Simplifying Editor for Game and Disabling GUI

by Nick Merrill · in Torque Game Engine · 04/09/2004 (9:40 am) · 4 replies

Hello all,
My project requires a really easy-to-use terrain editor. Does anyone know if this already has been done? Also, how may I go about getting all the options from a drop down menu to be in a box, like a sidebar? And how can I disable the GUI editor?

If you want to know exactly what my plan is, you can see my .plan file from my profile. Sorry for all the newbie questions :D

Have you looked at the existing terrain editor? It's pretty easy to use...

Oh yes yes, but I'd just like to make it a bit easier and remove some of the features that my users won't really be needing in order to make it less scary at first. It's amazingly intuitive, but offers more than my users would need.

Most of the editor functionality is contained in TorqueScript in the common/editor/ directory. This makes it pretty easy to modify behaviour, and you can completely remove all the hooks to the GUI editor this way as well.
