Scaling dif objects in Torque.

by Jonathan Rose · in Torque Game Engine · 01/01/2005 (2:22 am) · 4 replies

It seems that just about whenever I scale a dif in Torque that the brushes become unaligned and everything becomes rather... messy looking. Certain brushes will have their edges more exposed than others. This happens a lot particularly with the brushes created with the bevel and arch creators. I'm using QuArK 6.3. Is there any particular way to fix this problem?

Is this when you scale it in the world editor, or in Quark? Can you post a screenshot or two to help us visualize the problem better?

Scaled within the world editor I mean.

When I make an arch with the arch builder it scales and the different brushes become more... jagged. It might be more a problem with QuArK than anything else though. Could be that the arch builder/bevel tool creates brushes misaligned.

Ya you need to make sure " Don't write floating point coordinates" is NOT on. You can find it in Edit>configurations>Map>options.
Basically all the brushes are seperated the way you have them. That why the edges get more pronounced when you scale. The object should be one peice after export.

hope that helps
