In Reply to: Almost there with sectors - Give it up for Stealth and CogKing for the great job! posted by Dave on January 05, 1998 at 23:09:50:
> First of all I would like to thank Stealth and CogKing for all the help. Although what you two said isnt entirely correct for building a room, its very close, no doubt if you were doing it yourself at the time you would have gotten it word for word. Your right, you cleave the room - the box, then the next thing you do is unadjoin all the walls of the box, so that you can not walk through them and so the textures show up - (that part was left out.)
> Now here comes the most difficult task. How would I go about lowering the ceiling from the rest of the larger sector. when I click on the verticies at the top there are three at each of the four corners. I've tried pulling each one down, and theres like only one combination that will form a surface to place textures on, but.... for some reason it shows up as adjoined and you can't unadjoin it. It has a cleave right through the middle of the box but still appears as a pillar, not bringing the cealing down, even though the surface that is suppossed to be textured is lower.
> Another go I gave at it, was to go to the top surface and extrude it, then click on the surface at the top of the extruded sector, and to pull it back inside where I wanted the ceiling to be, but once again you cant unadjoin it, therefore making the textures show up, or not being able to walk through it, or in this instance stand on top of it.
> Any tricks known? I'm looking for the answer, but still trying my hardest to find it for myself as well. Once again, thanks for all the help CogKing and Stealth, and all the others.
> Thanks for your time, Dave
No, you don't UNADJOIN the walls, you DELETE the wall SECTORS.
That takes them out of the world and creates a real solid wall. If you
use undjoin you've got paper thin walls...
I'll make a series of .jed files demonstrating this ASAP, but I'm mega busy
finishing a project of mine that has to be finished thursday...
