New mission template feature: Video explanation

[Pikey]

 

 

I've had a look, the limitations that I'm aware of are:

 

 

 

• Can't create a template on one map and get it to another
  
• Can't create linked objects on moving objects, like a client slot on a moving ship.
  
• Won't save anything but groups/units/statics - would have liked script and triggers and zones
  

[EDIT forgot to say, this feature is awesome and so long awaited, thank you ED]

First fix I’d like to see is being able to use template with any map

[Pikey]

Well... enhancement... ;) ED would have to find a way to translate completely different coords to a new map and then the issue is... how much value to you get out of things being displaced? There's some logical thinking there on their behalf.

 

Wait till you see the new stuff that's been commented out I don't want to start a riot becauyse its not ready yet, but I'm over the moon about the Mission Editor level changes ED have attempted, real super time savers.

How do sent the template files to someone else iwasnt able to locate the file itself to forward Friend. I had to send the miz file. My other thi was I was told he way to transfer data to another map was copy and paste they showed usingcontrol mice click like normal to be able to select multiple items to copy then change maps the paste on to the new map slow and tedious ay to do it.

 

I aswondering two things the first if you would be able to edit the lua file to be able to place items more electively? And two could you take those. Luafiles to another mission file on a different map and paste the lua data in there to be able to transfer big packakages from one map to the next editing them as needed?
