[Help] My roads keep resetting

Post by Pvt.LHeureux »

Hello, currently I'm making a map but I've run in a minor problem with my roads.

I do "build final road" when I'm satisfied with my road or "build all final roads" when I'm satisfied with all my current roads, then because we can't have nice things there is parts of the terrain that go through my roads. So I take the terrain tools, fix those problems, then when everything is perfect, I do "save all". So far so good.

But the problem is when I load my map again in the editor, my roads are ghost roads again, floating above the terrain, like I never built them :(

So if I do "build road" again, there is again parts of the terrain that goes through them, lowering the terrain each time I fix them.

It's a minor problem but it's annoying.

Roads always start as "ghost road", that's normal. When you click "build final road", it builds the road-stuff needed to display it properly in-game.

And regarding terrain going through your road, make sure the road floats above the terrain. I always let my roads float above the terrain a bit. When you do a "final road", it'll attach itself to the terrain and no terrain will stick through it.

That's exactly what I do, I let them float above the terrain, then when I build them parts of the terrain goes through them. Is it only like that in the editor? Like when I do animations the editor does not show how they really look in-game.

it can be a bit hit and miss, best results are received when you get "apply" the road so that it forces the terrain to conform to it, thats also a good way of building ramps etc that work well ingame.

Been there done that, but it's still there. I'll take care of that on the final parts of my map, still got more to do.

Roads will always be ghost roads when the editor is restarted. The roads should be fine ingame.
