Disable Terrain

by Andreas Heldt · in Torque Game Engine · 09/22/2004 (12:05 pm) · 2 replies

I'm a total noob to Torque.. My first question is how to disable the Terrain to build a game without Terrain (like a indoo-only shooter or a spaceshooter)?

I'm very glad if someone could help me!

Andreas,
I made a indoor map and I have just delete the terrainblock from the missionfile. Nothing more and nothing less, and it works.
Ok, if you open the Mission Editor you get an error in the log, but you still can work with the mission without problems.

Here the way I do it.
- Use a empty mission with terrain and playerdroppoint
- open the Mission Editor and place your Indoor DIF
- Set a playerdroppoint in your DIF and delete the old playerdroppoint
- save the mission and leave the Torque Engine

- open our .mis file with an Texteditor or Tribal IDE or what you want.
- delete the terrainblock from the mission file and save the .mis file

next time you start the TGE with your mission you spawn at your new playerdroppoint in our DIF.

I guess if none of your missions are going to have a terrainblock in them, you could delete the terrainblock in data/newMission.mis, then every time you create a new mission in the editor it'll have no terrain in it.
