Meshpyr
From BZFlagWiki
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 untextured meshpyr will look like a normal pyramid. It is always square based, with triangular sides.
Editor Support
The meshpyr object is supported by some, but not all, known editors.
