So you would give them a place somewhere at the beginning of the level just inside the doors where you are. You would walk in, go back to hair spray and come back and start spraying casheers and greeters alike. You might put on your doc where the electronics isle is, and then when you create your game you know say radio block is at 55 50 and attach a song to it so you know that is a radio. It can be destroyed with say the gun over in sporting goods. Once you put all that in your doc you know how you want to design your game long before you drop your first building block.
