Lesson 5: Saving Magnets Like I have said before, the largest advantage magnets have over other ways of deforming is magnets can be saved. I like to set up Prop folders for each of my magnet sets to keep things organized. By the way, you will be saving magnets to the Prop folders. When saving a magent, be sure to select the magnet itself - not the base or zone before saving. If you have a base or zone selected before saving, the three parts will not save right. Some will combine magnets together while saving. You can do this by clicking "Select Subset" from the "set name" window. Here you can select all the magents and bases and zones and add them then save them all together. I prefer not to do the above because this could get messy. Here is how I load many magnets at one time. I usually name my magnets 01, 02, 03, etc. I then make a script in WordPad or any text editor and save it as anyname.pz2. Here is an example of what the code looks like for loading multiple magnets. You would have to change folder and file names to suit your individual needs of course. The below script loads magnets 18, 19, 20, and 21. ---snip--- { version { number 4 } readScript ":Runtime:libraries:props:V3-AD_MagsLower:018.pp2" readScript ":Runtime:libraries:props:V3-AD_MagsLower:019.pp2" readScript ":Runtime:libraries:props:V3-AD_MagsLower:020.pp2" readScript ":Runtime:libraries:props:V3-AD_MagsLower:021.pp2" } ---snip---
