TGBX Bug: Linkpoint names
by Jonathon Stevens · in Torque X 2D · 01/17/2007 (9:19 pm) · 2 replies
First, there's nowhere to set the linkpoint name in TGBX. Then, if you change it in xml, TGBX changes it BACK to the original 'linkpoint#' name when the level is saved, even if you didn't touch the linkpoints.

I suggest just using the names "LinkPointN" in your code (where N, of course, is the number of the link point). Not very OO I know, but what I'm doing is making constants to reference them. I can then mount to ARROW_LINK_POINT instead of "LinkPoint1" which makes me feel a little better about the situation.
