Editing Sphere

The sphere is a [[BZW]] Object that defines a sphere in the game arena.

==Code==

This is a reference of all the options available in a sphere object with parameters.

Valid properties for a [[sphere]] are

;name: defines the name of the sphere, it is not required, and often unused
;divisions: defines the number of subdivisions (pieces) of the sphere
;flatshading: enables flat shading, smooth shading is the default
;hemisphere: only draw the top half of the sphere
;position: defines the center point of the sphere
;size: defines the size of the sphere
;radius: sets all size values to the same value
;rotation: defines rotation for the sphere
;shift: shifts the sphere (repeatable)
;scale: scales the sphere (repeatable)
;shear: shears the sphere (repeatable)
;spin: spins the sphere around vector n (repeatable)
;phydrv: attaches a physics driver to the sphere
;smoothbounce: makes ricochets use normals
;matref: defines a material for the sphere to use

==Appearance==
By default, the sphere is a perfect sphere, with a red brick texture around the outside. You can, however, make the sphere elongated on one side (just don't use the radius option).

==History==
The sphere object has been supported since [[BZFlag 2.0.0]]. In previous versions of BZFlag, this object will not work.

==Editor Support==
Editors that support the sphere object include [[Blender]] using the [[BZWTools]], [[Wings3D]], and [[pyBZEdit]]. [[BZEdit]], [[BZFed]], and [[IBZEdit]] do NOT support the sphere.
