Moving Difs in-game

by Jeff Trier · in Torque Game Engine · 03/14/2003 (6:19 am) · 3 replies

As I was positioning an Interior Shape in Torque (which I made in QuArk), I had a thought...

Since there is no relighting involved when moving this object, and it's moveable in the game editor, can it be moved via script?

Moving Difs via script would provide a solution to one of my gameplay ideas.


Thanks,
-Jeff

    Dif shapes _do_ require relights when they're moved... they cast shadows on the terrain.

    Since InteriorInstance is a child of SceneObject, I guess you could move it with the console command setTransform().

    Ahh, I didn't realize they needed relighting.

    I will look into that function mentioned.
