blk_region problem (SOLVED KIND OF)
« on: August 12, 2009, 02:28:46 AM »

Hi guys...again :)
I have another problem and this time it's with the "blk_" naming convention for blocked regions. I have named the mesh in the middle of the following pic "blk_flower" but for some reason the character still treats it like its not there (not named properly)



Anyone know why it's doing that?
Cheers  ::beer

If you use "Find path using 2D elements only" the blk_ in geometry only works for stencil shadows, not as blocked region.
You have to set a blocked region by creating it in SceneEdit.

Hi there,
Ok so what if I untick the "Find path using 2D elements only" box, will it work then?
I want to have it so that when the character walks behind it and infront of it, the character appears and dissapears accordingly.

Sorry, with "Find path using 2D elements only" the blk_ also hides the actors :P

Yes if you untick it the actor should not be able to go trough the blk_.
Also you need a .geometry file as written in documentation.

Obviously if you untick "Find path using 2D elements only" you have to put waypoints in the 3DS of the scene.

Hi man,
I tried that and it still doesn't work. I have no idea WTH! is going on. I even looked at the 3D source that i downloaded from here, sorry to the creator for not remembering your name. It has a couch in one of the scenes that acts the way i want the flower orniment in our game to act but i looked in his 3ds file and it has blk_sofa_none for the name so i even changed mine to that but it still didn't work and i even copied his settings for the scene and nothing happens. Is the shadow file needed and if so what for?

Do you have a .geometry file with the same name of the 3ds in the scene's folder?

Yeah, I created one and put the stuff from the WME doc in there and still nothing. Any ideas?

You shouldn't rely on the hidden geometry to mask the actors for you. It only works for stencil shadows and it's bit of a side effect. Scene layering should be done using the good old 2D way, as described in Scene creation tutorial in the docs.
