x and y coordinates

Ideas for Game Editor evolution.

x and y coordinates

Postby savvy » Sat Sep 18, 2010 2:38 pm

on the "actor control" menu, can we please have a bit which shows the x and y values of the actor selected, it would help when for example we need an actor to go back to where it spawned without guessing loads of times.
--> For my help, i ask for a simple +1 if it helps! ^-^
--> I dont code, I type art which you dont understand.
--> I keep winning the 3D model challenge at college, teacher says: "you keep winning im not giving you prizes".

even though while you click on an actor it shows the actor's coordinate (Not the mouse coordinate) in the top bar
but it'd be more handy in the actor panel indeed

thanks for that comment. Having it in the title bar is sufficient.

Sufficient yes
But inconvenient when actors are all over each other, it's annoying having to press Ctrl+Click trying to get the right actor, when there's the actor icon that overlays the x coordinate

Can we have a thing on GE called the grid? I am tired of one million trials and errors to find right x and y coordinates

I think you mean have the grid numbered.... at the least from the center point out...
May help a lot...
I've dealt with mass changing of x,y coordnits but it would save a couple hours worth when I start pushing past 5 levels to 30... + testing time....
