[Done for V0.38] Finding objects in the editor

If this isn't already available, I would love to have a feature in the editor where I can choose an object (such as a blue gem) and have a screen come up showing me where all the blue gems are in the dungeon.

When designing a puzzle which requires a handful of keys to open doors, for example, and the keys are scattered across levels of the dungeon, it is very difficult after a few weeks away from designing the dungeon to remember how many keys I have placed and where.

Easy - you got into notepad with the text file and do a 'find' for 'misc_blue_gem' : )

Personally I wouldn't use notepad for anything but yeah..

I add my vote to this. A find function in the editor would help alot.

Yes, I also think to have this within the editor would be very useful.

I agree - this is something I put into DMute, but somehow failed to add into the RTC editor! I'll sort it out now...

Yeay, are you taking suggestions for the editor GG ?

Thanks CG, I was sure I'd seen it before - now I know it was in DMute

This will be very useful. When you're designing a big dungeon and have a puzzle that requires collecting 5 keys, for example, it's very hard remembering after a break where they actually are.
