The Sidebar

The sidebar is the inventory of the map maker, containing everything you need to build awesome maps. It has platforms of every type! (switch types using the buttons on the left)

Creating Platforms

To create a platform, just drag your platform of choice onto the world and voila!

INFO

Alternatively, you can hold ctrl and drag a platform to clone it into the world

Removing Platforms

Okay lets say you created a platform which you don't want anymore, there are two simple ways to remove it completely:

• Drag it back into the sidebar

• Click it, and press del or backspace

Moving Platforms

To move your platform, just drag it and plop it wherever you want it to be. That's it!

If you want to you can also just modify the platform's position from the Inspector (more on that later)

TIP

• If you want to move your platform only on the x/y axis, just move it while pressing shift and it will clamp to the closest axis!

• If you want to clamp your platform to an integer position - move it while pressing alt, it will also display the item's position on a small window!

The Marker

Hover over your platform with the mouse, see that box in the middle? that's the marker.

If it's white that means you are in scaling mode, if it's black, you are in rotating mode.

switching between them is easy, just press s to enter scaling mode and r for rotating mode.

Scaling Platforms

To scale a platform, just hover it and drag the marker to resize.

• upwards = increase scale
• downwards = decrease scale

TIP

If you want to scale the platform not arbitrarily, just hold down shift while scaling and the scale will increase/decrease by multiples of 0.1

Rotating Platforms

To rotate a platform, just hover it and drag the marker around, the platform will face your cursor as long as the marker is visible.

TIP

If you want to rotate the platform not arbitrarily, just hold down shift while rotating and the rotation will inch by 15 angle multiples while rotating.

Spawn Points

Spawn points are the items that decide where the players will spawn on the map, any map is required to have only 4 of them (or 1 spawn all) for it to be able to save.

Spawn points can be accessed by clicking the yellow button on the left of the sidebar, with numbers representing the player they spawn (except for spawn all which contains a bopl)

TIP

cloning a spawn point will create the next spawn point (except for spawn all)

Spawn All

The spawn-all spawn point is an item that when placed on the map, automatically spawns every player in the spot it is in.

• much easier than dragging 4 spawn points to the same position.
