In the map editor, I would like to place a single character corpse. Unfortunately, whenever I click, it places more than one (one per tick) and it's quite difficult to determine when exactly is one placed. This is probably not a bug. But it's also likely not working as intended. (Where should I post those anyway?)

This makes it hard to place exactly one corpse: I have to make sure my click lasts exactly one in-game tick. In order to be able to do that, I have to deliberately slow the game down: (Editor can only slow it down to 15fps which is not quite enough...)

1. Pause the game
2. Set up tons of "blood-explosion-huge" entities
3. Start the game
4. Watch the fps drop under 5 and listen to the computer coolers spin
5. Finally place the corpse while being careful not to place more than one... The sound of it helps.

As a workaround, brush placement with minimum size and maximum intensity works way better than cursor placement.

Thanks for the report. I was slightly confused about this because placing corpses actually works just fine. It's specifically the character-corpse that doesn't (which is distinct from normal corpses in the game engine).

It's now fixed for the next version of 0.17.
