Minor bug: Mounting in editor track rotation not un-setting

by Will O-Reagan · in Torque X 2D · 05/30/2010 (5:35 pm) · 3 replies

I've tried mounting an object in the editor, and rotating it, it goes back to zero rotation on load.

    Is the property ownedByMount set for your object? I believe in that case it will be the same rotation as the object it's mounted to.

    Nope, owned by mount is still unchecked, did nothing.

    Ok, looks like you are on the right track.. went into mount function and found this...

    TrackMountRotation = true;

    looked suspicious, so i changed it to this

    if (ownedByMount)
            TrackMountRotation = true;

    Now track by rotation doesn't work from the editor though. I just changed the art for now, but it would be nice to get this feature to work properly.
