including "flag\\flag.bb" ;HELP!!!
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/including "flag\\flag.bb" ;HELP!!!
| ||
| ok, I'm new to adding programs to each other using the include command. I'm trying to add the flag.bb demo that comes with blitz3d to my project, but when I include it, all I see is the flag... I've gotten rid of the include "start.bb" part of the flag code, and include graphics3d settings... What can I do to add the flag to my project, because all I see when I run my project is the flag... thanks. |

| ..you should extract usable function out of flag sample, and then include it..i guess what you did is just plain including of existing flag sample, and having said that, all rendering and main loop is in there (flag.bb) ? |

| Ok, I just added the main code that created the simple flag into my main program, and now it works... Thanks for your help ALSO, how would I position a custom mesh, here is the code... Const segs=128,width#=4,depth#=.125 mesh=CreateMesh() surf=CreateSurface( mesh ) For k=0 To segs x#=Float(k)*width/segs-width/2 u#=Float(k)/segs AddVertex surf,x,1,0,u,0 AddVertex surf,x,-1,0,u,1 Next For k=0 To segs-1 AddTriangle surf,k*2,k*2+2,k*2+3 AddTriangle surf,k*2,k*2+3,k*2+1 Next b=LoadBrush( "frenchflag.bmp" ) PaintSurface surf,b |

| when you use the include statement it is just like taking the file that you included and pasting it into that one line that says include. if you copy the flag.bb as you have it and paste it instead of typing include you will see the obvious problem. example THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE ;flag.bb draws a flag yay end ;end of flag.bb ;your program include "flag.bb" does whatever end ;end of your program THIS IS WHAT THE COMPILER SEES ;your program draws a flag yay end THE PROGRAM IS ENDED BEFORE IT GETS TO YOUR PROGRAM THUS DOING NOTHING BUT DRAWING THE FLAG does whatever end ;end of your program Get it? [edit] oops we posted at the same time... lol |

| AH, perfect sense, THANKS :> |

| to answer your other question your custom mesh is called mesh so simply use positionentity mesh,x#,y#,z# |
