Mission Area Editor - Which way is North

by Carpenter Software · in Torque Game Engine · 03/16/2006 (8:52 pm) · 2 replies

As I am getting started.... Is the coordinate system that TGE is using right handed? When I look into the Mission Edit Area with a BIG V which I assume is the FOV. The map faces one way and the mission edit area points in another. Mainly North and South....I think.

Relative to the mission edit area which way is north?

Using the 3 axis labeled x, y and z, which way is North? Lets hope I'm not at the North Pole. I could easily walk past it.

Is there documentation discussing the coordinate system of TGE?

When I am in the MAP (terrain), I see two rectangles. One is RED that covers a lot of the area on the map, and the other is GREEN which runs outside the perimeter of the red. They look like walls. When I add the hills it seems that the walls also raise along with the hills....

What is the RED rectancle?

What is the GREEN rectangle?

I assume that the green rectangle encloses the boundries of the terrain...

...and the red is the actual "mission area," if I recall correctly. I'm not sure if it actually does anything though...
