Setup

It can happen that PEd2 uses different variables for object transformations than you have in your project. Before starting to use PEd2, we recommend you to check if the variables are matching, otherwise you would not be able to use the editor. To do so, go to script PEd_Macros and you should see a short list of macros that substitute for variable names.

Macro	Description
`PEd_POS_X`	Instance position on X axis.
`PEd_POS_Y`	Instance position on Y axis.
`PEd_POS_Z*`	Instance position on Z axis.
`PEd_ROT_X*`	Instance rotation around X axis.
`PEd_ROT_Y*`	Instance rotation around Y axis.
`PEd_ROT_Z`	Instance rotation around Z axis.
`PEd_SCALE_X`	Instance scale on X axis.
`PEd_SCALE_Y`	Instance scale on Y axis.
`PEd_SCALE_Z*`	Instance scale on Z axis.
`PEd_COLOR`	Instance color.
`PEd_ALPHA`	Instance alpha.

These variables are automatically saved into level files. Any other additional variable has to be written into instance's creation code. Writing variables into the creation code is done in PEd_InstanceAutocompleteCode and their loading in PEd_VariableAssign.

* - Additional variables, necessary only for 3D transformations. If you are using PEd2 for creating 2D levels, you can leave these constants as they are.
