Select a rectangular range to move part of maps

Hello,

I am sorry when this idea is already suggested, but I couldnt find it.

My friend visited me and I explained him Trackmania. When we were at the editor, he wanted to create a map.

After he finished his map he drove it and he crashed against a wall ( it was too deep) and he wanted to change the height. He asked me how he can mark/select a whole part of the map and I said, thats not possible.

So my suggestion


you can select a rectangular range by using your mouse while holding down the CTRL key ( for example )to draw a rectangle around the range. Then you can change the height or move it. I think thats a very important editor function.

I am interested about your opinion :)


Regards

Max

Olivier is working on the track editor (making a selection, copying it or saving it, moving it).
Jseb just included light information in map files in order to guarantee each player to have it.
Stephen, Massimo and Bertrand are working on a new road, wall ride, ramps and tunnels at the moment.

Chevron's idea is good, but he's wrong about 1 thing (and this thing is related to what tcq and sebik said): there should be a something, on which we could base on, I mean, there should be something like a background, but different and poor.

Btw, the "high" you were talking about on-topic is called "height".

I think TM editor is really good and easy to use but... this is the only lack i noticed more then once so far.

Would be a great improvement. Sometimes is annoying when (as your friend) you build a whole part of track and then you have to rebuilt all over cause there is no more space or something.
