The lowest height is 0, the highest is 255. | | | | If you don’t specify a desired height in HeightBitmap, it will go to the default. Default = 100. | | Choose the units for world width and height. The default is 5. 1 = 512 meters, which means 5 * 512 = 2560 meters. This unit (5) is also related to the number of number of pieces the world has. 5 * 5 means that the input is divided in 25 landscape folders. A file named *.lnd will be made, divided into 25 files. 512 refers to 512 square meters. | | | Expresses an indoor setting. No local support. |

There are, however, distinctions inSaint Morning. If you die in Saint Morning, you may be closer to a spawn pointin a different area, which will cause you to be warped there even though you’re in Saint Morning.. To avoid issueslike this, use the Target Key feature. The target key causes a check for theKey Target, then the closest revival point. If Target Key is on, the distanceshould be disregarded and only Key target should be held accountable. You willbe spawned at Key target (Saint Morning). See the picture below for a betterexplanation. file:///C:/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image063.gif You’ll notice that the closest spawn point to the character is inFlaris, but since the character is in Saint Morning and Target Key is on, thecharacter is sent to the spawn point in Saint Morning. ⑦ There are several Regions that are currently not in use. 다) Region Attribute ID | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Safe territory.
