My right click is not working for some reason
I haven't played in a good while so there is a chance I may just be forgetting the controls, but as the title stated my right click is not working in game. When i have a colonist selected trying to make them do something it doesn't work. I tried a different mouse and still had the same issue. Outside of the game my right click works perfectly fine. Anyway if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

There are a number of potential causes for this.

Many mod compatibility issues can cause right click functionality to not work, i.e. no menu pops up.

Depending on the pawn and what you're right clicking on, you may have issues due to:
- Pawn can't do that type of work
- target of right click is out of allowed area
- target of right click has no functions available (this can be due to other paws)

Probably a lot more as well. You need to test right clicking in a number of situations, and provide some details here, especially screenshots.

Thanks for the help, how should I go about figuring out what mod might be causing the problem?

My right click stopped working years ago. I got a blue pill that helped, but it didn't last long. I think it's just a sign of ageing and you just need to accept it. There are other things in life.

Disable a chunk of mods. Load the game and check. Do this until the issue disappears, then re-enable a chunk of mods until the issue reappears. Repeat.

yeah my right click is not working either, i had debug open and every time i would right click on something i would see this appear in the log "Error trying to make float menu for Amalia: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: type
[Ref 97C31AF7] Duplicate stacktrace, see ref for original
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 39)" i am not 100% sure if its caused by the same thing that is causing yours but i just wanted to see if this could help, also it might be caused by a mod we both have so just try to list some off and i can check if i also have the same mod enabled.

Also, did you load a new game with no mods? (Meaning there is no savegame that may have contained mods)

i have gotten some screen shots just of my mod list, how do i send them and would it help?

Not really IMO. Disable your mods. Start a new game. See if the issue persists.
ballzack69420 Aug 5, 2024 @ 12:26pm 
ok, i will mess with it to see if i can get it to work and i will message back
ballzack69420 Aug 5, 2024 @ 12:48pm 
i didint get it yet but i got more bug data "Error trying to make float menu for Maker: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: type
[Ref 97C31AF7] Duplicate stacktrace, see ref for original
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 39)"

same as before

"Exception in RimWorld.ThinkNode_ConditionalColonist TryIssueJobPackage: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: type
[Ref 1267266C] Duplicate stacktrace, see ref for original
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 39)"

different, so clearly it must or likey is a mod related to ai tasks, priority's and action's, i will continue
ballzack69420 Aug 5, 2024 @ 1:15pm 
good news i got it to work! however i have to find which mod is causing the bug now
ballzack69420 Aug 5, 2024 @ 2:07pm 
OK so. i have all of my OG mods working kind of, i have updated as many as i could that were like 1.2, 1.3 1.4 to 1.5 and now everything is fine. which means (i think idk 100% tho) that you need to remove old mods and replace them with new update version's, there is only a couple of mods that either don't have updates can might be the cause or have an update but when not updated will cause this. i think the mods might be old dynamic diplomacy, duel wield and 1.2 tranquilliser guns. if you have don't have any of these mods but still having issues then you should check for updates in the comments of any old mods also disable all HM mods, they don't work any more.
