Entity Documentation is not correct.
Posted: 2019-03-21, 03:13
Hello,
I'm trying to follow the instructions here:
https://docs.cafu.de/mapping:cawe:editi ... :newentity
to create entities, specifically a player start, so I can run around and test a quick little map I made (basic room with a sky and a few lights).
Problem is, the instructions on that page are not reflected in the editor at all. It's not even close.
Pressing Shift+E does nothing.
If I click on the New Entity button on the top bar, there is no drop down that appears for me to pick the entity type. I have to click on a "Components" drop-down menu instead.
Further, I seem unable to get a working player added to test the map.
When I compile/run the map, it compiles fine, and runs the engine fine.. I open the map and all I get is a black screen with the words: "Receiving Entity Baselines....."
It never goes anywhere from there.
So, the documentation seems to be out of sync with the binary release you have on the site.
Also, it seems I need to have both a Player Start entity, *and* a HumanPlayer entity in the map. I figured that out, but do they have to be connected, or associated in some way? Do they have to accompany the same spot in the map?
Thanks for any help.
