SetSkinBase?

by Jeff Trier · in Torque Game Engine · 09/19/2003 (5:04 am) · 2 replies

Hi all,

I am checking for the posiblity of re-texturing interiors on the fly or before game start.

In my search, I came across the setSkinBase command. I look this command up with a search in the source and had seen a few references, but I can't get a concreate grasp on what it does.

If any of you know, I would appreciate your info.

Thanks guys,
-Jeff

    SetSkinBase is used in setting the skin on static and dynamic shapes. ie: changing a player skin or a weapon skin. Things like that.

    Thanks for the help Robert!

    Excellent, that sounds like what I want. :)

    By doing a dump(), its utilization looks like this:
    setSkinBase() - [InteriorObject].setSkinBase()

    Is setSkinName the same as setSkinBase?

    I am not sure what "basename" refers to.


    Thanks again,
