Few discovered "hidden" DMA editor shortcuts

[B-$hep]

I just discovered few shortcuts in DMA editor.

The first are: Q and A, if you hold down the any of them for longer period then
you can decrese / increase size (height) of buildings or any map element, basically it cuts off Z level blocks or adds the back.

Second one is: Shift+Ctrl + C

Press Shift+Ctrl at the same time then C. Camera info window will appear at the right side of editor window.

Just messed with it yesterday and discovered them.

This is pretty common keys as far as I know. Useful for hiding or showing Z level - good for working on slopes inside buildings etc or fiddly tiles.

Second one is: Shift+Ctrl + C

Press Shift+Ctrl at the same time then C. Camera info window will appear at the right side of editor window.

Now that one I didn't know about - pitty it doesn't seem that useful though

I knew that Ctrl+Q moved selector UP by one block, but i didn't know that Ctrl+A moves it down also.

I always wondered how the hell i could access Z:0.
Now i know: with Ctrl+A.


Just discovered accidentally.

It lets you move them higher than standard selection as well. I haven't tested if that's stable in-game.

Would be good to know, then we can make skyscrapers a bit nearer the sky! Also means higher altitudes can still have decent sized building.

Ctrl+Q lets you move selection to Z-Level 6, while Alt+A moves selection (and its tiles) to Z-Level 7 but if you actually move tiles they will disappear at level 7, but the Block Info still shows the block tiles at left and if you alt+a them back the tiles will show up again, and also it still says its a block set to pavement/field/road or w/e you set but you cant teleport to that block and it isn't visible in game either
