[edit] Code
Sphere Appearance
The code to place a sphere in your map is as follows:
sphere name example_sphere divisions 4 flatshading position 0 0 10 size 10 10 10 radius 10 rotation 0 shift 0 0 0 scale 0 0 0 shear 0 0 0 spin angle nx ny nz phydrv example_phydrv smoothbounce matref example_material end |
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 |
| 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 |
[edit] 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).
[edit] History
The sphere object has been supported since BZFlag 2.0.0. In previous versions of BZFlag, this object will not work.
[edit] Editor Support
Editors that support the sphere object include Blender using the BZWTools, Wings3D using the BZW Exporter for Wings3D, and pyBZEdit. BZEdit and BZFed do NOT support the sphere.
