Basics

We highly recommend you watch the YouTube tutorials for the editor provided by Bounding Box Games. It will introduce you to the editor fundamentals, such as navigating, texturing, lighting and so on.

A playlist of the tutorials can be found here

In addition, a tutorial map is shipped with the game called 'Editor_Tutorial', which demonstrates many of the functions and effects available to map creators. View this map in the editor to see how the functions are scripted, or even playtest the map to see these functions played out real time.

Camera Movement

 * Hold the middle mouse button to pan the camera
 * Hold the right mouse button to look around
 * While holding the right mouse button you can use the WASD keys to move around, as well as Q to float downwards and E to float upwards
 * While moving, hold the Shift key to move much faster

All of these movements can be done at the same time as you're editing. For example, you can move the camera at the same time as you're moving an object.

Key Bindings
Key bindings in the editor are customizable via the HotKeys window. The HotKeys window is available in under the Windows menu item on the Editor Menu.
