SetMeshMaterial

[Polo]

Does this function really work with submeshes?

I'm trying to use it but the final mesh remains white.
If I specify the same material when attaching the mesh to the entity then the mesh is textured.

I'm basically doing:

Code: Select all

mesh=CreateMesh(#PB_Any)
AddSubMesh()
SetMeshMaterial(mesh,materialID,0)

-- vertices/faces --


FinishMesh()
UpdateMeshBoundingBox(mesh)
entity = CreateEntity(#PB_Any,MeshID(mesh),#PB_Material_None)

Wherever I put the SetMeshMaterial (before or after adding faces) it doesn't change anything.

Try this way, after FinishMesh()

Code: Select all

mesh=CreateMesh(#PB_Any)
AddSubMesh()

-- vertices/faces --


FinishMesh()

SetMeshMaterial(mesh,materialID,0)

UpdateMeshBoundingBox(mesh)


entity = CreateEntity(#PB_Any,MeshID(mesh),#PB_Material_None)

Thanks it works! This should be documented if possible

I will add an example, may be shorter than this one

Code: Select all

Great!

what direction does the light look? And is there a way to rotate the light?
Other questions I have: If the light is attached to a node and the node is moved/rotated, the light is moved and rotated? (yep, in the manual they say that nodes are always rotated/moved relative to the node they're attached to, but does this work for lights, too?
