.:How to Move things from map to map in Entity:.
Things you will need:
-Entity (Any version will work, but I will be using 1.3.0).
-A map you want the new object in.
-A map you want to take an object from.
Pre-requisites:
-Not fail at life.
Steps:
1. Open the map you want to take something from in Entity.
2. Navigate to the object you want to move into another map, and double click it.
3. The, check the Recursive, parsed, and sounds check boxes on the right.
4. Now, click save, and make a new folder, to save the object in.
5. Click ok, then wait for a box coming up saying done.
6. Then, open up the map you want to put the object in.
7. Press the build button in the bottom right corner, and navigate to the folder you saved the object in.
8. Then double click on the .info file. The application should disable (you can't press anything) for a little bit, then a box should come up saying done.
9. Congratulations, you are done =D.
Hope this helped you guys out!

i'd advise looking at the spawning working mach's tutorial as well, because you neglect to mention how to get the mach's working in the map without the map crashing
as you see in the working mach's tutorial, it says exactly what you have to do in order to get the mach to work and not corrupt the map

This wasn't a tuorial about how to spawn machs, it actually didn't have anything to do with machs. The mach was an example I used. It was simply how to use entity to add objects to other maps. I happened to use a mach to move from one map to another.

then next time, dont insist on using something like a mach, because there is much more than moving it from map to map to get it to work on the map you are moving it to

I talked to someone the other day that didn't know how to add new objects to different maps. HE just used insolence, and I told him it was bad, and I decided to make this tutorial.

When it comes to shaders (the most common thing I transfer) a simple drag and drop from one map to the next has never failed. Bigger things, though, can have troubles with this.
Good tutorial, though. Sometimes e get so used to doing things that we overlook the fact that new people still need a foundation. This tutorial will, no doubt, help many people out. Good work, man!

Just tried it, and it didn't work. I have NOT failed at life either.
I did exactly as was written. I wanted to move a modded battle rifle from one map to the all my maps. After building, it says done, then when I look at the battle rifle, it is still the same. Nothing changed.
I don't think it's possible to do this with pre-existing objects.

Did you move the battlerifle from your modded map? If you did it should have all the properties, try it again to make sure it doesnt work

Stop riding his dick..I am sorry but you are to serious about a tutorial that is clearly..and was posted and stated in the topics name:

That's what irks me, because I don't know how to add my new item into the map at all, let alone without crashing it. Hell even *I* could drag new objects from one map to another without this tut. If I could learn how to add them physically into the map, I would gladly made an addendum to this tut explaining it.
