THE "HIDDEN" FEATURES OF THE EDITOR - Know Your Editor #3

[@Spu7Nix]

i for one think the effect lines should be able to live in peace, without the fear of being exterminated #enableeffectlines

[@NotA_Bird]

I think effect lines can be important if you are trying to line up triggers or more

[@99ayumi]

Preach it

[@TheThunderBat]

I use effect lines all of the time, it helps a lot

[@7rodo]

i get bugs when i put a startPos aligned with another trigger, so then #enableeffectlines

Only thing I didn't know was Editor L2, and now I can finally die peacefully

[@rejecht_3042]

I never knew about move optimization apparently, group parent, and high detail. Idk how you didnt know what editor l2 is lol

[@NotA_Bird]

I had not idea that move optimization or taking away effect lines existed, but I don’t want to take away my effect lines.

[@TheThunderBat]

Group parent is very useful for me tbh, effect lines as well, I knew what Editor L2 was but I didn’t know how to use it

[@OmegaFalcon]

I forgot I watched this video and now I've relearned what editor L2 does lol

I’m really glad that i was recommended you, especially because I’m just starting to build the first level I want to get rated, these are definitely going to help, and they already have!!

[@lucs2330]

When i do infinite rainbow color with spawn trigger, i waste la lot of tume, but with build helper is so much faster. Thanks for show me this Sami

[@joshdeconcentrated2674]

I knew most of the things here, but the build helper is something I didn't know. this will help me out a TON, thanks so much!

[@RoltonsLV]

Samifying, thank you so much for uploading a very very helpful editor video! Tbh I build good levels but this sure will help me and others alot! Great video!

[@dingle37]

TheLatviaGamer GD Now it’s my turn to say hi! >:)

[@mrt8043]

This probably is your best video so far, the humor is on point again! There's absolutely no explanation of most of these things anywhere so this will probably help a TON of people and make their lives a lot easier when it comes to creating. I didn't even know what some of these buttons do even though I've been constantly creating levels for like 5 years now o.O

[@goodguysat6188]

Watching your videos is great. You balance helpfulness, comedy, and that satisfying accent in the perfect blend of a great video. keep it up!

[@Vertic03]

Not sure how well it would fit with the series or how hard it would be to make, but I'd REALLY fancy an advice tutorial for how to come up with design ideas. Great video by the way, as always :)

[@trstn3915]

select filter is such a life saver thanks

[@itscyclone6544]

[@TheZinkYT]

Wow, this was really helpful! I knew about most of these, but I had NO idea about others and how useful they were! Thank you so much, this video was really funny and informative :)

[@Arb71703]

Knew all of these, but idrc i enjoy watching you teach people these valuable things. Listen to the big man Sami, he knows what hes doing :)

[@SquahBrackah_M_SquahBrackah]

Lol i already knew some of them, but i learned some new too, sooo THANKU SAMIII ❣(btw the fact that u want us to learn the things u couldnt learn easily is so kind 😊)

[@kirlian5399]

So you're telling me the build helper would have saved me all those hours I spent changing groups in pulse triggers for half of my level??? Ok, next time I know what to NOT do in my free time, thank you Sami

[@twosoup3252]

Select filter is what I’ve always needed, thank you Sami

[@Impala101]

Im not sure if you remember me, but i was in your twitch chat a couple of days ago and you explained to me how to add a glow wall over your level to make it more vibrant, i want to say thanks because i am using it now and it looks pretty cool, its probably going to be part of my default process when building.

[@AllanThe]

Another huge thing that’s probably worth mentioning: unchecking a speed changer will make it get ignored by the editor entirely (including when you place a start position after it)

[@jadearo9397]

Thank you so much this just saved me hours of pain (specifically the build helper, I wish I knew about that waaay earlier)

[@myz3275]

Yay anorher one of these! I love this series

[@tagblanc]

your voice is so kind, you bring happiness just by talking

[@pita9054]

i do have one question tho. For the fading triggers, what do some of them do and how do they work. It would be helpful to know lol. Thanks for this series.

