Making tunnels

by Bill Keller · in Torque Game Engine · 04/05/2003 (11:34 am) · 3 replies

Hello all -

I'm trying to make a tunnel that goes through terrain. I've built the tunnel in Worldcraft with four basic brushes (top, bottom and sides) and added a portal brush at each end.
I then put it into my mission and raised the terrain in the middle to make a hill that the tunnel is going through. The terrain simply raised through the tunnel and blocked it. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!

If I'm not mistaken you'd need to make a hole in the terrain for what your trying to do.
It should be possible in the terrain editor thought I'm unsure how exactly.
Someone back me up and give detailed instructions?

yea setting the terrain section as empty makes the holes you desire

so in the mission editor (F11) using the terrain editor (F6)
and then using the upper menu set action to set empty
set the size of your brush and away you go.

Hey, that works. Although now it's apparent that I have to take steps to prevent gaps. Make the entrances to my interiors larger than necessary or something.

Thanks guys.
