Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

This seems like it might be a good topic for a tutorial, although it's relatively easy I guess. Actually I'm wondering why the tutorial maps
that come with Sandbox don't have some instructional text with them. Although it may not be easy or possible to verify that the person
is actually doing the actions suggested, still a list of in-game interactive tasks as a tutorial might be a good idea. Maybe a scripted bot
that starts out "Hi, I'm BudBot. I'll help you build your very own house. I response to these commands: 'next', 'task n', 'startover', 'help'."
You get the idea. Lots of scripting, I guess.

Hello, here's my response to that:
That would be WAY to complicated. so instead, check out here:

Making a house roof it is quite simple actually...To make sloped roofs like here: http://i46.tinypic.com/1t4lc8.png
You will have to do following:

* First make the area you want to make sloped from cubes like this: http://i48.tinypic.com/2zrf3gg.png
* Then select one row of the edges
* Hold down Q and point your mouse to the edge of the cube. (doesn´t matter which cube of the selected cubes)
* scroll your mousewheel forward (You still need to be holding Q)
* Do this for all of the rows and You have a nice roof

Also you can get he same affect as above but instead you push your middle mouse button then you scroll. instead of holding q and scrolling. hope this helped.

How would you do this with a touchy screen thing on a laptop?

Q i think.. Cheers

probably better to get a mouse (with a scroll wheel).
