By default Entities are selected. For map design purposes the easiest way to think about entitities and actors is probably like this: Entitites are objects that the player can interact with in some way, actors are only visual. An example: a tree that's placed as an actor is just there for looks, you cannot gather wood from it, it can neither be destroyed. A tree placed as an entity can be gathered from and destroyed. So if you want to design a town where you don't want the player to change the look of it by chopping down trees you would place them as actors. Remember to put some trees as entities though in case you want the player to be able to gather some wood on this map. 21 Choose between Entities or Actors using the dropdown.
