Meshpyr

A meshpyr is a BZW map object that constructs a specialized Mesh has the geometric apearance of a Pyramid. It was designed to replace the old pyramid with one capable of displaying materials and employing physics drivers.

Code

The code for a meshpyr object is as follows

meshpyr
 position 10 20 30
 rotation 45
 size 1 2 3
 matref myMaterial
 phydrv myPhysics
end

Valid parameters for a meshpyr are

• position; defines the center of the box in X and Y and the bottom of the box in Z.
• rotation; defines a rotation around the Z axis for the box, in degrees.
• size; defines the distance from the center to the side of the box in X and Y, and the total height of the box in Z.
• matref; referance to a predefined material.
• phydrv; referance to a predefined physics driver.

Appearance

An meshpyr with out a material definition will appear the same as a normal pyramid. Geometrically a meshpyr is identical to a normal pyramid.

Editor Support

The meshpyr object is supported by some, but not all, known editors.