[@ayamkiwi]

sami the select filter is actually for selecting 1 specific obj without needing to deselect everytime you select the wrong obj when in swipe mode. you do this by clicking quickly while in swipe mode.

[@foxbinchh]

Even though I'm not that great of a creator, this still helped m e think of ideas for new levels!

[@foxbinchh]

*me

[@CyberGD]

THANK YOU SAMI

[@sokks5]

It should be noted that you can make really cool effects by turning off “dont fade dont enter” for one layer or turning it off for all except one!!! I found this out by accident, i think its something worth experimenting with

[@itsamcb]

Did NOT know about the "Uncheck Portals" feature, thanks :D I'm usually a guy that makes gameplay with a ton of portals so that's a life saver

[@trueaquarius9487]

I literally learned nothing but I loved the video. I guess I am somewhat more experienced in the editor that I thought I was.

[@skilledfully]

Do a full video on layering, please. Love you Sami!

[@LLL111lllwaard]

Yes I learned 3 new things from the editor, IDK why I remember an option to block layers, it allows you to make layers untouchable, the color yellow in the numbers turns orange, and then, there is no way to select it

[@grenategd2547]

Hey theres one more feature that you either forgot to mention or didnt know of. And its that plus and minus button that can be found in the Edit Object page over the layer select. Basically what they do is that when you have a bunch of objects selected at ones it will either add or substract one value from the layer (Top2, top1, bottom 1 etc) that every object is in so that you dont have to do it manually for yourself. Hopefully this will help you as much as it does for me :)

[@itsmefisher2012]

I know most of those but not the group parent, and Sami has actually explained it pretty well so thanks ;)

[@skyprolegend_gp3448]

This tutorial video is so good, i actually does not understand how does those things works, i like this a lot, and @samifying could you please explain all of the triggers and how does it work? I'd appreciate it.

[@PrestaGD]

One thing you didn’t mention is the ability to uncheck speed portals, which makes them deactivate when playtesting music. Useful for making alternate routes; or if you have a medium length level you want to be long, you can uncheck the faster speed portals.

[@mange_1_kiwim1k96]

2:21 does the little "-" and "+" have a purpose? (you can click on them)

[@Samifying]

Yes! I only found out about them after this video was made sadly... They make the selected objects bounce up one layer so for example from t1 to t2 or bounce down one layer for example b2 to b3 cool thing about this it doesn't smush all the objects together on to one layer!

"Do you really know what all of these buttons do?" well... resume exits the menu, save and play saves the level and sends you to the level in normal mode, save and exit saves the level and sends you back to the level menu, save is... pretty self explainatory, exit sends you back to the level menu without saving the level, you can check preview mode and uncheck it to have a preview of what the level would look like on normal mode, show ground shows the ground on the editor, show object info shows the selected object(s) info on the upper left side of the screen, select filter makes it so on the delete menu you can filter object selection, follow player makes it so the camera follows the player on playtest mode and ignore damage basically noclips you on playtest mode, the screw button on the upper right side of the screen shows YET ANOTHER menu which is NOT on this menu so im not going to cover it, the keys button with yellow text shows a list of hotkeys you can use, the build helper helps you build (but its mostly useless), create _base, outline, and edges_ are for the 2.1 blocks if you dont know how to build them yourself, reset unused sets all unused colors to white (default), uncheck portals is for unchecking portals (when you check a selected portal it shows you can see the limits of it), align x and y aligns all selected blocks on the selected axis if more than 2 are selected, select all auto-selects all blocks on the current layer, select all right and left is basically select all but on those sides of the screen, the button with a music note and some lines shows and hides music lines (the ones you record on the level options menu) and the help button shows the editor guide which YOU COULD BE USING INSTEAD OF *_READING THIS LONG TEXT WHICH I WROTE BY MYSELF WITHOUT WATCHING THE REST OF THE VIDEO._*
