Creating a ShapeBase Object
by Ian Dale · in Torque Game Engine · 12/22/2004 (6:24 am) · 5 replies
I have torque 1.3 with Lighting pack 1.2.
I'm having difficulty creating a shapebasedata object. My code is:
datablock ShapeBaseData(CRock)
{
ClassName = "Collectable";
category = "Collect";
emap = true;
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/rock/rock.dts";
};
function ShapeBaseData::create(%data)
{
%obj = new ShapeBase() {
dataBlock = %data;
};
return %obj;
}
The dts object is correct as are it's textures. When I add the object through the editor all I get is a box outline and the XYZ handles and nothing else. No errors appear in the console log.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.

I thought about doing that but I do not know how to expose the extra member functions that shapebase has in its' derivatives such as item and staticobject.

Just change ShapeBaseData to ItemData and see what happens.

Did Eric's suggestion work ?
