LevelEditor Videos
The LevelEditor provides game designers with a WYSIWYG interface for constructing game levels. The following videos show you how to use individual LevelEditor features.
Note: These videos were created using LevelEditor 3.5; some features may behave slightly differently for later versions.
| Video | Subject |
|---|---|
 Using Manipulators |
You can move, rotate, and scale objects by using the LevelEditor's manipulators. (2:11)
|
 Moving Pivot Points |
Objects contain pivot points around which scaling and rotation occur. You can move an object's pivot point to change how the LevelEditor scales and rotates an object. (1:59) |
 Zooming the World |
Using the keyboard and mouse, you can zoom in and zoom out of the World. (1:03) |
 Rendering Objects |
The LevelEditor lets you choose whether to display wireframes, textures, lighting, and back faces when rendering objects. (1:43) |
 Duplicating Objects |
You can easily duplicate game objects in the Design View. If you duplicate a set of game objects, the new objects have the same relative position to each other as the originals. (1:20) |
 Creating Linears |
You can create linears by using the Curve tool in the Palette. (1:42) |
 Rotating Objects to Face a Nearby Surface |
Using Rotate on Snap, you can have game objects rotate to orient themselves to a nearby surface. (0:55) |
 Using Sublevels |
Sublevels allow you to break up large game worlds into smaller pieces so that they're more easily managed. They can also be shared among multiple game designers. (2:03) |
 Using Lights in a Game Level |
Three different Light objects allow you to achieve many different kinds of lighting effects within a game level or within a specific scene in the level. (3:27) |
