ShadowIce	Hi all. Once again, I have a small problem. See, What I need is for the bottom sphere in this character select to change from blue to yellow. Problem is the spheres are still white, and not changing colors as each sphere passes through the bottom. watch this video. this is EXACTLY the way I need it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY6KVgAE9BY Thanks for the help! ~Shadow

HoboBen	Been a long while since I used Blitz, but skimming through the help files, your options seem to be CreateBrush & BrushColor or perhaps more simply if your spheres don't have a texture you can just use vertex colors: mySurface = GetSurface(mesh, 1) n = CountVertices(mySurface) For i = 1 to n VertexColor mySurface, i, red#, green#, blue# Next --v IIRC, the red, green, blue values should be in the range 0 - 1.0 -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

Mog	There is such a feature as the EDIT button, also your code is missing the media so it makes it hard to test it. The problem is, you're setting your colors to white when SelectedArray is 5(?). You need to switch the colors every time you hit a key, or just have a catch-all loop to run through each entity and color the appropriate sphere you have selected. Give me a bit and i'll post some fixed code- you also seem to have an 'off by one' flub here.

JL235	Months for 150 lines of code? That's pretty slow. His suggestion wasn't to rewrite the code, it was to protoype a version that switched between two models and then integrate the workings from that into your current code. The one thing I disagree with is that you should build a system that can switch between any number of objects, not just two.
Sun, 23 May 2010, 10:29
ShadowIce	i am trying to do that. but 1st, i have to build a prototype with just 2.
Sun, 23 May 2010, 11:53
bram32	Yes, prototype first, then intergrate with the existing code. Beside that, if needed, there is nothing wrong with rewriting your code. It helps to remember and learn. Reason of my advice is that, in your code, you are using the same variable to store two handles. That means that the first object cannot be reached anymore. In a way, you're doing something along the lines of this: mymodel = loadmesh("dwarf1.b3d") mymodel = loadmesh("dwarf2.b3d") --v Now, two models are loaded, but you can only use the second one. Better is, to use something like this: dim mymodel(2) mymodel(1) = loadmesh("dwarf1.b3d") mymodel(2) = loadmesh("dwarf2.b3d") --v Then, both objects can still be used.

ShadowIce	and no, i don't want you to do it for me. i just want something other than "o, i think you should rewrite it cuz it's wrong" it is NOT wrong.. there is only one SMALL glitch..

shroom_monk	I don't think he's saying to rewrite the whole thing from scratch. What he means is to test separately in another program the piece of code you need to fix, then, once it's working and you understand how it works, use that piece of code in your main program. He's not saying the existing code is wrong - as you say, it's just one small glitch. But small glitches in long pieces of code are easier to fix if you isolate them and test fixes for them in a small, controlled environment where you don't have the whole program interfering. -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away...

ShadowIce	it doesnt even WARRANT isolating the code. all's i need to know is how to hide the 1st object, and switch to the 2nd and 3rd. etc. that's IT. NOTHING else.

shroom_monk	Well, I don't much about the commands of Blitz3D, but isn't there a help file in B3D? I'm pretty sure that lists all the commands in the language, including the command for hiding objects. -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

ShadowIce	i know how to hide it and show it. i just don't know how to switch between them.

bram32	Hide the first one and show the second one. Then later on, show the second one and hide the first one.

ShadowIce	i'm close, but still don't get it.. ; congratulations i corrected it for you:ps: copy and past model and position code for your other charectors the one's with the notes sign:!!!!!

If the code is fixed, then the models work.
