Moving BSP Interiors

by Jeffrey P. Bakke · in Torque Game Engine · 03/05/2003 (7:30 pm) · 5 replies

Has anyone attempted or looked into the ability to move a BSP interior dynamically in the game? Example: I create a very large blimp object and create an interior so that a person can actually walk around inside. Would it be possible to have the blimp flying while I walk around in the interior?

This is possible, but not currently supported. The image will move but the collision box(es) does not. You could code it in, or you could con one of the other nice people here into doing it.

Personally, I would prefer to do it by way of portals, but I'm just not up to that level of understanding when it comes to this engine...

After GDC, when the GG crew gets to merge the changes from Marble Blast (not all of them, afaik), including the platform code, which is moving difs, you should be able to use that functionality for what you're looking at.
Just something to keep in mind if you have limited ressources, and can afford to wait a bit :)

Any thoughts on the time frame for this? We're planning a FPS where the characters start from airborne vehicles and then belay to the ground. This is just in the opening sequence, so we can wait until this functionality exists. Anyway, it would be nice to have some rolling motion to the vehicles while they're hovering.

Mark started to merge the movers into HEAD a couple of weeks ago, but apparently never finished it... so it's "kinda" in now, but doesn't work yet ... :(
