Foliage question

Post by Destron »

OK, so I'm trying to add a Foliage entity to my map. But I'm having problems making it do what I want.
Let's see if I can explain this.
What I want is just a '3d' bitmap in my level, i.e. it doesn't angle itself so it's always facing you. I know this'll make it so there's an angle at which you can't see it (because it's 2d), but it's what I want.

Am I being too vague?

The foliage entity only does sprites that are always rotated to you, sorry. The only way i can think of is making the 2d bitmap an actor and then placing it into the level.
Everyone can see the difficult, but only the wise can see the simple.

How do I do that? I can't find anything about creating a 2d actor in the manual.

create a geometry brush, make it not visible or clipped or hinted. Then place over it a decal with the 2d image.

Destron, you are looking for a sprite. A 2D actor is called a sprite. Genesis supports this but i'm not sure if RF has it implemented.
