restricting actor to part of the floor
« on: September 02, 2013, 06:47:28 AM »
Is there a way to restrict a 3D actor to part of the floor?  I have a scene where there is a receptionist behind a desk and the main actor is in front of the desk.  Is there a way to have the desk be between the two models?

In a 2.5D game with geometry.
In a 2D game (but also in a 2.5D work) you have to create 2 floor and put the desk between them.

Something like that:
- floor for receptionist
- image of the desk covering the receptionist
- main floor

Also you could "cut" the receptionist image :)

I'm not sure if I understand you right but I think that you can define a region behind the desk and then use the StickToRegion method of the 3D actor to force the actor to stay in that region.

Thanks!  I was using StickToRegion in another part of the program (I have a dog on a table) so I don't know why I didn't think to use it for the receptionist.
