	~~Right-Click~~ to multi-select:		Chosen tiles are shown with a red box. It is possible to multi-select by right-clicking on other tiles. Let's do this be first clicking on the top-left tile in the tileset (X0 Y0), and then right-clicking the end of the first animation frame (X4 Y4):

	[[File:MapEditor_TileSelectMulti.png\|frameless]]		[[File:MapEditor_TileSelectMulti.png\|frameless]]

	Turn on animations and set the frame length to 30:		This gives us a 5x5 selection area. If we were to click on the map with these tiles selected, it would place all 5x5 tiles to the map. But we're not going to do that yet.
			Turn on animations by selecting the "Animated" checkmark, and set the frame length to 30:

	Shift+Click to automatically add new frames to the animation. Shift+Right Click to do it while preserving the multiselect:		When in Animated mode, choosing tiles from the tileset will change the CURRENT frame in the animation, with the option to add more. However, you can Shift+Click to automatically add new frames to the animation, and Shift+Right Click to do it while preserving the multiselect. Add a new frame with multi-select, by Shift+Right Clicking on the start tile of the second frame of animation (X0 Y5):

	Do this for the third frame, and then the second frame again to create a full animation cycle:		Do this for the third frame (X0 Y10), and then the second frame again to create a full animation cycle:

	This tutorial will cover the steps needed to create a Dungeon Map out of existing PMD map sheets. There exist random maps in the game, but ~~this tutorial will not cover those~~. We will ~~attempt to recreate~~ Temporal Pinnacle from Explorers of Time/Darkness.		This tutorial will cover the steps needed to create a Dungeon Map out of existing PMD map sheets. A "Dungeon Map" is defined as a map by which movement is turn-based and tile-based. There exist random maps in the game, but for now we are focusing on creating a non-random map. It will be the boss battle version of Temporal Pinnacle from Explorers of Time/Darkness.

	This tutorial is a follow-up to the tutorial, [[Creating Ground Maps]], although it does not use the ground map created in it until the last section, “Accessing the Map”.
