What parts of staredit of SCXE are so unused that they really dont have nay reason to be there?
I can think of a few
1. Rarely use toggle in switch usage
2. The terrain pallete that pops up when you start.
3. The "Go to start location" under "Player" option
4. The Entire"Window" pop down menu
Anything i miss?

1. I use the switch toggle for certain types of option becaons. It saves triggers!
2. I use that too.
3. Its not useless on bigger maps where you dont know where certain players are mining from or whichever. Besides, learn the hotkey and you're faster
4. What is this?

why post this? it wont be updated anytime soon, maybe even never, but to answer:
1. toggle is very useful, instead of maknig this:
condition:
switch 1 is clear
action:
set switch 1
presearve triggger();
switch 1 is set
action:
clearswitch 1
presearve triggger();
to this:
condition:
always();
action:
TOGGLE switch 1
presearve triggger();
saves a trigger.
2. i use that when im liek placing doodads, so idont have to go back and forth, just click the terrain then it swtiched to terrain, click doodads, it swtiches to doodads.
3. i use that if a map is really cluttered.
4. never seen that.

He means when you click 'Window' on the toolbar, all the functions in there that you can select in the submenu useless.

I think the most useless thing is... hmmmm.
Probably the fog of war layer. I have NEVER used it

That was like the first thing I used when I discovered map making, I like painted in fog of war, it was so "cool"...

Nothing useless. I think,
I use everything!
Probably the least thing I used was the resize window, I always have it on full screen.

i have to agree with Oo.Skillz.oO. Fog of war layer is useless

Fog of war lets you see specific parts of a map. I use it alot.
Everything on StarEdit has a function.
The most pointless is the terrain thingy.

I disagree. I have a map where certain parts of the map are revealed at some times and some parts at others. I want to FoW to be even so I reveal it all. Then I don't need to go through the trouble of revealing the entire map at the beginning and removing all the map revealers in the game with triggers.[right][snapback]198862[/snapback][/right]

Fog of war isn't used in more recent games, but look at older games like Zone Control, if it wern't for FoW, that wouldn't be as nice looking.

You should have figured that out.
also, january isn't that much long ago. (I released Bomb Tag then, it heavily uses it)

"Window" menu is useless because you cant have multiple maps open like SF
Report, edit, etc...Posted by O)FaRTy1billion on 2005-05-13 at 16:17:33
Thoes of you who said "Window" menu, it is not for opening multiple maps. "Close all views" "close current view" "Open new view" its to look at your map from different spots at the same time. I am using it right now.
EDIT:
Here is a screen shot of what you can do with it. (I have two windows open in it with "Tile Vertically")
[attachmentid=8873]
Best if used on a larger screen res. 800x600 is almost too tiny to do much.
