Pixel-snapping in editor (DEFEDIT-472)

Feature requests
#1

I would like to have a checkbox in the editor that allows me to turn on pixel-snapping. That is, preventing any object that is moved or placed from ending up at a position between pixels. It would be like a one-pixel-size grid in addition to the standard grid-functionality, since I still want to be able to have grid snapping as well.

Right now when building levels, I spend a lot of time manually setting my translation-values on props to integers. In one project I’ve even placed a script on every prop-gameobject that floors its x and y positions but I’d rather not have that.

Yes, pixel-snapping would be really useful. @Ingela_Garneij or @Ragnar_Svensson is this in the backlog for the new editor?

#3

Yes, this is in our backlog, and will be prioritised when the new Editor is released. Thanks for poking us about it!

#4

Are there any news about this item? It is really necessary for pixel-art games.

@britzl, would be nice move objects with arrows on editor.
ex.:
KEY_RIGHT = Move Right 1px.
SHIFT + KEY_RIGHT = Move Right 10px or 20px

It would also be great a trackpad support on editor. I’d love to use pinch to zoom and scroll with two finger to move viewport.

I totally agree! The new editor does currently not support it either, but it is still in beta so I think we’ll see it implemented at some point. Right @Ragnar_Svensson and @Erik_Angelin?
