Author Topic: Positioning the Tower within the Airfield (Read 606 times)

Hello guys!

I have a question.
I just made this tiny map, just to experiment with the current version of the Terrain Editor, and I have an issue.

I'd like to reposition the tower within each Airfiled and give it a certain rotation after I place it in the position I want. I don't want to rotate the entire Airfield, only the tower, and place it somewhere else within the Airfield.
I wonder how would I do that, because I cannot figure out how would you select and manipulate small objects (Tower) within the big (group of) objects (Airfield).

Thank You!!

To move the tower, you need to build a completely new airfield with the object editor and make sure the .shp file is in your texsrc folder when you are working on your terrain.

NOTE: The current version of AH does not allow for custom objects. So, you'll only be able to view them in the TE.

Hello NHawk!

Thank you for your answer... but I'm actually a noob at any type of editing in AH/AH II. So far I only made very basic terrains nothing else. I never opened Object Editor nor Cloud Editor before,
Is there any step-by-step tutorial on how to do that? because I really have no idea. or could you please put up with me and teach me?

One more question.
After I made this terrain, I'd like to know if in case I modify it, and leave its name UNCHANGED, will people that already downloaded the previous version of it on their hard drive be able to connect and play when I host again with the new version, or I'll have to buid it from the ground up with a different name, so they will be able to come and play? I mean will their previous version of the terrain get overwritten by the new one or not?

Thank you very much!

If you add a custom airfield or any custom object, nobody including yourself will be able to use the map.

If you make any change whatsoever after people have downloaded it you have to rename it or there will be conflicting versions makeing it unplayable.

Hello guys!

Thank you for your thoughts!

So, BHawk, if I understand right it's not quit possible what I want... because I remember in an older version of the editor that was actually possible, as I've done it, couple of years ago in the original AH. You could remove and rotate those little objects like machineguns, acks and so forth.

Zmeg!! nice to see you again old buddy, don't know if you remember me, but we played toghether couple of times long ago, on your terrains.
Well that's ok I have no problem with making the stuff from the ground up, even though is would be really handy if we could have the option to "Save As", so you can rename it.

Thank you guys!
