As i am adding new features to the rooms editor (for the moment i am adding the Undo/Redo function for objects), i am analyzing the code, and i found some features that i didn't know before ! For example, did you know that when you want to add a lot of the same object into a room, you can 'paint' objects ? I don't think that every user knows this feature.
Here is some tips when managing objects in a room:
- For adding a new object, you select the object type, in the object tab, and you click anywhere in the room. You can also move the object, by dragging it. If you want to 'paint' an object, press the shift key and with left button pressed, 'paint' the objects on the map.
- If you want to move an object, select an object with the mouse, press the ctrl key and drag it.
- If you want to delete objects, press the right key and erase all the objects under the cursor.
Edit:- if you move an object and press alt, the snapping is disabled.
Soon i want to explain these features in the empty wiki page :
http://enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Room_Editor. But as this page is almost never visited, i think it would useful to add a new button in the toolbar of the rooms editor which opens a new window and explains all the features i just explained.
