Adding more entityblend?

| Does anyone know how to add a higher entity blend to an entity? I'm trying to make my entities have a glowish,bloomish effect without using any extensions, but it's incredibly slow and lags to much. This was the code that I used to make my experimental effect. This is the "Main.bb" Include "CodePart1.bb" Include "CodePart2.bb" Graphics3D 800, 600, 0, 2 InitGraphics() While Not KeyHit(1) Render() RenderWorld Flip Wend This is the "CodePart1.bb" Function InitGraphics() Graphics3D 800, 600, 0, 2 SetBuffer BackBuffer() AmbientLight 70,70,70 camera=CreateCamera() PositionEntity camera,0,0,-10 light=CreateLight(2) tex=LoadTexture ("media/ffg2.jpg") CameraClsColor camera,0,0,10 stage=LoadMesh ("media/stage2.b3d") EntityTexture stage,tex ScaleEntity stage,.1,.1,.1 Flip End Function End This is the "CodePart2.bb" Function Render() camera=CreateCamera() AmbientLight 70,70,70 PositionEntity camera,0,0,-10 light=CreateLight(2) tex=LoadTexture ("media/ffg2.jpg") CameraClsColor camera,0,0,10 stage=LoadMesh ("media/stage2.b3d") EntityTexture stage,tex ScaleEntity stage,.1,.1,.1 EntityBlend stage,3 Flip End Function If you tried out the code, you would see how the glowish,bloomish effect starts to take effect after a little while, but it builds up too slowly,and it LAGS very much. Once again, does anyone know how to add a higher blend effect? Please reply,thanks;) |

| You're repeatedly loading meshes and creating lights/cameras in your main loop (via your Render() function), which is going to cause lag and a colossal memory leak. |

| I can see he did not learn much once everyone just started pasting code in another thread... First of all, you do not need includes in this stage of learning. Too many files will only get confusing for anyone. Second, you do not need a function for everything. People in the other thread were just explaining that you can put anything in a function. Look at your Render() function, you are calling it every loop. Under the declaration of the function, you are creating a camera, a light, and loading a mesh. Since you are creating so many entities, the program will lag and eventually crash like GfK said. |

| sorry for the rude comment Blitz Monkey, it's just that no one seems to be helping me out with my question What? I've told you what's wrong with it!If this is your attitude when people try to help you, then I'll let you figure it out for yourself in future. ....Rez? I imagine so - his surname is Suarez. You can change your name but you're stuck with your personality. |

| will you just be quiet about my last name. It's spanish for god's sake. Now about the comment that I wrote to blitz monkey, I apologized, didn't I? Why would you people judge my personality by a comment that I wrote and the last 3 letters of my last name. Yes, i'm sorry and i'm not a bad person. I knew what the problem was with my code, and I should of said that I knew what the problem was. I know my mistake, so how about we forget about my rude comment and get back on the topic please? P.S Sorry about using the include code so much, t's just easier for me to use, that's all :) |
