lots of portals, and when you went back to edit it, you couldn't remember anything about where the portals were? Well, if ee showed the portal id and its link when you put the mouse on it (don't click!), than you would not have to worry about that! Only owners would be able to see the ids, though.

An even better way would be to be able to give your portals names, and link to those(they would still show info on mouse over) so that the confusing portal IDs would be gone! (If you don't want that, then you could just name it with numbers).

Credit to Slawthe, he posted it before me. Check here
If you support this idea, then vote for it on Uservoice!

If someone could make a picture of this then that would be great, I am currently trying to.

Option to turn it on or off (Bimps1002)
Only owners of the level can use it. (KRAZYMAN50)
Pressing alt/shift key/i key/p key/f key/c key shows the IDs of every portal. (Slawthe)
When you mouse over a portal on the main map, the target portal will twinkle on the minimap (Slawthe)
You can choose to set it so if you mouse over the minimap where a portal is, it shows the id.
You can show the id of the highest portal and the id of the lowest portal.(Slawthe)
You can show how many portals you have.(Slawthe)
When editing the portal IDs, all portals will twinkle on the minimap. (KanibalFrost)
Be able to enter an ID to go to the portal with that ID (only level owner). (Ratburntro44)

Cool, but there should be an option if it gets in game.

Re: Show Portal ID on mouseover

I also agree to this. Only if the user has code, and only if the user has the "portal-id-on-mouseover" to on. Or whatever.

Nice, I always forget the ID's...

Re: Show Portal ID on mouseover

Yes, I get really confused and start deleting all the portals and replacing them again.

Either that, or I choose like a really far number I haven't used and use it for that.

Re: Show Portal ID on mouseover

OMG! I posted this idea already in the List of Suggestions topic waaay long ago, no one noticed. here look http://eeforumify.com/viewtopic.php?id=60&p=7, see the date. Anyway I agree with the thing (obviously), but how about rather than just seeing the id and target of one portal, there is an option to see the id and target of every portal by pressing let's say "alt." And how about when you scroll over one portal the target portals will glow on screen and minimap (can be turned on/off).

Re: Show Portal ID on mouseover

I agree with this, it should've been implimented from the start of portals.

Re: Show Portal ID on mouseover

I like this idea, and I agree that it should only be given to people with the code.

How about you share it on Uservoice?

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Re: Show Portal ID on mouseover

Has this seriously never been suggested before? It must have been; it's been plaguing players since portals were first implemented. Obviously I agree.

Oh, but the alt key suggestion wouldn't work. The alt key sends you to "file." So it would have to share the shift key with usernames.

Re: Show Portal ID on mouseover

shift, did you not! read my post? I just said I suggested that a MONTH ago. Anyway yeah alt worked for me one time without exiting the game, idk how. How about I then for i.d. or P for portal.

Re: Show Portal ID on mouseover

YOU THINK I READ?!?!?

Sorry, no, I didn't read your post. I'm already reading far too much for summer time.

Well I would like to see a more centralized "control panel," so I would personally prefer to just stick it with usernames, but I and P would both be fine.

Re: Show Portal ID on mouseover

Lol obv not, I read a lot too, I didn't complain. And yeah those keys would probably work well, this really should be implemented in the game.

Yeah, if regular people could see them then lots of worlds would be ruined!
