HELP: new custom editor item for NOTES (clone of script)

I figure I could clone a script_entity and just change the icon to a new custom one, something like the N for the notes on the in-game automap. Then I can place my big bright N's in the editor and put notes to myself in them (I would just comment out every line so no scripts try to run)
How do I do this???
How do I make a custom editor icon and how do I assign it a number so I can do something like this:
Code: Select all
cloneObject{
name = "note_entity",
baseObject = "script_entity",
editorIcon = ??,
}
or should I do a defineObject?

I see in the objects.lua that script_entity editorIcon is 148. But where are these icons? I can't find them in the asset pack textures or anywhere
(maybe I'll use the secret icon, 76)
(I'd like to use the starting_location icon, the arrow, but it's not listed in objects.lua)
(maybe stairs_up, 44)
(or healing crystal, 60)

I was wondering this too earlier today too, when I was picking an icon for anti-magic zones... I even took a look in the game subfolder of Steam, to no avail. I have a sneaky suspicion they are hard coded into the editor.
EDIT - oh just found the arrow... it's editorIcon = 32,

It was the first entry in objects.lua in the asset pack (v2)
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "party",
class = "Party",
editorIcon = 32,
}

Fun Fact: The starting location is the object "Party"
EDIT: Ninja'd as I went to get supper haha

ah, thanks, I'll probably use that then, since it's so extremely rarely used elsewhere and also stands out pretty well

If you do want something that shows up on the automap, there is a map_marker object which you could use or clone.
EDIT - but of course you can't type notes in that.
