Constructor problems

by Smarty Pantsp · in Artist Corner · 01/18/2008 (8:35 pm) · 3 replies

I worked for an hour or so trying to make a cool little base and when I put it into the game only like 5 or 6 of the block things are solid!!! I can walk through most of it. I'm really annoyed since I worked on it for so long and it messed up. Is there anyway to fix/prevent this from happening again. Why does this happen? (It's happened befor on smaller models).

First off, spending an hour 'practicing' something should not upset anyone. Before a game can be made, many many hours well be 'wasted' practicing the many arts of game creation...

I expect, with no less detail to extrapolate from, You have made shapes that BSP geometry should not be. BSP (Binary space partitioning; a fast tree sorting method used to create types of 3D-space game geometry and for Torque the file type is known as DIF.), will not work if it is NOT convex, each Constructor brush must be convex.

Now if this is 100% NOT your problem, could you post a screen shot of your shape from Constructor?

Is it possible to make a brush that's not convex? also I don't get what you mean with the BSP thing. And this wasn't practice.
