Tools & User Interface[ | ]
===Filters===[1]
</gallery> The filters are here to help you finding what you are looking for.
Search[ | ]
If you know the name of the unit the search is usually the fastest way to find what you are looking for.
List of available units[ | ]
These units are the ones you have defined in the Data Modules Unit tab.
- If a unit appears as a grey ball, the usual error is that the link between the actor and the model has not been defined properly.
List of placed units[ | ]
- This list contains all units which you have placed on the map.
Additional tools[ | ]
Find/Replace[ | ]
If you want to remove all marines on the map you can do this with the powerful search tool, available in Edit>Find/Replace.
Object Groups[ | ]
To manage portions of units, you can assign them to groups, which is done in the Map>Object Group settings.Object Groups
- You can assign orders and manipulate these groups with Triggers. As an example, you can make them attack a base using the "Issue Order to Unit Group" action.
Unit Properties[ | ]
If you double click a unit or group of units on the map, you will get a property window.
- The name in this window does not reflect the units name in-game. It is for the editor only. To change a units name, you will have to edit it in the Data Module.
- The AI settings are a bit complicated and discussed in the Artificial Intelligence.
