[0.17.46] Map Editor: Placing a single corpse is very difficult

Post by Gergely »

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.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
