"Holes" in terrain

by Muir Hamilton · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/24/2010 (9:42 pm) · 4 replies

How can I make a hole in a terrain file created with T3D? I want to have a tunnel DIF going down into the ground, but (obviously) the terrain gets in the way... is there any way I can make a hole in the terrain for the tunnel to go down?

About the author

I'm 16, and I love doing game art. I prefer art to anything else, I don't have the patience for most coding, and I haven't bothered to learn much of 3DsX. I hope to have gamedev of some sort as a career in the future..

    Have a look at the Clear Terrain tool (located in the Terrain Editor), it should do what you want. Just keep in mind that in 1.0.1 there is an collision bug that makes the player fall through the ground even if there is terrain there, you'll notice. Also I've heard that there is an shadowing bug that lets the terrain continue to cast shadows event if it is cleared, i haven't seen this tho.

    I've seen the collision fails, is there any way to fix that?

    Not for binary users, you'll have to wait for 1.1 final (which you as a binary user will get). You could also use an invisible collision but I know it isn't the same =/.
