Problem[edit | edit source]
Sometimes, you may want to move a specific reference (or set of references) from one location to another. For example, you might have a script or quest that points to a marker, and you want to move that marker to a different cell without breaking anything.
Cut/Paste and Copy/Paste don't work well in this situation, since the Paste process creates a duplicate of the content on the clipboard. To actually move the reference, you need to use the Move Render process.
Solution[edit | edit source]
1. Select the reference(s) you want to move.
2. Copy them (CTRL+C).
3. Find the location you want to move them to.
4a. Move them (CTRL+M).
4b. Move them, and preserve their X/Y/Z coordinates (CTRL+SHIFT+M).
5. Confirm that you want to move the references.
The references you copied should now be in the new location.
If you used CTRL+M you'll need to drag the references into their final positions.
Exceptions[edit | edit source]
Not all item types will work properly with this process. These item types are listed below:
- Any item in the MovableStatic category.
- Any MiscItem such as gold, buckets, baskets, etc. If it is moveable by the player, it won't work.
- Light emission sources such as the invisible bulbs or static wall torches.
- Any item in the Potion category. This also includes all food items.
- Any item in the Ingredient category.
- Some references referenced by scripts. This is not consistent, so you'll need to test these individually.
