Objects that have movment ?

by Areal Person · in Technical Issues · 02/14/2006 (2:37 pm) · 2 replies

Hi, I'm really new to Torque, I'm trying the demo SDK. I know this is a basic question, but
could someone please help me ?

I cant find the instructions on creating a "Dynamic" Object. I want to put objects in my game
that have motion attached to them, things like "Sunflowers that sway in the wind", "Grass that
has gental movment back and forth as wind blows etc., I can see that water moves on it's own but how do I
do this with other objects that should have some movment based on enviroment ?

When the wind blows I want my tree to sway. How do I do that kind of stuff ?

I know how to load a static object from a dts file (but thats all I know how to do).

Thanks for helping a new person.

If you have access to TDN, you can check out this article, which I just wrote a couple of days ago.

It might be a good starting place.
