texture trouble

Post by sid6.7 »

okay i dont know if its really an error but i found
something different....

i have a box1 with a tele1 sitting on it...
NOT embedded...

i have a box2 with tele2 sitting on it...
NOT embedded...

if you put a texture on BOX2 you can no longer
go thru tele1 to tele2...you can go thru tele2 back to 1
though...

so...i am thinking that a texture has a thickness
that interferes with the tele(embedding it)...

what is the exact thickness?

OR
i made box2 a MESHBOX does it change the thickness?

I have notice this also in a little test map that I did. I had a wall. There was a block on top of it imbedded so you can drive over it. Then I put a texture on the top box and then all of a sudden I could'nt drive over it...

meshes and teles

Post by sid6.7 »

yep figured it out....

if an item is a meshbox(box) and you want to put a tele
on it it wont be a two-way tele...it will only be one way
(driving thru it) as the meshbox does something wierd
to a tele resting on it....

i tried many variations of hieght for the tele on the meshbox
but you cant go back thru with out jumping up thru the tele..

if you try an leave the tele flush on the meshbox then the
other tele trying to connnect to wont work unless you jump thru it...

so smooth two-ways are now dead if you use meshboxes....

Actually, not really.

I have a meshbox with a tele on top, and a tele on the ground. The two are linked. Before, they didn't work. The tele on the meshbox was 20 units high, which was as big as the meshbox. It rested perfectly at 20 units. I played around with the units, and I changed the tele to 20.0 units high. For some reason now it works. both ways. I guess you have to have the trailling decimal.

that would be a slight bug then to require a trailing decimal for a round number...

This version has some weird issues. As I have told Sid ad Brad. I was testing a map (Brad's Mirror map) I change all the textures to red and blue (Blue on one side and Red on the other.) But when I got there everything was DRIVETHROUGH. Then Brad joined and it all changed to normal. The maps might be alive :)
