Hey, I've started working on a level where u start inside, so theres walls all around you. i kept adding to the walls as i made the level sticking them down and smudging etc for the journey of my level. All in 1 giant piece ( i shoulda done it in seperate pieces, i know this ) i thought the meter would be advising me this but anyway now i cant move the level on as i havent cut away to the end. so its like running into a brick wall if u know what i mean. i've tried deleting some of the area to make the shape less complex but this is to no avail. I thought the fill meter was for warning this kinda thing!!! With all this lag and crashing and errors and even create problems this is just another getting on my ti*ies!! I know i shuda not stuck it all i was tired and not thinking. So is this it for my level. do i need to start it again (long) Also I cant do undo now cuz its been saved and ps3 switched off. so thats a no go.. (i think) Any ideas??

Hate to say it, but you should probably just start over and do separate pieces. I know it's a setback, but the level will be better for it in the end.

can you not cut gaps in your walls in a few places, thus separating it into different sections. Then just join them back somehow using bolts or something. Don't know if this is possible in your level or that it will even solve your problem. But it's just an idea to try before having to start all over again.

But it's just an idea to try before having to start all over again. i doubt he'd be able to as cutting the object would increase the number of points in it and that is what they mean by "complex". my guess is at this point he's stuck and has to start over. if he could undo, that would be one thing but he saved it unfortunately. that's my thinking at least. by all means try tons of different things before starting over man.

i was just thinking. what you MIGHT be able to do is basically obliterate half of it by putting a HUGE square of a different material in/on it (embedding it). this should be fewer points than you currently have and unless the game completely locks editing once you've reached the "too complex point" this should be allowed. then just detach the original piece, move that to the side, and save that as an object. then undo all of that and repeat with the other side. the problem with complex shapes (i'd imagine) is the number of points, not the size or mass of them. so "erasing" with a very simple shape like i suggest i would think would be allowed.

I know some people on here have mentioned that they have captured their whole level before and deleted everything and pasted it again in the middle to make more room. This was in the Beta though, but guess it would still work for some of it. But maybe if it is classing all the walls as one object then just copying half wouldn't work ???? Looks like you screwed mate sorry grr

All you need to do is get rid of some vertexes (corners), which you can cut away with a square cursor, or use the corner edit tool. Then you should be able to put your windows, or see-thru openings in your object. Keep in mind that a circle has a lot of vertexes, so you may have to compromise, or cut your object into two large segments.

What you could have done was to drop bombs or use switch mines to blow up a certain area that you wanted to mess with and eventually de-complicate the shape. I've done this before when I wasn't able to cut apart my complicated shape.
