Terraforming and animated tiles?

by amaranthia · in Torque Game Builder · 07/21/2005 (4:49 pm) · 2 replies

I was wondering if it was possible to use terraforming? And if we could make animated tiles?

I'm asking this because I would like to make a role-playing game with animated water and waterfalls. I would also like to make natural-looking pathways without having a giant tileset with every possible grass/dirt combination.

Or, is there a way to build onto the map editor to get these features?

Thanks! I hope this was clear :D

I'm not sure what you mean by Terraforming, but there is no automatic genration of terrain or anything like that. Although it is possible to create natural backgrounds without using a large amount of textures if you design them correctly.

I think she means place tile types, like a path tile and have the transitions to the surrounding tiles happen automatically, and also have some variation placed as well.

To that, the answer is no, you have to place everything by hand.
