Set Event Dialog

Jazz Creation Station Help Set Event Dialog | | Index |

The animating tiles properties dialog allows you to change the way in which an animating tile is displayed.

| Event selection You can pick an event from this list. The events are logically grouped to make it easy to find events.

Generator flag
If you select this flag, you will create a generator for the event you choose instead of the event itself. A generator is an event that periodically generates another event. It is commonly used in multiplayer levels to create regenerating (ie. respawning) items, pickups, etc. If you create a generator for a different event, the event that is generated will use its default parameters.

Illuminate surroundings flag
You can use this check-box to toggle the status of the illuminate surroundings flag. When the illuminate surroundings flag is set and the selected event supports this flag, the object that is spawned by the event will emit light in dark levels.

Difficulty level
You can select a difficulty level for each event. On the normal settings, the event is always active, independant of the difficulty level at which the level is played. If you select Easy or Hard, the event will only be active on those difficulty levels. The Only Multiplayer setting will cause objects only to appear in multiplayer games.

Event parameters
Some events take parameters. Depending on the event you select, you can set the values of up to 8 parameters here. Mostly the parameter names will help you determine what the use of the parameters will be. Range checking is performed to ensure that the specified parameters are in the correct range. If you are unsure about the function of a specific event, trial and error is the way to find out. There is no documentation of all of the different event parameters.
