Need Foundry veteran to answer my silly questions

Hey guys.

I've just started using the Foundry (beta) on Tribble. I'm starting to get the hang of it, but there are some things I just can't figure out.

I'm looking for one or more experienced Foundry users to help me out by answering silly "How do I..." questions as they come up. They're likely to be questions that'll make you laugh at me for not figuring out ;o) But shortcuts to the answers would save me from pulling out even more handfuls of my hair!

Please post here or message me if you'd be willing to answer stupid questions for me :o)

Thanks,
Ali

PS. And my first question is...

I'm struggling with my first map transition. The player talks to Admiral Marconi on the Cryptic DS9 social map, and then I want them to go to a custom map I've created - i.e. a replica of the Bajor system that I've built from scratch in the Foundry editor.

Ideally, after speaking to Admiral Marconi on the social DS9 map I'd like the player to return to their ship, then return to Beta Ursae Sector space, and access my custom map by flying to the Bajor system in sector space. I know you can use a "door" in sector space to access a custom map, but I can't find a door for the Bajor system.

Not sure how I can get my player to access my custom "Bajor system" map???

Set up your contact with Admiral Macaroni on DS9, then set the next mission objective somewhere on your custom Bajor System map. A map transition element will appear and I believe you can choose the exit point on it, choose "whole map" to beam up, but I don't think the Foundry supports going to Sector Space, then going to Bajor system, then going into your map yet.

Hey, thanks :) I couldn't get onto the Foundry to play with this during the downtime, but have had a go at it now.

The Foundry won't allow me to use "whole map" for my first transition to a custom map. The custom map has to be linked to a specific exit point on the social map. So I've had to set it up such that Admiral Marconi tells the player to go to one of the docking ring airlocks on the Promenade; when they get there, an interact button triggers the map change.
