| I want create a map/landscape editor, with an pre-builded map/landscape in b3d format. I will use a top view and i want find the "entityy" of my map, because i need to "drop" tree, house, grass, etc. in it. What way i can use to find the y value? Thanks Aza |
| ||
| If it is a top view, wouldn't you want the Y value - ie the terrain height? |
| ||
| Puki has a point ^_^. You might want to do a linepick straight down and grab the pickedY() value. |
| ||
| I am sorry and you have right. I wann find the y value.. Thanks to every one, then i can pick it with linepick... I'll try! Thanks guys.. Just last question normally you both answer in less then 10 minutes, how you do it? :) Aza |
| ||
| By posting. |
| ||
| :) |
| ||
| Another question on it, i cant try it now i don't have blitz in the office.. in the line pick command i must insert a dx, dy, dz, but if i want create a perpendicular line from the top, i just insert like this linepick,0,3000,0,0,-3000,0 It's correct? Aza |
| ||
| Just last question normally you both answer in less then 10 minutes, how you do it? :) By checking the forums obsessively 24 hours a day. I'd like the forums to email me when people reply to threads I've contributed to. |
| ||
| That would produce a line pick starting at (0,3000,0) and going -3000 DOWNWARDS on the Y axis. I'm not sure what your after :o) |
| ||
| And that is exactly i want to do!! Thanks Ross, but this time you are on late of 9 hours.. Too bad :) Aza |
| ||
| Gotta work man :o) |
| ||
| I could have answered straight away - I read the post about 10 times. I was playing hard-to-get. |
| ||
| Ross you can't work before answering me! :) Puki i have a question for you, what program you use to create mesh? I see one of your screenshoot, i see 3 person in it with cloth. The question is do you use cloth modifer or you normally create a mesh by yourself for any cloth? Aza |
| ||
| I'm not sure which picture you mean. Technically, I use the same software as do the artists at Bethesda Softworks and Arkane Studios, etc. If you are talking about cloth as in a flag, a hanging banner, a cloak/cape on a character, whereby I want it animated then, I would code the cloth separately - this allows you to Level Of Detail the scene. |
