Property changing GUI

by William James · in Torque Game Engine · 06/14/2007 (12:46 pm) · 4 replies

I would like to make a GUI that will allow me to change to properties or attributes of a shape by inputting values
into a text box... IE(width, height, etc.) Is this something that requires changing code or can it be done by scripting?

Well, the WorldEditor performs exactly what you are talking about. Have a look at Editor.cs, WorldEditor.h/.cc, and you can probably see how the WorldEditor manipulates shapes.

F11 -> World Editor Inspector seems to be exactly what you're asking for.

Width, Height, and Depth can be changed in the "scale" box.

I don't know what other things you need to change, but unless I'm mistaken really you shouldn't have to do much more than edit the "initPersistFields()" function.

I'm kinda finding my way around a little. Thanks for the help. What I'm trying to attempt is to create a standalone interface that will be somewhat like the image below. I'm having quite a bit of trouble trying to figure out if I would use this as the PlayGui and make the window the GameTSCtrl and then add my buttons and controls?
