How to build multilap in custom trackbuilder?
Is it possible in easy/normal build option or must I learn the advanced editor?

Excuse me if this is posted wrong.

No problem.
There are different special blocks, and they have additional helper colors in the display.
Start is typically green, Finish is red. Checkpoints are blue.
The multilap block is a start and a finish at the same time, it has yellow help color, and it is located nearby Start and Finish blocks.

Sorry for beeing an idiot, but I can't find it. It's usually two types of Finish(red) in each enviroment, and three Starts(Green). Witch one?

Do you know how to change a block in the middle of a own custom track/map without delete all blocks to it?
Hope you know how I mean. I'm bad at explaining and my English is worse..

Feel free to add me on Trackmania Turbo [PS4], my nick is same as here, xnkpgbmx :)

It would appear that you are using the SIMPLE editor. In that one, you cannot edit the middle - you will need to "undo" the construction all the way to the problematic spot.

Hi,

The multilap block is only available in the advanced editor. You will unfortunately have to learn how to use it, but with the tutorials after a while you should be able to use it easily :)

Regards

It would have been great if the tutorials were already part of the game. After all you had long time to develop and to test it. Why is there nearly no documentation? :?

xnkpgbmx, sorry, I don't have PS4. Using Pc only.

On box versions of the game there's no tutorial ? (there was a little in TMUF for example)

Good question, I only have the download version ( pre-ordered).

There seems to be a misunderstanding : By tutorials I meant the ingame boxes that pop when creating a track (in French they are referred to as "didacticiel"). They explain in detail what you can do the first time and if you missed one, you can always catch them again with the "see tutorial again" option in the menu.

The content of these boxes vary depending on the device you are using. TMarc might get instructions for keyboard/mouse or controller depending on which one he is using when building the track. For xnkpgbmx's case you will have the ps4-specific instructions.

I hope this helps!
