Real noob question on ScaleEntity

Dear all, Re-introducing (hyphenated?) myself to the 3D side of BB and am going through this fantastic book. However, there is an example on page 92 where they flip a simple shape using ScaleEntity object,1,1,-1. However, when I try to replicate it, it doesn't flip the shape but just adjusts the lighting! Graphics3D 640,480 SetBuffer BackBuffer() cone=CreateCone() light=CreateLight() cam=CreateCamera() PositionEntity cone,0,0,5 ScaleEntity cone,1,1,-1 EntityColor cone,125,201,190 While Not KeyDown(1) RenderWorld Flip Wend End Please feel free to point and laugh. Many thanks. Tobo |

Hi Tobo, I guessed that old statement was ScaleEntity object,1,1,1 and you changed 1 to -1. If so, it already flipped the shape, not just adjusted the lighting. You could open official example file "ScaleEntity.bb" for details. |

oh!!! I learned Blitz on that book!!!! w00t! what's happening is that the entity is actually flipping, but it's flipping on the z axis, so it's not really visible the the veiwer, try scaleentity cone,-1,1,1 or scaleentity cone,1,-1,1 I read that whole book in less then a month. :D hope I helped Andrew |
