Constrcutor Question

by Ted Lilljegren · in Technical Issues · 11/23/2007 (1:17 pm) · 4 replies

If i use the "import static" mesh to import a player(maybe i cant since players are "dynamic"?) dts, is there any way to change its textures from within constructor (would be cool to make statues out of dts) or do i have to do that with the dts itself?

Constructor btw, is some nifty software

Nope, there's no way to edit the static mesh, since they're already "compiled" and constuctor doesn't work with them.

I thought so. Regarding the composition of dif objects, are they like DTs objects also just a bucn of meshes, only more static in nature?

DTSs are arbitrary meshes, but DIFs are composed of solid convex brushes. ie, they're modeled via constructive-solid-geometry (CSG). this allows them to have high collision performance and also partition the world into Zones for rendering performance.

This and this should help answer your question.
