SCATTER TOOL
Randomize your objects
This tool works like the regular Objects Tool but allows you to select several assets at once.
WHAT'S THE SAME
Some things are similar to the Object Tool, so we won't talk about them here:
WHAT'S DIFFERENT
Size, rotation, custom colors and asset types can be randomized. Each new click will make a new randomization.
By holding click and drag your mouse over the map, you can place multiples instances of the same asset.
Selecting multiple assets
You can select several assets in the library by holding CTRL or CMD when you click on a new asset.
You can also select a range of assets by selecting the first one, holding 🡅 SHIFT, then selecting the last one. All the assets in between will be selected.
If you try to select a lot of assets at once, Dungeondraft might take a moment to select them all and become unresponsive for several seconds.
You can unselect an asset by holding CTRL or CMD and clicking on the asset.
When several assets are selected, they will be randomly chosen as the next asset to place.
You can cycle through the selected assets by holding 🡅 SHIFT and use your MOUSE WHEEL. Each new asset will be randomized according to the settings you chose.
Random Colors
When you select a colorable asset, you can also select several custom colors from the color palette, simply by clicking on the colors you want. Unselect a color by clicking on it.
The first color is always selected by default.
If you unselect it without any other color selected, the asset will turn bright red.
Random Rotation
You can adjust the rotation randomness by moving the two ends of the Rotation slider.
Random Size
You can adjust the size randomness going to 0.1 (10% of the original size) to 4 (400% the original size) with the Scale slider. By default, the slider is set to 1, but if you move it, you will see it split into two ends you can adjust separately as for the rotation.
Spread
You can adjust the space between assets by moving the Spread slider, from -1 to +4.
Pro Tip: The Scatter Tool is especially useful in natural areas, where things need to look a bit messy. It can help you achieve a natural look in a few clicks.
