Showing the Player Model for Customization

by Zuero · in Torque Game Engine · 10/07/2008 (11:30 pm) · 4 replies

How do you make the main player model appear on the screen before actually within a mission, for example, after clicking a button which leads you to several customization windows (From the MACK Pack) how do you make the model appear to see the changes made with the options, and then by clicking the "Begin" button to start the mission?

Ok thanks a lot for the link. :) but when I compile the code after adding the two files from Xaviers guiobjectview resource I get these two errors.

It seems the second error about the interiorCollision.sbr file, I get everytime when recompiling torque after adding a new file.

Can anyone help me fix these two errors?

@Zuero

Just a quick guess, but the two files you added (guiobjectview.cc/h) were probably written before the TGE 1.5.x code and folder restructuring. Try editing the new file(s) to point to the correct current locations of the missing code. GuiCanvas.h should be in engine\gui\core\, but you might want to verify that before changing anything.

Once that's done, you should be able to rebuild the project. I should also mention that it doesn't hurt to 'clean' the solution before you recompile the code. Yes, that way slows down the dev process, but it can save some headaches later on.

I hope that helps.
