Openrct2: Change the "Scenery eyedropper" to a "eyedropper" icon

[Nubbie]

The eyedropper tool is right now the claw used to pick up peeps for example, the 'standard' icon is usually a 'eyedropper' - see comment on issue 2078 for more information

To keep all the icons in rct2 I would use the cross hair one instead. i think the claw is not accurate enough for small scenery objects.

I also have a another request that would be useful to some for this new feature. To make it auto-rotate in the position that the object is. There is a demand from NE members.

"Would be super nice it it automatically rotated to the direction​ the object you selected was
Right now it just jumps to default"

Is that the case for all objects or just trees and fences?

[xp4xbox]

it would be the case for all objects expect non-rotatable ones like fences.

Hmm, I do set rotation so I don't know why its not working:

@IntelOrca You didn't combine the result of map_element_get_direction() with get_current_rotation().

Something like this works for me:
(get_current_rotation() + map_element_get_direction(mapElement)) & 3

[IntelOrca]

@rwjuk can you create a PR for that?

[rwjuk]

@IntelOrca Will do. I was going to but wondered as it's such a small change whether you'd just want to make it yourself. Best to do it right though :+1:

[IntelOrca]

@rwjuk It will be awhile before I am at my computer again, so this will be quicker.

@IntelOrca Ahh, makes sense. Done! #5344

I second this. While most vanilla/expansion scenery is large enough for the claw to be easily used, there are a lot of custom scenery objects that are just too small or thin to be easily selected with the claw.

Isnt it possible to use a dropper as icon - crosshair when selected?
(For easy recognission, the claw does a kinda good enough job, but eyedropper feels more widespread)
