From Beginner to Expert

The Advanced section will introduce some advanced functions and operations in BME Pro.

Advanced

In this Advanced section, we will introduce:

• The functions and usage of each tool in the editor's Tools tab.

• Some advanced operation techniques for the Assets panel and its sub-items: the Scenes, Items, Meshes, Textures, Materials, and Audios panels.

• The functions and usage of each component in Scene Settings.

• The functions and usage of each component in an Item.

Reading Suggestions

• The topics in this section are largely independent. You can look up and learn the specific content you need while mapping.

• Some content may involve knowledge of other software. For example, the mesh system will involve operations in modeling software, so please ensure you have a basic understanding of related topics.

• After completing this section, you will be able to create complex items and decorations, and build maps with a unique style.

Data Types

The data types that may be involved in this section are:

• int: Integer data type, e.g., 123, 456.
• float: Floating-point data type, e.g., 3.14, 2.71.
• string: String data type, e.g., "Hello World", "".
• bool: Boolean data type, e.g., true, false.
• enum: Enumeration data type.
  • If the number of enumerations is small, they will be written directly in the form Enum A | Enum B | Enum C.
• Float2: 2D float vector data type.
  • Has two components: x and y.
  • For ease of writing, Float2 data will be abbreviated as (x, y), omitting unnecessary decimal points, e.g., (1, 2).
  • In the editor, this type often describes a range, where x represents the minimum value and y represents the maximum value.
• Float3: 3D float vector data type.
  • Has three components: x, y, and z.
  • For ease of writing, Float3 data will be abbreviated as (x, y, z), omitting unnecessary decimal points, e.g., (1, 2, 3).
• Float4: 4D float vector data type.
  • Has four components: x, y, z, and w.
  • For ease of writing, Float4 data will be abbreviated as (x, y, z, w), omitting unnecessary decimal points, e.g., (1, 2, 3, 4).
• Quaternion: Quaternion data type.
  • Has four components: x, y, z, and w.
  • For ease of writing, Quaternion data will be abbreviated as (x, y, z, w), omitting unnecessary decimal points, e.g., (0, 0, 0, 1).
• Bool3: 3D boolean vector data type.
  • Has three components: x, y, and z.
  • For ease of writing, Bool3 data will be abbreviated as (x, y, z), e.g., (true, false, true).
• Trans: Transform data type.
  • Has three components: pos, rot, and scl.
  • pos represents position, rot represents rotation, and scl represents scale. All are of Float3 type.
• ColorRGBA: Color data type.
  • Has four components: r, g, b, and a.
  • The r, g, b components represent the red, green, and blue components of the color, while the a component represents the color's opacity. All are float types with a range from 0 to 1.
  • For ease of writing, ColorRGBA data will be abbreviated as (r, g, b, a), omitting unnecessary decimal points, e.g., (1, 1, 1, 1).

TIP

In this section, types such as Item, Mesh, Texture, Material, Audio, and Script are references or paths to their corresponding resources. Their actual type is string.
