Map Maker: MOVE BUTTON NOT WORKING?!
« on: December 26, 2012, 12:05:35 pm »
Just like the title says, whenever I want to move something on my new map in map maker, it won't move. The M button isn't working either, and it's really annoying having to use the arrows instead (especially when moving water). Does anyone know why? I think it may be because I'm using a heightmap I made in photoshop, since the move button works fine on blank maps. :L

Any help?

Yeah, this happens quite a lot with me too. What I usually do is load the same mesh you are trying to move, delete it then try moving the original mesh. It tends to work for me. Again with the water.

Tip: Try putting all the water you need in first before you put other meshes and objects in.

Hoped this helped~

I'll try that, thank you.

EDIT: It doesn't seem to be working. :L

this also had me stumped for a while but it turns out, when your move option isn't working, its because you're outside of the map boundaries. make sure you are ON the map when you're trying to move these objects.

Ah! I understand now. XDD I feel so stupid. Thanks for explaining.
