That would be nice.

How about more background objects like more rocks and flowers, buildings, ovens and fridges, stuff like that?

EDIT: Yay Page 8.

It would be nice to see more things visualized in the editor, such as whether things are active or not, and if walls are jagged or smooth.

True, but already mentioned.

I'd like to be able to rotate the editor screen so you can see, let's say, an object behind a tall wall without making the level disappear.

You can already control the editor's camera angle by using the numpad.

He means rotating the camera left and right. Right now the only way to see something behind a tall wall is turning the level upside down with the numpad.

Thank you jdl.

I already knew about how you can rotate on the 'Roll' and 'Pitch' in the editor. But rotating on the 'Yaw' is not yet possible, and it would be helpful in some scenarios. Sorry I didn't explain clearer.

Er, no? You can easily see straight down by pressing 7 on the numpad.

But that angle is not always the one you need to view something...

I'm pretty sure you actually can reverse the camera in the editor with the numpad. It's just way more trouble than it's worth (IMO).

I use to always hit * and / some how and it was really annoying.

Wow, I never knew that!

I just tried it, and you can (although it's very tricky) look at the back view of things using / and * in conjunction with 7 and 1.

Unfortunately they don't work for the classic trilogy games.

I HATE THESE BUTTONS, IT'S MAKE ME ALWAYS EXIT THE EDITOR THEN GET BACK TO IT...

I hope MS will change these buttons, maybe like - = ??

Really helpful thing I'd like for the PotZ editor: fullscreen option. It's very hard for me to focus on your editing work when there's a desktop background or window behind the editor, particularly if I'm tired.

More window resolutions for the editor, along with fullscreen.

WHOOPS.

Something that's always bothered me is the inability to move items around in your inventory. It really bugs me when there's an empty space between items, or if they aren't organized like I would want them to be. (Maybe a "right-click two items to switch them" solution would be possible?)

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 12:45 pm

Um...they can be moved in the Player and in-game...

You right-click one item and click where you want to swap it to.

jdl · Post by **jdl** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 1:09 pm

Oh I see.

When I tried doing it before, I had a glitchy mouse, so that's probably why it never worked for me.

My mistake, sorry.

Actually most people don't. In WA, I was already at the Mushroom Grove before I discovered it. It's not like a stinker told you or anything. If PotZ had that 'feature,' it would be helpful.

StinkerSquad01 · Post by **StinkerSquad01** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 5:00 pm

By that, you mean if the game told you? Yeah, that would be nice.

Well, I discovered it when I played WA PQ.

A feature I'd like to see is to have kinda higher platforms that you can reach through ladders and teleports, and a gravity effect if you try falling off a platform.

What do you think??

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 10:32 pm

How about trampolines like the ones in RTW so you can go flying in the air when a mad thwart sets you on fire?

BUMP

The thing that I really wish to see is the "If" feature, based on the eidtor, it'll be like this...

IF (cmd) (ID) (dat1) (dat2) (dat3) (dat4) is executed, then make another cmd.

a simplier way to explain it, If you were fighting a boss, then this boss dies, a command of number 21 opens up a dialog, or any commands, as the ending of the boss.

StinkerSquad01 · Post by **StinkerSquad01** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:14 am

How about a chain CMD function instead? You could link to other CMDs, maybe have a timer....A SEQUENCER CMD! Maybe it could use some timeline GUI.

Just implement Lua in the WA Editor and we'll be all happy.
