TGBX scrollers

by Jonathon Stevens · in Torque X 2D · 01/21/2007 (11:52 am) · 2 replies

I'm curious as to why scrollers are automatically created for you when you create a material? I don't use scrollers at all in the current game I'm in and it just takes up real estate in TGBX for me which is annoying. Obviously I can collapse the scrollers section, but why create them automatically? Even in scroller games, MOST materials wont be used as scrollers. Why not make it like animations where you can create it if you wish, but aren't forced to?

    Yeah... this issue has bothered me as well. Removing automatic generation of scrollers and making it an option to create would clean things up alot. Down with scrollers!

    I'll sign that petition!

    But even better, since *every* sprite is a scroller, why not just make it a checkbox on the 'edit' tab somewhere? Oh well, I'm not too bothered by collapsing it every time I open the thang.
