eaiser way to copy+paste

[Xtife]

heyas

is there an eaiser way to copy+paste stuff? im having hard time doing it, cus the sectors i paste are broken and i have to tell some linedefs that there facing into the sectors i pasted it near

sometimes, a solid wall becomes unsolid
and i have no way to make it solid again
without redoing the sector

my map is a total mess atm, i have to remap the whole thing cus i was copy and pasting stuff. could someone look at it and tell me when if there is a feature in doom builder already to fix it, or prevent it from happening?

Select the unsolid line. Edit its properties. Add the impassable flag and take away the double sided flag. Switch to the sidedef view and take away the second sidedef.

still doesnt help my other problem tho

Take a hint from Halo: don't make maps by copying and pasting.

[Xtife]

there must be some way you more experinced mappers do it tho

lets say im trying to create some sectors for lighting for a lamp thing

then i want to make the exact same for the next lamp, if i dont copy+paste. its going to be somewhat different. im a very symmetrical mapper :p i always make sure if i make 2 or more of one thing, that they are exactly the same size

and its sometimes hard to do that at a small grid size. maybe i need grid numbers
or a ruler or something in doom builder

Perhaps using prefabs would help.

Prefabs!! i almost forgot about that
is there a good resource for prefabs at all?

Yeah you can find some of the in the archive. I dont like to use them because I like to create my own structures and taking them from other people seems wrong.
