When hovering mouse over a feature in feature edit mode:
c copy the cursor's map-xy for feature target-xy placement v paste the copied xy into a features target
When hovering mouse over a spawner in spanwer edit mode:
` set spawner radius to -1 (spot spawner) 1-0 set spawner radius
Maped mouse operations
left click
- editing features : add new blank feature. Click it again to edit its properties.
- editing monsters : add monster after selecting one from the pallete
- editing map : change a map tile
- editing items : place an item. Items may be piled on top of each other.
right click
- edit features / items / monsters : delete that feat/item/monst
- edit map : set the current paint tile to that which you just right clicked (a bit like an eyedropper)
Extended mouse/keboard ops
Copying spawners & features
When editing spanwers:
- Use ctrl-Lclick on a spawner to copy it's values to memory.
- Use shift-Lclick to place a memory copy of that spanwer.
The same goes for copying features, except that you must be in edit-feature mode to do so. The mouse operations are the same.
Changing a feature type without changing its values
In feature edit mode, select a feature from the pallette, then shift-right click on an existing feature on the map to convert it to the selected feature.
Eg, say you wanted to change a LXY to a TEL, but wanted to keep the feature's dest-x and dest-y, select TEL from the pallette, then shift-right-click on the LXY on the map to convert it to a TEL.
