Adding a rug "decal"?

by Steve Howson · in Torque Game Engine · 05/18/2006 (12:15 pm) · 2 replies

Hi all.
I searched in the forums for this, but don't really know the terminology for it, so I wasn't able to find anything.

I'm using Hammer to create the levels for a small game I'm making. I know about the license agreement, but this game is for learning purposes and if I release it it'll be for free.

Anyway, I created a room and want to add a rug to it.
I have a jpg of a rug I'd like to use, but just not sure how to add it.

I added the jpg to the WAD I used in Hammer and saw the decal option in Hammer, but am having trouble figuring out how to do it.
Is it better, or is there a way, to do this within Torque itself? If so how would I go about doing that?

I basically just want to drop the jpg in the middle of the floor so it looks like an area rug.

Hope that makes sense..
Thanks for any info!

It might be easier to make a thin brush with the rug texture on it than to try and make a decal, AFAIK TGE does not have built-in support for projecting decals onto the surfaces of interior objects. Either way, good luck to you =)

Thanks a lot.
I had actually tried the thin brush method after I posted this.. made about a 1 unit brush the size of the rug and then scaled and shifted the rug texture.. turned out pretty well.
