Hi all, I have a question when I put anomaly's ferns on the map they only appear when I get close enough....??? Here is my code: ##ferns
Code: Select all
material
name fern
diffuse 0.1 0.8 0.1 1
alphathresh 0.5
noradar
noshadow
noculling
nosorting
nolighting
addtexture http://images.bzflag.org/msheppard/fern.png
notexalpha
end
define ferns
group quads
scale 2.5 2.5 5
matref fern
end
enddef

The reason is that his ferns use a special technique called LOD, or Level Of Detail, to reduce the number of polygons being displayed, depending on ow far away you are from the object. The last LOD has nothing in it, therefore when you are a certain distance away, they disappear completely.
I would have thought that if you remove this last LOD it should not disappear completely, but you should still get the benefits of the intermediate LODs. Try this:

If you are using dimachine or using a /saveworld bzw... simply delete the sphere and extents from the drawinfo.
Take a look at my Defender game mode concept.

oh yeah thanks optical, it said that the error was on line 13665 and that was the sphere line.

is it possible to set up an object (maybe using LOD) to dissaper visually, not physically, when you get closer?

yes, make the object using an invisible material, then make an identicle drawinfo object with the parts that will (sometimes) be seen. Use an empty lod to make it disappear at the LPP you wish.

I should point out that the drawInfo object (fern) using multiple LODs was created by trepan, not me.
