Trouble with the Maps?

celaenasard · July 2015

Hey, so I'm having a few problems with the Foundry, and all are based on the maps. I'm new to it, so I was wondering if I could request some help from more experienced creators...?
The first problem is the smallest one: I want my exit door for Protectors Enclave, where my quest begins, to be one of the city gates. I don't particularly care which one, but it won't let me pick any of them-- all I can use is... well... everything else. Barrels, sewers, hell, even haystacks, but none of those make sense for my quest and I can't seem to get any of the gates as my map transition.
The second problem is the placement of items. They just don't seem to go where I want them to. I try to place an identical door on top of another one (ex. I'm using the map from the Wizard's Folly quest and I need one of the buildings to be an Inn) as they always move somewhere else. They still match up with the grid, so I just can't figure out how to move things to where I want them to.
Finally is the biggest problem, which is creating custom maps on the whole. I just can't figure it out. I can't place anything in them, from NPC's to tables. I just don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone can offer me!

Also, all of a sudden I can't access the Foundry at all. I'm getting the same error: "The Foundry becomes available once you progress a character to level 15.", despite the fact that I have two characters, one of which is lvl30 and the other lvl26.

put a check in "use overworld map" for the map transition and you wont have to select the start object

place objects in the 3D editor mode (hit play on the top right of the map screen) to get them where you want them (lots of options for moving things in 3d)

custom outdoor map? i think once you work with the 3d editor you'll have more luck ;D
