Problem with RainyDay Tutorial

by Jonathan Jones · in Torque X 2D · 10/26/2009 (1:06 pm) · 2 replies

I have just downloaded the latest TX2D demo and am trying to work through the tutorials. I thought i would start on this one first but have hit a problem. I add the movement component to the cloud exactly as described but when i try to move it with WSAD or the cursor keys it just vanishes from screen.

I completed the tutorial and everything else seems ok but i cant move the cloud. It isnt that it zooms out of bounds either because the plants still grow (the trigger atatched to the cloud obviously isnt moving) its just vanishing.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a collision issue, look over the steps, I don't recall exactly how the tutorial works, but I would bet you are colliding with the background. I have done this too many times to count.

You are correct :). The 'Enable Collision' box was checked for the background, it shouldnt have been. All working now.

Thanks
