Bug?: Absolute mode for ScaleEntity() for Cylinder does not work?
Test yourself:
Code: Select all
InitEngine3D()
InitSprite():InitKeyboard():InitMouse()
OpenWindow(0,0,0,800,600,"tip",#PB_Window_BorderLess|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0),0,0,800,600,0,0,0,#PB_Screen_WaitSynchronization)
Add3DArchive(#PB_Compiler_Home+"examples/3D/Data/Textures",#PB_3DArchive_FileSystem)
CreateLight(0,$EEEEEE,4,4,2,#PB_Light_Point)
CreateCamera(0,0,0,100,100)
MoveCamera(0,0,0,6,#PB_Absolute)
LoadTexture(0,"soil_wall.jpg")
CreateMaterial(0,TextureID(0))
CreateCylinder(0,0.1,2)
CreateEntity(0,MeshID(0),MaterialID(0),-1,0,0)
CreateEntity(1,MeshID(0),MaterialID(0),1,0,0)
Repeat
ExamineKeyboard()
WindowEvent()
If KeyboardReleased(#PB_Key_Right)
ScaleEntity(1,1,1,1,#PB_Absolute)
EndIf
RenderWorld()
FlipBuffers()
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape)

sclae fonction multiply the dimensions
if you multiply by 1, there is no difereence
try with :
ScaleEntity(1,1,2,1,#PB_Absolute)

I wrote ScaleEntity(1,1,1,1,#PB_Absolute) on purpose, because manual says:
#PB_Absolute: absolute scale, in world unit.

ScaleEntity(0,x,y,z,#PB_Relative)
Scales the entity, combining it's current scale with the passed in scaling factor.
@remarks
This method applies an extra scaling factor To the entity's existing scale, (unlike ScaleEntity(0,x,y,z,#PB_Absolute) which overwrites it) combining it's current scale with the new one.

"in world unit" : it doesn't make sense
(should be removed from the doc)

Dear pf shadoko,
At least I miss some critical thing, it has all the sense, and I am not able to understand your position this time.
Manual:
#PB_Relative: relative scale, based on the previous size (default). Using 1.0 for scale value will let this value unchanged.
#PB_Absolute: absolute scale, in world unit.

I will complete the explanations of comtois:
for example if you have a sphere of radius 5
relative scale of 2 -> radius =2*5 = 10
relative scale of 3 -> radius =3*10 = 30
relative scale of 5 -> radius =5*30 = 150
absolute scale of 2 -> radius =2*5 = 10
absolute scale of 3 -> radius =3*5 = 15
absolute scale of 5 -> radius =5*5 = 25
the relative scale multiplies the current dimension of the entity
the absolute scale multiplies the initial dimension of the entity

So, That IS NOT the meaning of the word "absolute". Please respect semantic at least a minimum.
