Mapping in other dimensions.

[Lestat]

Hi. I have recently started to use the Map Editor. I have noticed it has problems processing other dimensions. You can set an object, for example a pick up item or a vehicle. you can modify their "dimension" value for example to 1. Yet if you test the map, the object is in the dimension 0. Even if the object properties in the editor shows 1, the object appears in the dimension 0.

Also there is no way of switching dimensions in the editor. Of course you can make a script to do that. And I did. I created a script to go to different dimensions, but the editor gets all bugged not showing the objects I want to add (they only show if the dimension is 0).

So, how do I map in other dimensions besides 0?

Thank you for your time.

The map editor uses another dimension than 0 by default but saves to dimension 0 if nothing else is specified, the easiest way is probably to just map in dimension 0 and then edit the map file in your text editor by adding the dimension properties to every element in there later. Maybe you're trying to add stuff into an interior? if that's the case you may use the admin panel or similar to switch to the dimension you wish to map in, and then create your map there. Even if you'll have to edit the file manually later you can still see a preview of your map in the correct dimension.

Thank you. That is indeed a very good solution.
