Fix for missing terrain brush when "tiled" is turned off

by Matt Fairfax · in Torque Game Engine · 06/09/2007 (5:36 pm) · 2 replies

Whenever you disable/uncheck "tiled" on a TerrainBlock you can no longer use the TerrainEditor to make changes to it.

It turns out that this is because of a *long* standing bug in TerrainEditor::collide() where it was using the wrong transform.

To fix this go into editor\terrainEditor.cc and find bool TerrainEditor::collide() and change this code:

mTerrainBlock->getTransform().mulP(startPnt, &tStartPnt);
   mTerrainBlock->getTransform().mulP(endPnt, &tEndPnt);

to

mTerrainBlock->getWorldTransform().mulP(startPnt, &tStartPnt);
   mTerrainBlock->getWorldTransform().mulP(endPnt, &tEndPnt);

This should fix you right up and allow you to edit the terrain when the tiling is off.

    This will also fix any issues you might have with the RTS starter kit and turning tiling off.
