Actor (typelyb) and display type

Anonymous
When I make an object an actor it seems to ignore what I put in the display type. Is there a way to have the actor checked in typelib and still use the display type field to show in the window?

Yes there is.

Assuming you are using QDK - unfortunately the current release of typelib will ignore whatever you put in the provided 'displaytype' field of the QDK interface, but you can easily work around this by setting a property 'displaytype' to read whatever you want.

To do this in QDK:

Select object & click EDIT OBJECT
Click on INTERACTIONS Tab
Click EDIT PROPERTIES AND ACTIONS
(make sure you are on the PROPERTIES tab then)
Click ADD
In the 'name' box type displaytype

in the 'value box type dude (or whatever you want displayed)
Click OK
Click OK again to get back to main QDK screen

That'll do it. :-)
