Help with Entrance to tunnel

by Chris Corte-Real · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 03/25/2009 (7:11 am) · 3 replies

I have made a staircase that goes down under the ground and into a tunnel, but when the stairs enter the ground the grass from the terrain runs into it and I can't access my tunnel. I have seen caves that go into mountains and such and I would like to know how to do this. If any one can help me or point me to a article or tutorial I would greatly appreciate it.

You will have to cut a hole in the terrain in order to do what your talking about.

Once your map has loaded, switch to editing mode by hitting F11. Enter terrain editing mode via F6. Select "Set Empty" tool from the action menu. This will allow you to draw out your shape of where you want to delete the terrain. Once you've highlighted the area you want to delete, go to Action and press Clear empty and it will delete the area.

Hope this helps.
