Map editor tip | Forums

[Swiftari]

The way I select objects after they've been placed on the map is: I click on the t for tile, then the o for objects, then I click or right click on the object on the map. I can then edit the object if it has editable properties. I can also move the object that way.

To delete the object, I click on the sissors at the top of the editor.

I also click the t and o to clear the last object selected.

I hope this helps some people that are having troubles editing and/or selecting placed objects.

I have found out that if you drag the mouse over a area with the mouse button pressed down it will higlight everything i red. then if you press delete while everything is high lighted the objects will disapear.

It maybe is in the manual but I havent bothered reading it yet

Yep, that works for me.

I think that a lot of those small problems are really nothing more then just getting to know the program. As Jolly-Joker rightfully pointed out in a different topic; reading the manual might help.

But, having said that, if you open the manual and you see that it has 67 pages... eh, let me see if I can do this without the manual.

Maybe a specific topic for simple editor tips might be a good idea. (Or simply rename this topic 'Map editor tips.) I know, there are manuals, and good ones from what I can see. But sometimes a simple tip like the one mentioned above helps for those people that are scared to read the manual because of the size of it.

IT would be good to make "Map Editor Q&A" topic, because there will be probably many topics about single things. And later some html faq could be made from that.

Ok, 3 questions abour regions:
- can I change their size?
- can I rotate them?
- can I create region with set size? [x|y] I will not count pixels on my screen...
