Second tab of the editor

Fields

Field Editor

Using the [Create Field] button, you can create and paint fields. Fields can be used to push creeper around in localized areas on top of the global gravity.

To create a field, you must first create a new field container by pressing the [Create Field] button. This will create a default field container in the middle of the map, and a new UI element will be placed to allow you to edit the properties of the new field.

Inputs 1 and 2 will let you change the size of the field container. Changing the size will delete the fields inside, so make sure you set the proper size first.

You can move the location of the field container by moving your mouse over it, then holding both CTRL and ALT at the same time, then moving your mouse to the desired location. You can paint and erase fields in the field container using the Field option when choosing a brush type in the previous tab Map Editing. The presence of a field is signified with either an arrow (in case of Vector fields) or a small square (in case of Pin fields).

Button 3 toggles the field container on/off.
Button 4 selects which creeper types are affected by this field (C, AC, Both).
Button 5 sets the field type. When selected, the fields inside this container become Pin type. Pin fields trap creeper in place. When deselected, the fields become Vector type. Vector fields push creeper in a direction, the direction and strength of which can be selected when painting fields with the Field brush.
Button 6 lets you toggle whether or not the field arrows should be visible to the player during gameplay.
Button 7 lets you delete this field container.
