Hole In Terrain

by John Eder · in Torque Game Engine · 02/09/2003 (1:14 pm) · 6 replies

In the terrain I'm current using there's a hole that appears in a small section (about 8-12 tiles I guess). When I'm further away from it, no hole is apparent, it's only when I get close. Here's a screenshot to show what it's doing. If anyone knows how to prevent this, please let me know.

its the set empty and clear empty.. (something like that) It disappears as you move away due to how the engine reads terrain.. mainly holes are covered by buildings that go under the terrain so you wouldnt see the hole anyways.. I would just plug up the hole and it will not appear anymore..

How exactly would I plug up the hole? This is a new terrain and not one that buildings have been on so I'm not sure why it popped up.

go into the editor by using f-11 and click on the window tab and go down and click on "terrain editor"..
now go over to the action tab and go down to "clear empty"
now cover the hole with the cursor (should be big enough to cover the hole.. click and the hole will "poof" disappear.. : ) to make holes choose "set empty".. : )
