      {
         if( obj == null )
            Log.Fatal( "CutSceneManager: EnableAnimationTreeTrigger: obj == null." );

         if( obj.IsSetDeleted )
            return;

         ////The class is not supported
         Log.Fatal( "CutSceneManager: EnableAnimationTreeTrigger: The class \"{0}\" is not supported.",
            obj.GetType().Name );

by the way, better to ask technical questions in the Help section.

Hello,

Very nice new features are the ones you are planning for the new version.
Are you planning to provide other cameras besides the perspective one? Like 3 orthographic fixed side view cameras?
Not in a split view, but rather by changing the camera view?. Many times, side views are very helpful in proper object alignment.

We have plan to implement these features (Many viewports, axis oriented orthographic view.
Will added in the next versions (1.3 or later).

A lot of games (mainly RTS) would also benefit from having this function in-game, modifying the terrain on-the-fly for seamless building placement. Is this even possible?

I dont see why not.

The map editor already has a function to level the terrain.

In the case of an RTS game, you could simple add an extra parameter to your building called "terrainRadius" or something similar and when placing the building it would automatically flatten the terrain to the appropriate radius of your building.

Well I'm worried about the network part. I guess terrain streaming would also help ^_^'

I think it would be nice and benefit pretty much everyone here to finally see these happen:-
Quote:
- Scene management: full culling in a outdoor, terrain culling
- Terrain: LOD support
A more optimised terrain mesh is really needed, at the moment it's difficult to make efficient terrain without losing details, or you can keep the details but feed the engine a lot of triangles.

Plains should be low-poly and rigid peaks should be high-poly.

yes, same request here.

I tried to scale an object with the new tool, and then by manually changing the scale property. But nothing happened and there was no error message.
I had to use the scaling tool to see what was actually wrong: "Objects with loaded physics model do not support scaling. [...]"
Can we have this error message displayed with the other tools too? Thanks.

My mapper friend was also asking for the ability to set smaller brush sizes (float numbers) for DecorativeObjectManager, so he can lay grass or stones in very precise areas.

I also want to bring drummingpariah's ideas back on the table:

Something I'd love to see that I don't think has been touched upon would be the ability to 'drop' physics-enabled objects into the map, and to have them settle into final resting places before the map is saved. It would save a lot of time for creating piles of objects, while enabling each of those objects to have active physics. The object placement tool doesn't quite allow this, it only allows placement with rotation.

Also, having a "flatten terrain under object" function would save me a lot of time, especially with large buildings placed on slightly sloping terrain. If the map editor had an option to automatically flatten the area that the bounding box touches, that would be very helpful.


Thanks in advance :)

The tools uses float internally, so using a value less than 1 should be ok but you need to do some changes in the editor source. See constructor of DecorativeObjectManagerArea.cs, adjust the clamping and follow variable toolRadius ( to change the input dialogue ).

Waiting for NeoAxis 1.3 with radius less than 1 numbers support.
