I have the BW terrain ID as "1" and when I use the pick object command to use with my mouse, the pick object isn't detecting the BW terrain.

What could I be doing wrong? What are the usual suspects. Other than that, BWT works just fine....at least twice as fast as Advanced Terrain on my modest laptop.

errr is it setup as a matrix or an object? From what I recall Matrixes do not usually act as objects... they have Matrix IDs not Object IDs in DBP... so check with the documentation if the terrain is given anything other than ID/Object ID...

I would say, export it first then load it in as am object, unless your intentions are different...

The documentation says it supposed to act as an object with an "ObjectID".

I just tried the same code with the Advanced Terrain terrain and the pick object command works as it should. Hmmm....

in that case, export it as an object and load it back in, see if that works first to diagnose the possibilities of it being a compiler issue... after that it can be aimed at BWT ^^

hey mate, I know that BT uses the object number to reference the terrain but I don't think it actually acts as an object. you need to make an object from the terrain.

bt maketerrainobject Terrain_no,lod_level,object_no

this command will make an object from the terrain that you can use for collision and pick commands.

each sector will be an individual limb which is handy.

Kezzla, I dont seem to be using the "bt maketerrainobject" right. The program keeps crashing. here's the code snippet that I currently have.

you are setting the terrain object to the same number that BT uses to reference the terrain. try

bt maketerrainobject g_terrainobjectid,0,2

That did the trick Kezzla, only if the Blitzwerks help file had this in there in the first place.....but it is the free version so I can't complain with the results really-
