T3D 1.1 Beta 3 - TSStatic does not update on setTransform - NOT A BUG
by Marcus L · in Torque 3D Professional · 12/29/2010 (10:54 pm) · 6 replies
Build: 1.1 Beta 3 Pro
Platform: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Target: Networking, In-game
Issue: Not sure if it was intended, but apparently TSStatics' does not update properly on setPosition.
Steps to repeat:
1. Create a TSStatic
2. Go to the console and type objID.setTransform(playerID.getTransform());
3. Server object is moved, but client stays the same
Suggested Fix: Make TSStatics' update on setTransform. Here are the fixed files for those who want

I'm fairly certain that TSStatic is not intended to be moved once placed (excluding mission editing, of course). It is quite a light class and should probably stay that way.
You could derive your own version from it and add in the transform network bits. But do keep in mind that there is no client-side interpolation, so the object will pop to its new position if you're continuously moving it.

What I did is modify the scale twice, once to modifiy it and once to restore it (because setting the scale to the already scale value will be ignored).

Or you can revert to the old trick to modify the scale of the object to make it 'dirty'.What I did is modify the scale twice, once to modifiy it and once to restore it (because setting the scale to the already scale value will be ignored).

Catching up on some bugs that got logged during the spin up. Dave's right, TSStatic isn't intended to be moved. Marked as not a bug and moved to T3D General.
