This is a serious bug, as it prevents associating doors to orbs.

1. Place a yellow door.
2. Click on it to edit its agents .
3. An orb will appear under the door and lightning shoots out following the cursor, however it won't disappear.

While this is great for making pretty patterns it makes it very tricky to edit levels. You can still go on but the room becomes full of lightning strikes which cannot be seen.

Oh, and the lightning still isn't transparent, but that's not quite so major.

Yep, cool fractal patterns but that is not what most people are looking for. Into the bug list it goes.

Thanks!

It'll be fixed in build 21.
(Clicking on doors to select which orbs act on them requires writing a hefty amount of code, and I'll probably only get around to adding this new functionality once all the bugs are hammered out.)

Since Mike's busy pounding out the bugs, I went ahead and added this. I believe I finally got it working - it should be in the next build.

In the process, I got to know the editor code a little better, hopefully I'll be more useful fixing bugs now.

Yeah, after Schik's baptism by fire (heh heh), he's moving all around the editor like a maniac. Everyone (especially Eytan and Clayton, by the sound of it) should enjoy clicking on doors and selecting all the orbs that will act on them in build 21.

By the way - I need new text in the DB for my tooltip - I'm using the same one used for the orbs, but it says to click on doors where mine should say to click on orbs. I didn't know how to add one though... What all do I need to do?

Hmmm... never mind - looks like you already took care of it. Crazy.
