HPL3/Level Design/Working with Primitives

Primitives

Primitives are basic geometrical objects that can be used to shape up map geometry along with Static Objects

General Parameters

• Name: Name of the primitive.
• Position: 3D Vector storing the position in world of the primitive pivot.
• Rotation: 3D Vector storing the rotation.
• Scale: 3D Vector storing the scale of the primitive.

Primitive Specific

• Material: Material file for the primitive.
• Collides: If enabled, the primitive will keep entities (player included) from getting through it.
• Cast Shadows: If enabled, the primitive will cast shadows when illuminated by a properly set up light.

Plane Specific

• Tile amount: amount of repetition of the texture along the axes. The less, the bigger the texture pattern will look.
• Tile offset: offset on the texture coordinates.
• Texture angle: rotation of the texture applied on the plane.
• Align To World Coords: if enabled, texture coordinates will be set according to world coordinates. Useful to get seamless floors/ceilings made out of several planes.
