Title: multiple base lines
Post by: on Sat 17/01/2009 01:22:12
 :P it might be in the tutorials but I didn't see it,
when you create walk-behind areas, can you make more than one base line?
sorry if it was in the tutorials but i didn't see it

No.  Each walk behind has a single baseline, and I'm not sure why you'd need more than one for a single area since you can use multiple walk behinds as needed.  You can also change the baseline at run time if you need the player to appear in front of something if he's climbing over it, for instance.

I'm guessing that your problem can be solved by using more than one walk-behind, but if you need to use only one for some reason, it should be pretty easy using scripts. Basically, you're going to want to check where the character is and move the baseline to where you need it.

It'll be easier to help with this if we have a specific and detailed description of the situation you're having trouble with.

Must be an echo in here.  I could swear I said 99% of that already!  ;D

i want to put a closet in a room but i also need the door's entrance to be a walk behind,
but it is at the bottom left or the room, the closet is at the top right

So you have several walk behind areas, and need a separate baseline for each, right?

That's easy. In the editor, you  choose one base line for each area. No reason whatsoever
to choose the same one.
