Automatic Turn-Line-Entry Creation
——————————————-
A little help with the ‘easy’ method of creating moves.

If you press StartMove, then turn your Palette without moving it, then press EndMove

Then press DumpMove, you now get a skeletal turn-line produced for you: Below I typed in 90 in the edit menu z rotation box …and got:

[17:41:54] ArtistePalette_01_A: M01_A,2.000000,Turn,90.000000,none,0

You still have to enter pause time and animation and tweak the time if not entered using the menu.

Reduced Button-Presses for Easy-Method (Palette Menu) Mover creation

You can now move a palette, press EndMove and DumpMove
It now stores the EndMove in the StartMove so you dont have to always press StartMove
It assumes you want to start from where your EndMove was.

Of course you can still press StartMove, EndMove, DumpMove
and the old/current way will still work

PlayFromHere

After quickly advancing Palette in design mode to a move no.
There is a new OptionButton2 that can be PlayFromHere or ChooseMove.

And this is the LAST new feature created before the new release of RC4

scheduled for Dec 1st.
