Why is'nt my object rendering?

by Johnathan Moore · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 01/28/2007 (10:01 am) · 3 replies

Hey, Im having problems getting my custom object class to render (its based on the RTSUnit from the RTS Kit).

Does anyone have any suggestions why It wouldnt?


A Few Things:

The shape works as a player object

The object is being networked

Its parent class is player

Render Image Function is not called

Milestone 4.1

Please post if you need to know anything else.

The most common reason I get invisible items is forgetting the material definition, or the material file(s) not being executed. Also for some reason I seem to need the "map to" param set in the material def.

No its not a material problem because it works in the player class using the exact same shapefile

i have the function

void			Unit::renderObject(SceneState* state)
{
	Con::errorf("blaa");
	//ShapeBase::renderImage(state);
	
}

but it does not get called
