Thok/Sky Borders Quickly in Zone Builder

[snoccy_]

hey, i've been making a map and i've been wondering : is there any quicker ways to make thok-sky-whatever they're called borders quickly? it's getting quite obnoxious having to outline the entire map (because it's not a square) just so the sky doesn't bug out

if that isn't clear : this is the problem im trying to eliminate, but without taking 20 minutes

Not really. The barrier has always been tedious to set up.

If you're not building the map for an older version you can just build the sky barrier where you need the sky to be visible.

You can select the lines that need to become thok barriers, and use the Stair Sector Builder on them. To quickly select all outer lines of the entire stage, select the entire map in Sectors Mode, and then use "Select Sectors Outline" (Shift + S) to only select the outermost lines. I'd recommend using the "Single steps" flag, and make sure to make the generated sector(s) face the correct way.

I wish I knew about this years ago.
