I am just starting to learn the Silent 3ditor, I know "another pain in the butt". I am copying folders from subs and trying to learn what everything is. Some makes sense, some "NO clue".
But I do have a simple question, I read in a post where someone was told to "add a node and name it XXXXXX" and then explained from there. I tried adding a node by right clicking and adding a node but it does not give the option to name it. So if I just had the 'basic' info for using the program, then by reading post and looking at other peoples work I might be able to figure this out.
I have already exported and imported a 3D object (doesn't sound like much to you "pros" but it was a start).
But the question: how do you name a node?

Some objects, like controllers have a name field on the right hand side in the property section and this will name the controller. Other nodes you have to add a 'label' node and set the parent of the label to be the ID of the node you are trying to name, then you can edit the label and it will label the node.

Thanks Nisgeis,
Now I am all ready to go screw up this game!!:rotfl:
And to make it the parent I copy the node ID and paste into the Parent ID of the label, right?
