Hi fellow game devs, hope you're all having a great day. I'm currently working on a map editor for my game project Golemized, Just to make more sense of how the map editor works, only map editors/admins may edit maps, so once the player is admin he them presses a key 'M' and then the editor pops up.
Im trying to think about which tools would be useful in a top down rpg game, what should a map editor have ?
Some basics I've got down is 'place item at x/y position' 'update item information if available' 'move item from x/y to x/y' remove item from x'y.
What - perhaps interesting tools would you guyts have in mind if you were working on a map editor ?
Another one I've got is placing 'clip' rectangular boxes that start by mouse_x/y left click and end at mouse_x/y second click, this then creates a rectangle that prevents players from moving there, instead of uses preset sizes.
Ill have a look at already made map editors but if you're feeling creative please participate.
