Main Toolbar

Menus

File

This menu has options for loading and saving your plug-in, as well as exporting and importing data. It also contains the preferences link.

Edit

Undo/Redo, Copy/Paste and other essential functions live here, which we will mostly access via Hotkeys.

View

Options here largely control how the Render Window behaves, and will be useful during more complex tasks.

World

This menu collects many tools for manipulating aspects of the game world.

NavMesh

Users familiar with Fallout 3's GECK will remember navmesh, our central tool for AI navigation through an environment. This menu holds our various tools for creating and manipulating this valuable functionality.

Character

These tools are mostly for the manipulation of character behavior and beyond the scope of this initial tutorial.

Gameplay

These advanced settings can have game-wide effects and are also beyond the scope of this tutorial.
