Dif Road

by Scott Doerrfeld · in Torque Game Engine · 07/06/2006 (4:36 pm) · 2 replies

I created a very simple road (one rectangular brush) that I exported to DIF format and imported into TGE. Something strange occurs when my player runs on top of the road --- the player model gets drastically dark. It's as if I've walked into a cave!!!

This is not something I expected to happen at all. I've made complex building structures before and plopped the player on the rooftop and this does not happen. Does the engine think my player is inside? Can someone help me understand what's going on here? Btw I am using Torque Lighting Kit. Thanks!

Portal. There is a default portal that I am guessing the engine thinks is a cavern or something. Try raising the object off the ground and see if it thinks it was below grade or something. Maybe need to stack two blocks one on top of the other. Play around with it. It could be a useful thing for adding scary effects.
