Few questions about the Editor. - Bonehead - 04-10-2013
Hi, I'm very new to the editor, just had a few questions.
First off, is there a way to change level in the editor? I'm trying to build a downstairs but I can't figure out how to get down to that level without zooming out entirely and making the camera unstable.
Second is, I originally had one monster set up.. My issue with him was he would see me, but the second I rounded a corner, he'd give up. I have path nodes set but haven't scripted them as I haven't found a tutorial on that yet that isn't insanely hard for me to understand. When I put a second monster on the map though, they both met eachother halfway. then just stood there. Anyone have some tips on this? Also any useful tutorials that are easier than usual to understand would be a great help. I just started a few days ago, very new, never done code before.. but it's been fun. Here's a video of my first test run.

Down in the bottom left of the editor, there's a thing which lets you change the height/level. Also, if you have an item selected, press 'F' and the grid will move the the level that the item is on.

Thank you very much. One more question as well. Is there a way to use the suitors in the editor from Justine?

Thank you very much. One last thing would be if someone could guide me to a helpful tutorial that isn't too complex on making scripts and writing the code for monsters to patrol correctly and what not.. sorry for asking for so much. I'm very new, but this is getting very fun.
