...Did anyone else miss these world editor tutorials?

Thanks Dave.

THAT is awesome, thanks Moo!

I'll get Dave to post what documentation we have on our lua functions somewhere. You might find some other stuff to play with there.

Have you tried them in a really simple form yet? Most of the tutorial worlds have empty scripts files that you could try tossing them into. I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the position in the file itself makes a huge difference for the raw functions. Now, what's in the function, it might matter whether it's first or last, but outside of that, I'd toss in one of those functions and see if it works.

Edit:
On a separate note, could we get some more info on the world editor's basic stuff in general? For example:

F1 & F2 are pretty straightforward, but is there a way to alter -1 to toss in multiple layers at once?
How does F7 work, exactly? Does it set starting positions?
How does P work? It places water, but does changing the value do anything?

What does the information in the upper right convey? Map position coordinates, layer info, number of layers? Not sure what 0202 is supposed to mean...

Thanks if you take the time to clarify! =)

Tips: I will keep adding to this
Script.LUA
-----
Function OnPreload(context) --good for configuring cards at start.
    GiveCard("card_....")
End

function onTempleComplete(context) --This is good for giving things but the card sit on top of the column even after you've given it
    if TempleUID(context) == 1030 then --
        GiveCard("Card_AbodeType1_Rank1")
        Unlock("Card_AbodeType1_Rank1_COMPLETED")
    end
end

Carddata.csv

You can turn off sticker costs, make them instantly complete Research Needed=0! Who needs stickers

Unlocks.csv
----------
Card_.....,always #great for debugging!

Templepositions.csv
-----------
You can insert shrine_godpower for a little column that disappears after it is built
Shrine_BigTreasure can give cards! Shrine_LandExp are beacons.

Spawning a champ is as simple as

SpawnThing("champion", x, y, 0,0,0,0,0)

Not sure about DisplayText(), not seen it used in any of our scripts. It probably works, but you may need to do some bit of trial and error with the variables to discover with ranges produce something visible.

You should be able to achieve what you need with tooltips though

Many thanks Moo.

Symmetry tool notes:
Left click to set the length/width of the area you're going to copy over to the left/right/above/below, then right click to highlight the terrain you want duplicated on the opposite side. If you highlight the area to the right, it'll duplicate on the left of the initial length/width line that was set (it remains visible), highlight to the left, appears on the right.

This would work the same for horizontal swaths of land, so highlighting above duplicates below, below duplicates above. Hope that makes sense.

Should note, unfortunately the highlighted area doesn't remain active when you switch to raise/lower or any other tools, so it's not like you can fill in the selected area and expect it to appear simultaneously above/left or below/right of it. Nevertheless it may be pretty useful. =O

Start position notes:
This sets the position of the first two followers, and seems entirely dependent on the amount of little blue squares you lay out. So if you lay out multiple spots, they'll only spawn in one location, which is wherever you've set the largest amount of blue squares designating it as the start position. With that being the case, it's best to only use this where you want the user to start, as it doesn't seem to affect anything else's spawn-in positioning.

Arrrrggghhhhh we got SetWheat and SetOre but appear to be missing a way to get wheat amount and get ore amount like we have belief() unless you can get it a different way? Can you add those or let me know how to access those? pavlemihajlovic mrdrpink

Edit: just read this back and it may have come across as demanding, not intended was more frustration that I didn't ask for those originally too. Many thanks for adding the new functions!

Edit2: figured it out, onwheatchange/onorechange and persisting the context. Done, working on my next custom world release, look out for spiderworld1.3 coming soon, Got 39 subscribers on 1.2 wow! Wish workshop update worked properly.
