In the roomeditor you can set for objects/walkbehinds etc... a baseline, but the baseline is always horizontal. If it was possible to be able to choose between the horizontal/vertical baseline, then gamepossibilities would grow much bigger. It would also be handy to be able to choose for both coordinates as baseline. Is this possible?
Just out of curiosity, what possibilities do you have in mind?
(For some reason, the word curiosity looks as though it is spelled wrong.)
Actually, it would be a lot more useful if we could select any angle.. I can't think of many uses for vertical baselines, but diagonal lines would be nice (for isometric-style points of view)..
Isometric can be still done, but it's kinda tricky. You have to seperate the walk-behinds to square based- blocks (which, in isometric, have exactly double width than depth) and position the baseline on the middle of its base
Angled baselines are a possibility, but they would greatly increase the complexity of run-time checks to identify what is behind what - currently it's just a simple Y co-ord check.

Hi sorry for bringing this topic back up but Guybrush Peepwood could you explain more on how you can use walk behinds on iso objects
