Terrain Editor settings

by Ajjai Chandra · in Torque Game Engine · 12/11/2005 (1:10 am) · 5 replies

Hi... I just got torque and was trying to get accustomed to the engine and so I was going through the tutorial and stuff.

Firstly the example program towards the last few pages in the file "Getting Started Tutorial.pdf" is not working properly for some reason.

According to the description in the .pdf file, the score is supposed to be updated if there is a collision with the "torque logo blocks". And when all the blocks are over, it is supposed to display "victory". Do you want to play again?.

I tried doing everything as per the instructions in the .pdf file but the program doesn't update the score nor does it ask me "do you want to play again?"

And one more thing,

In the Terrain Editor Settings, what do the fields,

[b]Radius[\b] and
[b]Scale Height[\b]

influence?

Make sure the TILE option is checked on the terrain (in world editor inspector) then try these features (with extreme values - very small or very big);

Apparently Tile option would let you (or not, if unchecked) edit the terrain.

Trial-error. One of the best learning methods

Apparatus, could you please tell me where the TILE option is? I checked the world editor inspector but i didn't find anything like that...
