I'm currently playing the Lemmings Plus 1 pack by @namida on retrolemmini and I'm really enjoying it so far, it's everything I really liked about playing lemmings as a kid and I really like the new levels. However there's one particular level that requires a blocker to turn around a builder while it's building a bridge, and I cannot figure out where to do it? The spot I think where you have to do it, the game will not let me select the walker when I'm trying to turn it into a blocker and it just selects the builder instead even when I use framestepping and move my cursor all around where the lemmings are. But more often it just won't turn the builder around even when it's standing in front, I know it's possible as I did it by accident the first time but something else went wrong with the lemmings and I had to start again?

For example, it always seems to end up like this even though I did the blocker when it was just in front of where the builder was, at the absolutely last place I could put it before it fell off? I've done it twice by accident now but both times it's ended up wrong.

I managed to do it in the end and didn't even need a miner!

In order to help you in the future with these kind of selections:

There is a hotkey that forces the game to select a walker. It should be the "up" arrow by default.

This can even be combined with the "right" or "left" arrow key in order to select a walker facing right or left.

The force walker select is also very helpful for selecting non-digger lemmings in a digger pit.  :)

Oh, I just saw this is Lemmini and not NeoLemmix.  :-[

I do not remember if the up arrow walker select works in Lemmini - it's been a long time since I played on that engine.  :P

Not sure if it will work on Lemmini but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip - I have neolemmix but didn't get on with it the first time I tried. I will give it another go though. :D
