======Map Editor======
----

=====Overview=====
The Map Editor is where everything comes together. You will use this editor to build your game world using the tiles, objects, and characters that you've created in the [[Voxel Editor]]. There are three different "modes" available in the Map Editor:
  * **Place**: This mode is used to place tiles, objects, and characters into the map.
  * **Edit**: This mode is used for making modifications to existing tiles, objects and characters, for example, to delete or rotate a tile, attach a script to an object, add dialogue to a character, etc.
  * **Connect**: This mode is use to add, remove, or edit [[navigation_and_interaction|navigation paths]] between tiles.
