Need more help on the official editor

[enclave assassin]

1) Once you plant your enemy on certain location of of the map, how do edit to make him to attack me as desginated enemy?

2) How do place an object or enity on the second floor or on the rooftop of the building?

3)How do you rotate the NPC, so they face you directly?

4) When you plant recruits on the map, how do get them to be on your team (in single player game). For example, if I put PIPBoy or Riddeck on the map, he should be directly on my team and is clickable for me to control him.

5) Is there a way to edit an entity while you're in level editor just as you're in actual entity editor? If so, how?

1) Once you plant your enemy on certain location of of the map, how do edit to make him to attack me as desginated enemy?

Press F7 and then in the bottom left of the screen press the button player... add a new player and set the ai to computer. Then set them to a team i.e 2. Exit and then press the button team, now change the values for teams 1 & 2 to red. Now F4 and click on your entity or if you haven't placed them yet enter the number in the player index of the new 'player' you added.

2) How do place an object or enity on the second floor or on the rooftop of the building?

On the right hand side of the screen is the level bar, either click on this or use the page up/down buttons to change levels then when you're at the right level place your entity. For example most maps the main floor is a -1 so you place your entities at 0 and second floors/one story roofs are at level 12 so place the entity at level 13 (you can also use home/end to go up/down 13 levels at a time). Right clicking on the level bar will hide a level if you want to see inside a building etc.

3)How do you rotate the NPC, so they face you directly?

Sigh click F4 and click on your entity then scroll down the data on the left hand side until you see animation rotation (above player index) then enter a number there and watch them spin.

4) When you plant recruits on the map, how do get them to be on your team (in single player game). For example, if I put PIPBoy or Riddeck on the map, he should be directly on my team and is clickable for me to control him.

Give them a player index of 1 (default human).

5) Is there a way to edit an entity while you're in level editor just as you're in actual entity editor? If so, how?

Click F4 entity edit and there's a list of things you can change in the level editor. It doesn't include everything, otherwise why bother with a seperate entity editor.

6) Damn! How do you create an enemy in sleeping mode just like some of the raiders in mission 2?

 

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

Start them prone and tick the box sleeping.

8) Just created a new gunshot sound. How do I make my gunshot sound available in the scroll box under sound type in the entity editor?

 

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

You can't add to the list it's hard coded. You'll have to use the fan made editor BoSEE to edit the entity after you've finished to point to the new sounds.

Read this for more instructions.

When everytime I copy and paste NPC, the NPC clone's armor and weapon in either of his hand turn out empty but eveything else including the inventory are intact. Is there a way I could copy and paste the NPC without having that kind of problem?

 

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

Nope.

Well you're equipping your entities in the level editor aren't you. That function is only really to give the generic actors a bit more variety without the need for 101 different entity files.

If you want to place several actors with all the same equipment make/copy an actor in the entity editor and then you can place them on the map as many times as you like.
