Drawing lines in torque 2D

by Brian Wilmeth · in Torque Game Builder · 02/08/2006 (4:36 am) · 3 replies

I have what I think is a simple question. I know how to put tiles and such into torque, but what if I want to simply draw a line. For example I want to connect two objects by a line, but the objects might be far away or very close. The line will change depending on where the objects are. How can I do this and/or where can I learn about this?

If you are using the latest alpha 3 or beta 1 you can use the t2dShapeVector object.
Basically you can use it to draw graphic primitives like lines and polygons.
I don't remember how to use it, but if you search the forums you should find some examples.
At the moment it's a feature that is missing from the docs (reference and tutorials).

I'm not sure you can use the stock poly tool to do what you are wanting though. Sure, you can draw a line, but as much as I've figured out, you can't give 2 points and ask for a line to be drawn in between.

Here is a thread with everything you need to draw a line.

Hope it helps
