Levels List

The Levels List shows the Persistent Level, as well as any additional Streamed Levels. The level denoted as CURRENT is the level that will be modified if changes are made in the editor windows or Kismet.

The Visible checkbox allows you to hide and unhide the levels in the editor, although this is for visualization purposes only and has no bearing on whether or not a level will stream into the game when it is run. However, a level that is not visible here will not be affected if you rebuild the level, which can be a great timesaver if you have complicated levels.

Currently, the following are not functional: Lock/Unlock button (denoted by the icon); Draw Bounding Box checkbox.

Context Menu

• Make Current - Make the selected Level the current Level.
• Load and Unload - Load or unload a Level.
