If your map has become very large or very complex then you may want to split it into separate sections, especially if the game has separate chapters which are played in different worlds that are issolated from each other.

Having separate maps is also useful when parts of your map are at different scales, for example when you have a street map that leads into buildings, the space taken by all of the indoor rooms would cause your outdoor locations to be a very long way apart.

Creating a new page

To create a new map page, right-click on the "Page 1" tab at the bottom of the map to show its context menu:

  • Rename Page - This lets you give each page a name instead of the default "Page 1" etc.
  • Add Page - Creates a new blank map page.

Linking between pages

If the two maps are completely separate then you could use a task to move the player to a location on the new map when it is time to start that chapter of the game.

Another option is to have a magic word that uses a task to move the player between Locations on different pages.

IN and OUT

If your new map page is for the inside of a building, then you can link the two by adding the appropriate IN and OUT destinations to the directions page of the two Locations that are to be linked together.
