Suggestion - Lock Icon on Creatures Page

jello • 8 November 2019 at 12:37 AM

I wish that, for creatures who are in a pending transaction, a lock icon appears beneath them in the My Creatures page. In the Inventory page, if an item is in a pending transaction, a lock icon prevents you from transferring it to your Strongroom. However, on the Creatures page, there is no such prevention keeping you from (trying to) change the name of a creature in a pending transaction. This does not affect travels, as travels can be removed from creatures in transactions.

Fix: A. Replace the "Rename Creature" icon with a lock of the same color and shape to fit in the row.
B. Simply remove the "Rename Creature" icon and instead put the lock icon in the blank space of the bottom right corner of the creature "card".

@jello not sure if this helps but this shows all your locked creatures

But what you’re saying would be amazingly helpful lol

@stevepat2002 yes, I am aware of this page. However, this does not show locked and non-locked creatures in the same page.

@jello
You can't actually change the name of the creature, that function/ability was removed years ago. I know it gives you the option but when you try you get a message saying "You have selected creature(s) that are currently locked in a pending transaction.".

I can see a visual being helpful for some people who do a lot of trading though.

@minnie298a I am aware of the restriction, but I wish that, since i usually have a lot of trades, that I could be able to see their status.

@jello I really like this idea. It would be a heck of a lot easier to not have to find out the hard way as you try to rename a creature that is locked.

@jello @stevepat2002 @minnie298a @wingedfox thanks for this suggestion. A lock icon now displays on the My Creatures page when your creature is pending a transaction.
