After a few hours using the editor I have some suggestions to try to improve it. It may already be in the editor and I haven´t known use, in which case apologies;)
1 - I can only connect 20 events a hidden pressure plate, from there the screen does not move
2 - would be interesting to add an option in the dungeon alcove to only work with a particular object, eliminating the script, as it is used quite
3 - should be available the option of connecting to hit a certain number of doors to an event such as a lever or button

Why on earth would you need a pressure plate connected to 20 different things?
The alcove option would be nice, I suppose.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by article number three.

there is a script in the script repository that can take the place of many connections
Useful scripts repository
so that one is already taken care of, though having a scroll bar in the editor is still on the "wishlist"

I´ll try to explain my 3rd point:
When you have 20 close doors( remenber, my dungeon is crazy) and you have to close all of them you have to do one by one. It would be interesting selecting 20 and close all of them at a time

The problem with working on such large scales is that it creates strain. Both on the computer and the mind's capacity to process what exactly is happening and how they should react.

I don't think that would be a big problem.

Try doing it per script, not per connectors.
You would have to name all doors similarly e.g. myDoor_1 to myDoor_20
Then you connect a switch (or whatever) to the following script:
Code: Select all
function closeThemDoors()
for i=1,20 do
findEntity("myDoor_"..i):close()
end
end

One other solution you could have is having multiple pressure plates on the same square.
They will be activated at the same time
