Several meshpyr, with the one in the middle having the default texture

A meshpyr is a BZW map object that constructs a specialized mesh that has the geometric appearance of a Pyramid. It replaces the pyramid object as of v2.0.0 and is compatible with materials and physics drivers.

Appearance

An meshpyr without a material definition will use the default material used by a standard pyramid object. Geometrically a meshpyr is identical to a standard pyramid object.

meshpyr
 name example 1
 position 0.0 0.0 0.0
 size 15 15 15 
 rotation 0.0
 matref Mymaterial
 phydrv MyPhydrv
end

Valid parameters for the Meshpyr object are:

Parameter	Description
name	name.
position	position on map.
rotation	rotate on z axis.
size	size amount.
matref	apply a material/texture here.
phydrv	assigns a physics driver.
shootthrough	means players can shoot through the object without the super bullets flag.
drivethrough	lets players drive through it without the oscillation overthruster flag.
ricochet	lets shots bounce off it; shootthrough takes precedence.

Editor Support

The meshpyr object is only fully supported by the BZWTools blender plug-in.
