So each time i make a level sometime in the editing devmode goes nuts.
You want to place a saw and then it moves in the background and when you touch the saw you die, If you save the stage with a moving saw/back ground peice then you cant load it again and this happend with my newst stage but in this one i put so much more effort ( see here http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198011668134/screenshot/595806217314508446 )
Please help me D:

You should have posted this in the Level Editing forum.

When you say that background saws kill, you mean sawblades put on Layer 5 (Back Tile General)? If so, it's perfectly normal. If you want saws not to kill your character, they have to be put on Layer 2 (Fore Tile) or Layer 6 (Back Tile).

As for the level not loading anymore, it's probably not due to sawblades but it's more the result of devmode being slightly unstable, levels can occasionally get corrupted. Make sure you save several copies of your levels in order to avoid losing them.

I kinda know that.. The thing is that no matter what it is ( 1-9 ) just becomes a background thingy that moves around with the camera and kills you and bugs the map and dosent let you load it later.

You've been using the Shift button to downsize your saws, which instead change the perspective of where the saws appear in the background. Don't do that.

As HybridStars mentionned, you have to hold the CTRL key in order to resize objects.
