ingenium1	mmm... i want to place a texture on a textured terrain... like a circle to indicate what unit i have selected... how can I? -=-=- Roger Federer is go(o)d. But he is not alone. Just relax... sometimes there's no need to argue.

HoboBen	Could you align a sprite 0.1 up off the surface, parented to the model of the unit(s)? I know you may be using a terrain where this sprite would go into the hills a little where the slope changes, but I've seen this happen on a lot of games. You could perhaps find a way to measure the slope of the terrain, using TerrainHeight(x,y), and angle the sprite accordingly, which may be something to think about. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

ingenium1	No i can't use a sprite... And i have no hills... only high mountains... -=-=- Roger Federer is go(o)d. But he is not alone. Just relax... sometimes there's no need to argue.

HoboBen	Okay, well, a few ideas to maybe think about... How about other solutions involving EntityOrder, to draw something that is always displayed (although, again, a sprite, unless you want a mesh) The method I first posted, but using a plain white sprite, and using entitycolor and entityalpha to just change the colour of the texture underneath? Something slow involving dynamically generating hightmaps! ;-p -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

ingenium1	nah doesn't work as i want to... i have an image to make more clear my question: as you can see there is a red piece of texture under the main character, not a sprite -=-=- Roger Federer is go(o)d. But he is not alone. Just relax... sometimes there's no need to argue.
