Bridges?

[mellevelence]

I made a bridge with the sprites, 513 and 514, a classic bridge. I got it working properly but the sprites are messed up. When you approach the bridge you can see the bridge edges poking through the ground to which it is attached. And I can see the railings that go in between while walking across the bridge at certain angles. How do I fix this? My bridge is shaped like a rectangle skinny box.

You can't unless you want to change the routine used for drawing sprites.

Make sure that the sprites are 1 sided

How do you need to make bridges? Just like that one at the end of hollywood holocaust..

I'm not much with that. Must I split the sector or what? If I split and pres page up it is not a bridge...

Umm.. splitting a sector gives you two sectors.. not a bridge images/icons/smile.gif Bridge like in Hollywood Holocaust can be made by sprites. Insert one by pressing "s" and make it flat by pressing "r" or press two times on "r" to get it flat on the ground. A sprite can be one-sided by pressing "1" on a sprite. You can raise the sprite's just with "page up" and lower them with "page down". You can also make the base of the bridge on the ground.. then go to 2d mode.. select the "sprite bridge" by dragging a square around it with the "shift button". Now get back to the 3d mode and press "page up" (or page down) on one of the selected sprites and voila.. all the selected sprites will raise. Now just raise it to the height you want. Gosh.. explaining this is a pain in the ass images/icons/smile.gif I hope you peeps now understand how this sh!t works.

And when using sprites to make a bridge, the sprite you going to use, leave it the original size(ie don't stetch it) thats what screws up the view, so use as many sprites as you need.

Use Blood or NWIV Build and make a sector over sector...

lol

Naw, make 1 sided sprites... should work fine.
