Build/Mapster32 Keyboard Commands

Usage of Mouse

The purpose of mouse in 3D mode is pointing on some objects in a map and looking around(F3-mouselook).

Mouse pointer always points(see info about it at the bottom of the screen) at one of these object:
1. wall
2. ceiling of sector
3. floor of sector
4. sprite
5. masked wall (non-transparent or semi-transparent wall between sectors)

It's important to understand this concept:
Some commands work differently depending on the current object(the object the mouse points at).
Some commands manipulate only with current object, and some commands manipulate with sprites/sectors selected(hereinafter referred to as "selected") in 2D mode, and some commands work globally.

Mouse buttons:
LEFT lock the current object. The current object won't be changing as long as the button pressed.
WHELL change tile
LEFT+MIDDLE toggle mouse look
MIDDLE+WHELL change shade/visibility (see the 3D keys section for modifier keys)
RIGHT+WHELL move object up/down (see the 3D keys section for modifier keys)
