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.
