Editor: Tips and tricks

Introduction

This guide don't want to be an Editor tutorial. You should study the basics from the official tutorial. I just do this to explain some small tricks.

Openable book

In the Editor there is no openable book. So if you want to give a hint (or a written clue) to the players, you just put it on a simple piece of paper. But if you want the player to open a book and check different pages, this tutorial will help you:

Puzzle in inventory

In the official rooms, sometimes player should put something (eg a key or a tool) together in the inventory. This short tutorial helps you to do the same in your room.

Screwdriver with modular heads

In this video I built a locker with two different screw hold the door. The player can pick up a screwdriver and two different heads. He can change the heads in his inventory and use the correct heads on the correct screw will open that part. And when both is unlocked, then the locker will open.

Thanks for your tutorials. I'm new to the Editor and figuring things out.

Could you probably give me a hint how to make a pickable flashlight?

I used a model (Telescope from the Steampunk-DLC), added a Lightsource (Logic), put it into place and made the telescope the Parent, the Lightsource is the Child.
So far so good, it works fine as long as I don't have it in my Hand. As soon as it's in my Hand the light is gone. When I drop it again, the Light disappears.

Tried the same with an "Effect", same issue.

Thanks a lot in advance!
