Hi all - Many of you have noticed that the Deactivate button doesn't always appear in the War Room when you have bot(s) Active but not doing anything. This happens when the last bot in your Active list is busy (in a mission, etc) and stops the button from appearing when it should.



As a workaround, you can use this snippet of Javascript to add the button to the form when you need it, similar to the earlier CR form workaround.

You'll need to use the javascript console for this, but hopefully the following steps are clear even if you're not comfortable with the techie side.

1. Go to your War Room
2. On that page, hit F12 to open the Developer tools
3. Go to the Console tab (top left of the Developer window on Chrome / Firefox)
4. Copy-paste the code below into the console where the flashing cursor is and hit Enter - the 'select all' button doesn't seem to work on the forum, but you can just drag-select it. It should all be on one line in the console.
   

   Code: Select all

   document.querySelector("form[name=deactivate_tfs]").insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd','<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Deactivate Transformer(s)</button>')

If done correctly, this will add a temporary 'Deactivate' button to the Active section. Select the bot(s) to deactivate and click the button as normal. (Tested on Chrome/Firefox; if you're using another browser the steps should be similar.)

Hope the steps above can help out anyone affected by the bug! If you have any trouble with it, drop a reply here and I'll try to help.

Should work in Chrome exactly as above?

Starting here (last bot blocking the Deactivate button):


Press F12 to get the Developer Tools window:


Click on the Console tab:
(edit: you probably won't have the red blocked error messages I have in the screenshot, just ignore them)


Copy & paste the code above and hit Enter:
(Note: looks like Chrome has added a security feature where it won't let you paste into the Console prompt by default - if you get that warning when you try to paste, just type "allow pasting" to enable it as stated in the warning)


Button added as soon as you hit Enter, deactivate bots as normal:


Hope that explains it!

screw it ill just wait
thanks for trying

I think this has been fixed. I don't have any characters doing anything. Can you guys confirm that I fixed the deactivate bug?

Just checked mine, it appears to be working with one bot deployed and the other 5 just active.

Yep, looks like it's working properly now. Thanks Ryan.
