"Folding" sprites |
CONAN |
Very hard (impossible) to implement |
Description |
By "fold itself", I mean fold itself. Have you played Half-life? Of
course you have. If you shoot a rocket at a corner, the black wall burn
mark doesn't only appear on one of the walls... half of it is aligned to
one wall, the other half is aligned to the other wall. It "folds itself"
between the walls. Currently, in Duke, if that happens then the sprite
will only spawn on one wall, and if its in a corner than half of the
sprite will be on one wall, but half of it will be sticking right
through the other wall. It doesn't look good. |
Matt's Comments |
This is pretty much a limitation of Build-type engines. "Folding" would require making multiple sprites on each of the "folds". And automatically mapping them to the appropriate place and with the appriate texture size/offsets to look 'right'. Sounds damn hard. |
