Room_editor_suggestions - hpgDesigns/hpgdesigns-dev.io GitHub Wiki
This is a list of suggestions for the room editor in LateralGM
- When selecting instances (e.g. with ctrl+click), add key for
toggling through selectable objects at the mouse position
- Might be difficult if the user has to hold down ctrl+click while
doing this...
- An alternative to think about is setting a toggleable CTRL mode when CTRL is pressed. Then CTRL will not have to be held all the time when manipulating instances. --Polygone 04:56, 11 August 2011 (CDT)
- Might be difficult if the user has to hold down ctrl+click while
doing this...
- Add keys and functionality for manipulating selected instances - deleting (CTRL DEL), copy (CTRL C) / paste (CTRL V), toggle lock (CTRL L), show creation code (CTRL some key)
- When selecting an instance from the object list the instance should be automatically centered in the view room.
- Selected instances should be highlighted in the room somehow so you know which instance you are referring to.
- Locked instances should be darkened or something to show they are locked.
- Add a right-click context menu to instances in the object list
- Add keys to move the room view (CTRL WASD and/or arrow keys possibly?)
- Add keys for zooming the room view (CTRL +/- and/or mouse wheel possibly?)
- Add box for rotating the grid (created instance should be rotated to the grid angle, the grid should automatically be rotated when a selected instance is rotated)
- Shift/Clear/Lock ALL buttons
- Add more comprehensive options menu for changing things like colors
- Pen drawing features
- Was thinking about a save/load room option which can also be used within ENIGMA, but not sure this would really work well unless someone can think of a way
- Move the object selection box to the top tool-bar, I think it is
rather cluttered how it currently is.
- This is inconsistent with the Room Editor's design/purpose, since it can also be used for backgrounds/tiles.
- Multiple selection
- Already kinda planned (see the Batch tab)
- Ability to sort instances/tiles by their source (object or background)
- Middle Mouse Pan
- Space + LMB Pan
- Minimap with pan
- Right clicking gives a context menu
- "C" highlights objects with creation code
- Add directly to the room interface the ability to set image_angle,
image_xscale/yscale for instances.
- Strongly agreed. Working on some ideas, and would appreciate help.
- Add an outline showing where views are
- More of a task than a suggestion. Should definitely be done.
- Make undoable (helpful for deleting instances/tiles by accident without reverting the whole room and thus all changes)
Suggestions that are already listed on the [ LGM Issue Tracker] must be tagged with their bug number.
