Floating trees

Post by sagevanni »

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know a workable way to detect and move or delete floating trees? The thing is they only show up in the game not APCD.

Pre thanks to anyone who knows a solution.

Sage....... :cheers1:

I see the objects, or some of them at least, are you saying no objects whatsoever show up in your APCD?

And you have checked that the view you're trying to view them in is the Perspective view and that 2D objects are turned on?

All objects show up in the APCD. There are some floating trees and bushes in the actual game that do not show as floating in the APCD.

Ah, that usually depends on the viewing angle, since the 2D objects rotate to face where one is viewing it from. Therefore, some objects (particularly ones standing on a slope and whose trunks/bottoms are not centered in the image) will appear to float from some viewing angles while not at all from other angles.

I dont think there is any quick way to find them, but if you find one, you can usually guess that many other instances of that one particular object will be floating in other places too, so then one heavy-handed but quick method could be to use the "select all of type" 2D object function and move down all at once.

Sage - if it helps, Lez Marwick deals with aspects of this problem towards the end of his video 38.

I think that video addresses floating trees in APCD not the game.
