Question about T2D

by Lucius Nitewing · in Torque 2D Beginner · 04/04/2013 (11:38 am) · 3 replies

I've been playing around with the sandbox toys for a few days now. Now I'm looking to do a 2.5D style game in the styles of the Facebook social games. Is this done with an isometric view or something to do with the camera?

@Lucius - You will likely want to use a CompositeSprite in isometric mode for all your terrain (tiles). You can create art that uses the perspective you want, then add them to the scene as individual sprites. Finally, you will want to change your batch sorting so objects properly layer in front of each other.

As an example, combine the isometric example from the CompositeSpriteToy, with the y-sorting from the SpriteStressTest toy.

Thanks, I'll go give that a try then and see where it takes me.
