PlayerStart area refuses to work

I've tried moving the spawn area everywhere, on the bottom of the floor, in the middle, yet every time I try playing the map, it puts me out in the void and I just fall to my death. The wiki doesn't really help as there are no tutorials explaining how to place a playerstart correctly. I have a feeling it might be because I don't have a script file for it or something, but I kinda doubt it.

Are you sure that it is a playerstart area? So that it is not a regular script area named playerstart or something like that? You select different types of areas in a drop down menu for the area tool.

Yes, that's what I did. In the screenshot I have it selected, that's why it's white. Hold on, here's a screenshot of the parameters.

Make sure there is no other start area (use the search function in the editor), the game should use the first area it finds, so if there is only 1 area then that area should be used.

You should also open the user_settings.cfg file in My Documents/Amnesia/ for your user and make sure that you enter the name of the area in the PlayerStartArea (I think it is called that), which is in the <map line
