Feature Request: Coord Attribute Tool

[Goldeye]

Hi I have a feature request for a utility that would be extremely useful for SSCE Hockey Zone.

 

We use eLvl Attributes to list the coordinates on the map that don't really define a region -- just a point.

This is great because we can store the data relevant to a map inside the lvl itself.

For example, we record the locations to enter and exit the penalty box -- or to drop the puck -- this way.

 

If there was a tool that let you select a tile, enter a name, and then created a pair of attributes using that point's coordinates, it'd save us a lot of time.

 

Here's how I'd have it work.

1. Select the tool

2. Click the tile (Example: 510,520)

3. Dialog box pops up asking for a name. (Example: Freq0Box)

4. DCME generates two attributes -- X and Y (Example: Freq0BoxX=510; Freq0BoxY=520)

 

Potential features:

1a. Make a check box to choose tiles vs pixels

1b. Make drop/combo boxes to add or subtract pixels from X or Y.

 

Thanks for the consideration.

This sounds similar to Selection -> Generate Script in CLT, although the output of that is best put in the arena's settings rather than eLVL attributes.
