TypeMasks::AtlasObjectType or $TypeMasks::TerrainObjectType?

by BBS Games · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 05/09/2006 (5:50 am) · 2 replies

I was implementing point & click player movement and clicking to the terrain never worked...until I changed $TypeMasks::TerrainObjectType to $TypeMasks::AtlasObjectType...ok this is obvius because I'm using Atlas...but why there is still the $TypeMasks::TerrainObjectType mask?

Can I strip out this type or is this still needed by TSE internal code?

Well, the TerrainObjectType is for the old legacy terrain. It is still used in missions like Stronghold but you could probably take it out if you're only using atlas.

Thanks Matt,
I've removed $TypeMasks::TerrainObjectType from main.cpp, changed some scripts (mainly in the editor/creator) and all works as expected.
