Terrain problem (disappearing tunnels)

by Stenbacka · in Torque Game Engine · 05/28/2007 (7:53 am) · 1 replies

When I set two areas of empty polygons in the terrain and then place tunnels in those holes, I get a "bug" in some specific angles.

When I stand, outside and facing the both tunnels on the right side, the left tunnel disappears but just in a specific point and if I stand on the left side it's the right tunnel. The left tunnel gets back if I modify the terrain near the right tunnel and vs for the left tunnel.

Someone got any suggestion how to solve this problem?

I do not have a fix but I have just ran into the same problem.

I set a couple terrains polys empty and placed a tunnel entrance.

When I get a certain distance away it dissappears until I go to the right or left of it a little.
I am also sortof looking up at it from the bottom of a hill.

It's more than likely something to do with the terrain holes and not setting the Dif into it properly.
I am going to just fiddle with Placement and Dif model for a while...

If anyone has a definate solution or cause, it would be great to here..
