How to Load 3D object in 2D

by Stanley D Chatman · in Torque Game Builder · 08/17/2006 (1:31 am) · 3 replies

I have read thru the tutorial on doing this and am having trouble getting this to work. I have created a function called loadShape and it is in my game.cs file.

function loadShape()
{
%shape = new t2dShape3D() { scenegraph = t2dScene; };
%shape.setShape("~/models/reinstatedsoldier.dts");
%shape.setPosition( "20 10" );
%shape.setSize( 15 );
// Set Shape Skin.
//%shape.setSkin( "reinstatedsoldier", "reinstatedsoldier" );
echo("Stan");
}


I call this function from the startGame function but nothing is ever loaded. I checked the console and at first it said I was pointing to the wrong folder for my skin but I got that resolved. What am I missing here?


Thanks in advance,
Stanley D. Chatman

If you place your .dts object in your "shapes" folder in your project it then should show up in the Level Builder 3D Shapes panel.

Try checking out the 3D shapes tutorial in the latest release of TGB... The one on TDN is a little dated.

change
%shape = new t2dShape3D() { scenegraph = t2dScene; };

to this


%shape = new t2dShape3D() { scenegraph = SceneWindow2D.getScenegraph(); };

It worked like a charm. Thanks so much...
