CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder Hints

What do the various helps do?

  • -- Active Navigation: This help turns the cursor into a green arrow when you're pointing at an area in the scene that you can zoom in on. Sometimes there's something to see when you get there, sometimes not.

    -- Active Tool: This help turns the cursor into a green toolbox when you're pointing at something you can collect as evidence. Clicking will bring up the toolbox.

    -- Evidence Tagging: This help puts a tag on any evidence you collect when you start to analyze it. The tag is grey if there's more to be done here and red when you've done everything you can with the item; however, there are a few items that will still have a grey tag when they're completely done. I'll note those items as we get to them.

    -- Location Tagging: This help puts a tag on every site you visit. The tag is grey if there's more to be done here and red when you've done everything you can at this location.

    -- Tool Assist: This help will open the tool box to the correct side (collection or detection) when you click on a piece of evidence and gives a small selection of tools to choose from. For example, if you're looking at a fingerprint, it might show you the three fingerprint powders rather than the entire kit.
