Editing Pyramid

A Pyramid is a [[BZW]] map structure that defines a polyhedron having a polygonal base and triangular sides with a common vertex in the world.

==Code==
The code for a pyramid object is as follows

 pyramid
  position 10 20 30
  rotation 45
  size 1 2 3
 end

Valid parameters for a pyramid are
*'''position'''; defines the center of the pyramid in X and Y and the bottom of the pyramid in Z.
*'''rotation'''; defines a rotation around the Z axis for the pyramid, in degrees.
*'''size'''; defines the distance from the center to the side of the pyramid in X and Y, and the total height of the pyramid in Z.

Pyramids do not support [[Material]], [[Texture Matrix]], or [[Physics Drivers]]. The [[meshpyr]] object replaces the pyramid object as of [[BZFlag 2.0.0]] and supports these features.

==Appearance==
The pyramid object has a marble blue texture on all sides by default.

==History==
The pyramid is one of the original objects supported by BZFlag and has been a mainstay of maps since the very beginning. Pyramids are heavily used by the software when generating random maps. As of [[BZFlag 2.0.0|v2.0.0]] the [[meshpyr]] object replaced the pyramid to add support for [[Material|Materials]] and [[Physics Drivers]]. The original pyramid definition left unchanged, in order to maintain functional compatibility for older maps.

==Editor Support==
The pyramid object is supported by all known editors.

-Pyramids do not support the use of [[Material]] or [[Physics Drivers]] before [[BZFlag_2.0.9|v2.0.9]] . The [[meshpyr]] object replaces the pyramid object starting from [[BZFlag 2.0.0]] and supports these features. In [[BZFlag_2.0.9|v2.0.9]] the pyramid will be rendered as a [[meshpyr]], if required by one of the properties.

-Pyramids (after [[BZFlag_2.0.9|v2.0.9]]) support the argument "bottom matref <yourmaterialgoeshere>". This command will texture only the bottom of the pyramid with the chosen material.

-The pyramid object has a marble blue texture on all sides by default.  This texture is a darker version of the texture for [[WaterLevel|waterLevel]] objects.
