Somebody's done this before I think... Can I please have a code for making a capsule mesh that can be scaled without weird things happening? (ie. Consisting of one single object)

I've only seen this torus function, maybe it's that one you think you saw.

BlitzODE has some samples with Pill shaped objects,
but I haven't taken a look at the code yet. Some
pill objects are in 'ODE_Sample1.bb' if I remember
right...

But those where put together by CreateCylinder() and CreateSphere() i think.

Is a mesh made in a 3d app not an option?


Paolo(Posted 2005) [#6]
Not exactly what you are looking for,
but it could be a good start :)

r# = radius
h# = height of the cylinder part (I think)

Function CreateCapsule(r#,h#)
	ent=CreateCylinder(8)
		ScaleMesh ent,r,h*.5,r
	s=CreateSphere(4):ScaleMesh s,r,r,r:PositionMesh s,0,h*.5,0:AddMesh s,ent:FreeEntity s
	s=CreateSphere(4):ScaleMesh s,r,r,r:PositionMesh s,0,-h*.5,0:AddMesh s,ent:FreeEntity s
	Return ent
End Function

hm...
Lol. I can't believe I didn't think to make something in a 3d app.


Don't mock my bufoonery!
