Click-through blocker not allowing crew transfers.

[ssgtbaloo]

I have a lot of coordination and mobility issues, and some of my must-have mods to overcome these liabilities have the Click-Through Blocker Mod as a dependency.

When I uninstall that mod, a lot of the mods I need to be able to control air and space vehicles with confidence are not available. I have nerve damage and a form of palsy that makes fine coordination very hit-or-miss (mostly miss). On the other hand, when I call up the menu on a crew pod so I can transfer crew (say, from a mission module to a lander) I can click on the pod I want to transfer the selected crewmember to and he'll go there.

When I have Click-Through Blocker installed, I can select a crew member to transfer, but once I do, I can no longer then click on the vessel to tell him where to go because the click-through blocker won't allow it while the pod menu is still open, and if I close the open menu, the highlighting goes away and I have to reinitiate crew transfer, or I could, but I'll just get the same results.

Does anyone know how to temporarily disable the Click-Through Blocker while the game is running? This is the only problem I've been having with it, and apart from this, it's saved me a lot of trouble.

I have click through blocker as well, but haven't had this issue myself.

Then again I use Dmagics crew portraits so I'm typically using the transfer button that provides.

Thanks! I'll go have a look at that mod.

After trying literally dozens of different ways to circumvent the "transfer blockage", it seems as though I will have to just save the game, exit, uninstall the necessary mods, restart the game, tranfer the crew, then exit the game again and rteinstall the mods.

I don't think I will be doing a lot of spaceflights from now on.

Bummer.

Are you using the latest version of click through blocker?

Also, have you tried asking this question on the release page itself? Lot's of people there who use it as well plus the creator of the mod too.

Problem solved (or at least, no longer a problem).

I checked again today and the problem seems to have fixed itself after several mods updated (none of which was the Click-Through Blocker, so far as I can tell). I run lots of mods at a time, and have learned that sometimes the fix is just to wait for the mods to update, because when you run a lot of them, sometimes a mistake in one interacts with a different one, and it can difficult to chase down the cause faster than the modders can catch their own goofs and post a fix.
