Maps: Environment

 General  Change Music: This is used to change the current Music when the player enters the Map. If a piece of Music is already playing, the Music will be replaced with whatever is selected in the drop down menu. Selecting ‘(None)’ will prevent the current Music from changing. When you select a piece of Music from the drop down menu, it will automatically play so that you can preview it.

Free camera from edge of map: This option will release the camera from the edge of the Map so that it can freely pan in any direction without stopping when it encounters a Map boundary. If unticked, the camera will stop at the edges of the map.

  Background  Upper Color: This changes the top half of the background color.

Lower Color: This changes the bottom half of the background color.

When two different colors are used for the upper/lower color they will blend into each other as a gradient in order to create a subtle transition between the two colors.

  Edit Parallax Backgrounds and Foregrounds  Layer: You can change the order in which your Sprites are displayed by using the up/down buttons to push layers further towards the top or bottom respectively. Sprites above 'Map Scene' will be displayed in the background whereas Sprites below 'Map Scene' will be displayed in the foreground.
