Hello, I have been trying to create roads by using the editors road tool. I have been looking at these tutorials while doing it:
Roads - Detailed Explanation - Official BF Editor Forums
Understanding Roads
they are basically the same tutorial only diffrence is the pics on skribbulz.
They say you can place spline points by either right-clicking on the ground and pressing "create new spline" or you can hold alt while pressing left mouse button.
My problem is i seem to be using 2 diffrent functions when doing it in these 2 ways.
When i do it by holding alt it connects the blue spline points with a blue line between all the points. When i do it by right-clicking on the ground i only get the points without the connections.
Doing it by right-clicking splines:
after i made my first spline, I create the control point, then i continue placing out about 6 more splines in the shape i want the road to go. Then i mark a point in the middle of the road. After that i chose a road template(by just marking it in the resource tab i guess) so i am able to see the parameters(width of the road etc.). Then i press connect in the right window. It now asks me for a name of the road, after that i should see all the points connect according to the tuts i followed, but i don't ? :S Nothing happens...
Doing it by holding alt and left clicking on ground:
If i do it with alt and left click i automatically get the connection-line between the points, and I am now able to double click on a middle point to make it mark all of the points, which is not possible when adding the points by right-clicking. and now as I wrote this I tried it out and now I got it to work, but only with the alt left-click solution to add the spline points.
It seems to be some bug with the connection thing, or am i just doing it wrong? Appriciate all the help i can get:)
