Giving properties to multiple selected shapes in world editor

by Juan Carlos · in Torque 3D Beginner · 11/08/2010 (2:17 pm) · 6 replies

Hi all,

I´m trying to rotate a selection of interiors with the rotation gizmo but i can´t seem to be able to rotate it exactly 90 degrees. If I select all the shapes and modify the rotation property, only one shape rotates which is not the result I need.

I need to rotate the selection as if it were a single shape, 90 degrees. How do I do this?

Thanks for the help you could give a fellow n00b trying to adventure himself into the darklands of torque development.

Cheers.

Make it into a prefab

By prefab, do you mean making it a single .dif?

Thanks for your reply.

I'll be laughing about this one all night. The T3D dev team has halfway implemented rotate snap settings and the rotate scalar math is not properly functional afaik. 

I removed this to avoid confusion

Hi eb,

Where does your script go? directly into the console doesn't do much difference.

Thanks.

Sorry Juan, it is not a script.
I was pointing out the fact that the T3D team has yet to implement the rotate snap settings for the engine. Even though this would not be a proper solution to your issue, I find it funny that they leave such simple and IMO: vital, things out for no reason.

Chris' solution seems best for now.
