Car dissapearing when camera is at a distance?

by Ian Winter · in Torque Game Engine · 12/29/2005 (11:42 am) · 6 replies

I'm using the starter.racing with 1.4 and whenever the camera is more than a certain distance away it just dissapears although the wheels are still visible. I'm pretty new to using TGE so I apologise if this is a simple question, my first instincts are that perhaps it's due to TGE trying to switch to a lower poly version of the vehicle at a distance and being unable to for some reason, but this is a wild guess on my behalf as I'm not totally sure how TGE works yet!

Any helps appreciated, thanks in advance! :)

If a mod reads this, please ignore my thread delete request, I thought I'd solved the problem but apparently not :(

This may be a LOD problem. Is this a model you have made, the default buggy or something else?

Just using the default buggy from the starter.racing kit. I've also implemented and am using the advanced camera resource if that has any kind of baring on the issue.

I tried swapping out buggy.dts for the .dts file of the car from the bravetree pack. I only did a swap of the .dts file names so I'm only assuming when I copy the right textures over and stuff it isn't going to dissapear again, but that seems to have fixed it.
