Introduction
A big problem that often occurs during KMP setting is putting points in specific places or giving them an order; these problems can be solved thanks to the tool for Google SketchUp Point Gadget.
This tutorial will show how to place points, get a list and import that list in KMP Cloud; the example shows the objects dokan_sfc placed at the centre of six hexagons, but it works also with all the others types of points (start points, respawns, route points…).
Step 1: Shoot points
From the Plug-in menu of SketchUp select Point Gadget, from there Shoot Points and place how many points you want and where you want; at the end you should see something like shown in the picture.
Step 2: Get the list
To get the list of points placed and their coordinates just select Point Gadget and Point Report.
Step 3: Copy, paste and switch
Now you have to copy and paste the list to a Microsoft Word document as shown in the picture; CLEAR SELECTION, Type, PointID and Feature columns are useless and they must be cancelled; now substitute all dots with commas and switch Y and Z columns.
Step 4: Define object and paste
In KMP Cloud, create one point of what you want (in this case the object dokan_sfc), then go back to the Microsoft Word document and cut the coordinates as shown in the Picture 1; now in KMP Cloud select the three coordinates of the point you defined (like in the Picture 2) and paste them with CTRL+V: the result is shown in the Picture 3; now delete the point you defined at the beginning.
Step 5: Scale
In KMP Cloud coordinates are switched from SketchUp (for this we switched Y and Z columns), but the Z column is also symmetrized, so the signs of all values need to be changed; this problem can be easily solved using the Scale option of KMP Cloud: with the right-clicking select Scale and set these values as shown in the picture: 1, 1, -1.
Step 6: Test in-game
The procedure is finished, now you only have to save and test in-game if everything is correct; the picture shows the result of this tutorial.
