Level Editor: Prop Path tool page

New page

{{Tool infobox
| name = Prop Path
| location = Functional > Prop Path (fences, rows)
| shortcut = {{Key|Enter}} or double-click places; {{Key|Backspace}} takes back an anchor; {{Key|Alt}}+click smooth anchor
| makes = A row of props along a route: fences, railings, lamp posts, hedges
| settings = Tool Properties
}}
'''Prop Path''' repeats one or more props along a route you click, so a fence follows a field's edge, a railing follows a walkway and a row of posts lines a road. The pieces are placed as ordinary [[Level Editor/Entities/Prop|props]] in a new group, so you can still move or delete any of them afterwards.

== Laying a prop path ==
# Place the prop or props to repeat (a fence panel, or a post and a panel) and '''select''' them.
# Choose '''Functional > Prop Path (fences, rows)'''. The panel shows the '''Pattern''', the props it will repeat in order. With none selected it says ''none yet: select the prop(s) to repeat'', and the last pattern you used is kept.
# Click along the route. Each click is a '''corner''' the pieces meet exactly. {{Key|Alt}}+click drops a '''smooth''' anchor the route bends through instead.
# The pieces show as you go, and the settings change them live.
# {{Key|Enter}} or a double-click places them as plain props in a new group. {{Key|Backspace}} takes back the last anchor; {{Key|Esc}} abandons the route.

The props you selected stay where they are.

== Settings ==
Kept between uses, so a fence's settings carry on to the next fence.
