Hammer question

by Elliott Sommer · in Torque Game Engine · 10/22/2006 (11:01 am) · 2 replies

If a map file isn't sealed in some capacity in Hammer (when being used for source) IE your room and outdoor environment isn't sealed in some sort of cube,will it fail to load properly? What are the requirements to make the file be an acceptable export?

Thanks for your time.

You must check if the level has leaks (little cracks in the level. if it does it will not allow you to save...)

This is not the case in Torque. Torque consideres an interior (.map) like a building, and the enviorment is the 'mission'. A leak in the interior will be dealt with like any other leak, door, entrance etc.

So the map file is not the actual map, just a building. For indoor 'missions' you will probably want to seal it so no sunlight gets trough.
