hi@all (especially simonh :) ), i have a problem loading an animated mesh into minib3d. when i want to change its entityorder, nothing happens.. and also, if the animmesh is too close to the camera, the complete child that is too close is being hidden automatically, i have no chance to fix this by camerarange. my gfx card is an ati x1600pro, so i don't think this is caused by hardware. thanks for help, oware ps: if i do not load the mesh via "loadAnimMesh" but via "LoadMesh", EntityOrder works! and sry for mistakes in this text i am from germany :D

Your second problem may be fixed by using the MeshCullRadius command. (or it may not!).

now i solved the problem. i have a mesh that has children who have children etc... entityorder sets the order only for the mesh that is given as a parameter, not it's children... would be great if simonh could fix this, i've written a simple recursive ordering now and it works :) for those who had the same problem -> Function AnimatedEntityOrder(mesh:TEntity,order:int) For Local c:Int = 1 To CountChildren(mesh) Local child:TEntity = mesh.GetChild(c) Self.OrderChilds(child,order) child.EntityOrder(order) Next End Function
