Sectors???

Post by SW_elite »

I found out that i had to add a sector to an object for you to be able to see through it, but so far it hasent worked for me. I read the documentation on it but it doesent directly tell you what you have to do. What I had done was placed the object, made a sector that completely surrounded the object, added the object to that sector. I tried that and it didnt work, so the I made a portal the covers the entire entrence and added that portal to the sector i made. I tried that and it didnt work either. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!

i think you misunderstood the whole portalsystem guide

in order to make an object see-through-able you need to give it transparency

Sectors and portals are used so that only what needs to be rendered is rendered. A good example is the Jedi Temple. There sectors and portals 'turn off' any parts of the map a player couldn't see at any given time, increasing framerate.

oh, i thought sectors and portals were for getting rid of all the terrain and other stuff out of the object, What i want is for a tunnel to be in a mound of dirt so that i can walk in and out of it?

You want a terrain cutter. This is special geometry added to specific objects (it shows up as a purple wireframe in ZE). See the topics linked to in the search for those keywords.

Maybe you should practice studying some of the basics of BF2 modding rather than attempting it head-on.
