Walldecals on the floor

Post by Lynkyn »

Hello!
Why I cant put walldecals on the floor? for example, I put the parametres (orientation) 0, 180, -90, the arrow looks down, and, when I complile the level, the decal is on the walls or on the top
It is a bug? or the ''wall'' decals cannot be put on floors?

Thanks :wink:

Please read the manual. :(
First, never, NEVER use the mouse to rotate the direction arrow. You'll never get things to work again if you do. Instead, use the entity editor to change the values of Angle. To place the decal on a wall set X and Z to 0 and Y to 0, 90, 180 or 270. The arrow will point in the correct direction and you can move the entity to get the correct spot (where the arrow intersects the wall). To place it on the floor set Y to 90, Z to 0 and X to -90. The arrow will point down and you can move the entity to the proper location. To place on ceilings set Y to 90, Z to 0 and X to 90. The arrow points up correctly. Using any other values will give strange results as the direction arrow points off in whatever direction it wants and the decal can end up in a totally different position.

I have always used the mouse to rotate the arrow and I haven't had any problems with that...
probably a bug :D
