Boolean Puzzles

Today I set up a small puzzle involving Boolean variables. It consists of rotating wheels in the right position. It is simple and silly, but it is the base for other puzzles.

The Setup:

Fractured Static meshes

Creating a fractured static mesh means that it will be destroyable in-game, adding more details to your game, and it is a very simple process. Start by selecting a static mesh on the content browser. Double clicking on it will open a new tab where you can edit it. On the top you find the Fracture tool, click it to open and start destroying your mesh.

Material / Textures in UDK

I've added a few textures to the surfaces in my level in UDK. To add them you can simply click and drag them from the content browser to the world. An easier way to add them quickly is by adding one, Alt+Right click on the texture and then Alt+Left click on the new surface.

To edit the texture, the shortcut is F5, rather than F4 for everything else. You can change the positioning, scaling and many other options in that menu.
