Mounted Weapon Do not Glow

by Playware · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 08/22/2005 (1:25 am) · 9 replies

Hi

I created a datablock ItemData(CrossbowAmmo) and was able to apply glow effect perfectly fine.
I apply the glow on glow[1] with a texture that I wanted to glow on baseTex[1].

However, ShapeBaseImageData doesn't seems to work.
The moment I mount it to the player. It doesn't glow anymore.
Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Noticed that too. I need a glow on the scope of one of my weapons, and it does not work when mounted. (nor static) If it's a feature, please change it; if it's our error, please help. :P

Alot of the effects do not have some effects. I suspect its becuase the mounted image is rendered before, and not added to the glow buffer.

There's a translucency bug that is interfering with the glow right now. I'll post something when it's fixed.

Is there an update on this issue? I am trying to apply a glow effect to a sword in our game and am assuming this is the reason it is not working? Thanks.

OK, what you need to do is add SceneRenderImages with glow flagged for each mounted image. Look in ShapeBase::prepRenderImage() and ShapeBase::renderObject() to see how to do this.

@Brian

You mention set glow flagged for each mounted image so do I add it in shapeImage.cpp?
I'm still trying to understand how shapebaseImagedata are rendered.

Has anyone fixed this?
If not, could you please explain a bit more about the changes we need to do in order to get this to work.
Thank you
