$pref::WorldEditor BUG
by Caylo Gypsyblood · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 01/24/2009 (5:21 am) · 5 replies
World editor dont load and use $pref as saved in pref.cs file.
#2
$pref::WorldEditor::dropType = "screenCenter";
I want
$pref::WorldEditor::dropType = "atCameraRot";
I set the pref in the editor at runtime, exit and check that it is indeed saved to pref file. But once restarted it defaults back to
$pref::WorldEditor::dropType = "screenCenter";
Same with others i have set. Some do seem save and persist just fine.

One example: $pref::WorldEditor::dropType = "screenCenter";
I want
$pref::WorldEditor::dropType = "atCameraRot";

Reproduced this. The issue is with how the editor initializes its menus. This may or may not get fixed in 1.8.1.

Awww. Is it an script file problem? I guess a workable fix for me then would be hard code the prefs as defaults.

Thanks for reporting, Caylo.
NB: the editor prefs are actually stored on the EWorldEditor object, so settings made to $pref::WorldEditor while the game is running will get overwritten.

Ok, fixed. It was actually just dropType. It got stomped by the menubar init code.Thanks for reporting, Caylo.

It would be helpful if you were a little more elaborate when writing a report.
If I understand correctly, you mean that the world editor is not restoring saved preferences. However, I checked this and the editor saves and loads its settings alright.
