Hi again, i ave a couple of questions about maps;
Can i rotate a map?
If i have two maps open can i copy from one map to another if im gonna link them save time laying exactly the.same tiles again?
And what.command do i type in to change a numerical value in object properties window to change a critters pose say if i wanted to place a dead critter anime, basically how.do i edit the values in object properties window?
Is there a tutorial for lighting, unfortunately my laptop doesnt have a numerical keypad, how can i change the lighting then?
Apologies if these are pretty dumb questions but im still learning to use the mapper. Thanks :)

Rotating maps isn't possible. In theory you could, to some degree, rotate/flip mulitple map objects with a custom Mapper script, but Fallout graphics isn't really prepared with such scenario in mind. If you need to see what's behind a wall, you can hide/show walls using "show" buttons in Mapper.
Yes, you can copy objects and paste them into a second map, simply switch to the other map and paste. Just remember stuff is pasted at the same coordinates, so if you paste objects into a smaller map you may have to move it first or it won't fit on the map.
Dead critters I don't remember exactly how you do it, but you can open some existing map that has them and check the properties. In 2238 there was one corpse in the se_truck.fomap map (inside the warehouse). It's a matter of changing a property value from 0 to 2, or something like that.

Thanks for that was just consider my options when linking two maps using the bottom of the first map to become the top of the other map, good u can copy and paste :) wud still like to know how to change the numerical values tho. Thank u :)

Just click the number in the properties window and type a new one. It doesn't have to be from numerical keypad.
You may have to delete the number first (or reset it to 0) with backspace key, if I remember correctly (if it doesn't work, try delete key).

That doesnt seem to work, i click.on the critter and prop window opens Cond is in green i click.on it and it turns red nothing i type in or backspace changes anything and pressing delete deletes the critter :(
