New ImageMap Also Added to Scrollers

by Paul Drust · in Torque Game Builder · 06/08/2008 (1:48 am) · 3 replies

I am adding a new image map and when I do it not only adds the image to the "Static Sprites" section, but to "Scrollers" as well.

If I delete it from "Scrollers" the Static Sprite is removed as well.

I haven't noticed this behavior before.

Does anyone know what's going on?


Thanks for helping the confused.

TGB has always done this. Any imageMap can be used for either a staticsprite or a scroller. It displays it there in the editor not because it has actually put one in your game, its just there in the UI as a means to add one if you wish by dragging one over.

But I do think the massive list of scrollers that im never going to use is a bit ridiculous. If only I could keep them from taking up space (in the editor UI).

Just to add to what James said, an image map will appear in both sections if set to FULL mode. If you are using a CELL mode image map, then it will only appear in the static sprite rollout.

I've suggested that there should be an option in the image builder to specify if a FULL mode image should also be added to the scrollers rollout instead of the default auto-add to both.

Thanks for the responses.

It does seem silly to put in both by default.
