=== Adding objects ===
Objects can be added from Type tree window. You can open it from '''View > Type tree'''. Use the Search field to find the objects you are looking for. Most of the time objects you want to use are located under '''TypeRoot/InstanceBase/Entity'''. Also remember to deselect any selected objects in Type tree before searching again.

Finding the right object from the type tree can be quite tricky if you don't know the exact name of the object. A good way to start is to copy them from existing maps.

To test your changes in editor press green play button to start the level or blue play button to start from camera position.
