| Making Walkable
Areas: having our player starts in
there are all fine and dandy but, without any walkable areas, were not going to get very
far now are we? So, we need to make the floor walkable. Ok, before we get
started, make sure nothing is selected so click in the X-Y Screen once and press ESC
Now that nothing is selected were gonna need to get where
we can see the floor again, so press the C key a couple times till you see the floor in
the camera view window

Once you can see the floor, hold down shift and click the
floor in the camera view window. This should select the floor for you, so you should
see a red covering your floor in the camera view again.

Ok, now we need to make it walkable, so Click the Menu
option Selection, and move down the menu to where it says "Mark Walkable" like
below:

once you click it, your selection will no longer be
selected. If you want to make sure your section is marked as walkable, do the
following.
First lets look back up at the menu, select the menu option View, and go down the
list till you find "Layers" and click it, a box like the following will pop up.
Click the section tab on it marked "View Options" like in the picture
below

Now if you look at the box, you will see a box there next
to Walkable, check it, click apply, and then close. When looking at your map in The
Camera View Screen you will notice that your floor now apears as green. This means
the floor is set to walkable.

one more thing to do before we compile our map, yep, the
all troublesome sectors... so save your map, and move on to the next tutorial |
