Mapmodels. Numbers, and Name List

[DEKiMA]

An alternative:

While being in edit mode move close the the blue sparkle which indicates an entity, until it turns orange, which means it's "selected". Now keep pressing either 1, 2, 3 or 4 (not on the keypad) and scroll with the mousewheel. This will change the 4 entity-parameters.

For instance [mapmodel a, b, c ,d]:

a = orientation
b = number of mapmodel according to the current map's config file
c = elevation aboth ground
d = applied texture

This way you can place any mapmodel (/newent mapmodel 1, which could be bound to a shortkey) and scroll through until you've got what you've been looking for.

Though of course, having a list printed off next to you will do the trick as well. :)

Thanks Floppy! I didn't know about changing things orientation like that. That's very useful.
