Abusing the Road System

[Michael Betke]

I'm thinking of using the road system as a decal. It's easy to use/adjust in length and wide. The decal size made by TylerH is fixed as far as know.

So it would be easy to make a nice decaltexture and apply it as a road texture.

 

My problem is to delete the parts which prevent the road to flatten the terrain if I press the "allign to road" button.

 

Does simple file renaming the trick? I would still need "nodes". At least two of them to have a connection between them.

I would just use a single decal entity you write a script for. It can be much simpler than the road script.

decal on terrain ? script? entity ? yes, i would like to have decals on terrain

[Michael Betke]

Yes doing a script is easier but I cant do it hehe. I have to look for alternative ways and the road system came to my mind.

I think Tyler and Masterxilo may have posted their examples in the old forum.

Wouldn't it be just like the vegetation "decal" system?

/me is really interested in some kind of terrain decals that are also aligned to the terrain they are on =)

keep me posted

I think a real decal system built into the editor would be the best. a "decal" that you can paint on ANY surface..., not just the terrain

really a nice have. I like how they handled it.

[VicToMeyeZR]

Yeah. Not to advertise for them, cause I really don't like their company, and they lie about the capabilities of there system, but the decal is nice.
