Editor: Level build : What you need to know

From AOW HT Wiki

Some tools allow you to copy blocks of element in the map in order to avoid to do twice or three times the same job. The general idea is to save a significant block (like a farm for example) constituted of units (buildings, animals, fences....), materials (grass....) and the relief and spawn the whole on another location on the map in one operation.


The clipboard


The clipboard allows to copy/paste units. Here is the method to save a group of units :

  • To save a group
    • Select the group
    • Copy the group (CTRL + C)
    • Save the roup in a file

  • To spawn the group
    • Load the file
    • Paste the group (CTRL + V)

The multifunction blender


This tool is more complete: it allows to spawn units, materials and the relief. The general idea is to define an area of application and paint this area with a complex paintbrush that paints, spawn units and modify the topography from the loaded file.
