Title: Edit() - need help
Post by: ekbalam on September 09, 2009, 10:19:56 PM

I've searched the forums for help on this and cannot find it. I'm not having any luck figuring out how to use it to place items where I want them to be. I can muddle my way through and add random items in seemingly random places, but I need to get a drydock within a certain distance of a planet. Using "Add Ships" usually spawns the drydock waaaaaay away.

I may just end up giving the drydock a starship's hardpoint so I can pilot it.

Long question short...is there a user guide or a thread I'm not finding that tells how to use Edit()?
 :wtf

Someone call me? :P

While in "Edit mode" pressing the "m" key will make your mouse movements affect the rotation of a selected object, while pressing the up/down/left/right keys will affect the forward/backward/left/right position, respectively. You cannot "spawn" ships while in "Edit mode," but you can use "Add Ships" to create them and "Edit mode" to move them. I hope this answers your question.
