Hi, I was look around and could not find a solution for this. What I need is a window element with a 3d object moving on the inside, how can I do this?

here's a graphic representation of what I want


this is the window element I'm using, the problem is that inside I don't want a panel instead I want to use a 3d object

PANEL* frame_pan =
{
bmap = frame_png;
layer = 20;
flags = OVERLAY | SHOW ;
window (40, 10, 178, 160, map_3d, 0, test);

}

I hope there is a way to do this =/ I can't see the solution but maybe you can, thanks for reading.

If you have a look at the shadertest code found in your GameStudio projects folder there maybe a tidbit in there that may help you.

I'm not sure what to look there, sorry if I'm kind of annoying bur I still don't know what to do, here's more graphic representations of what I want if there's still some doubts, anyway thanks for helping me.

This is how I want it to be



and this is the actual program


the red lines represent the invisible parts made by the window(not sure if I should call this a window)



Again thanks.

is this a world model or view model?

I think it's a view model, everything is in 2D, there is not any loaded level the definition is this one


ENTITY* map_3d =
{
type = "map.mdl";
layer = 20;
flags2 = TRANSLUCENT | SHOW ;
y = 0;
x = 50;
z = 0;

}

tried setting it's layer below your panels?

setting its layer below the panels layer should work

if, for whatever reason it has to be a world entity, create a new VIEW and place that inside the panels

Maybe you could do something like this:



You could create a panel with the needed resulotion (640x480) and put it on front of the 3d entity

The reason why that doesn't work for me is because the panel elements starts to fade in one by one, here's another image, the reason why I put images is because as the old saying goes: A picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look


Thanks.

You want the 3d object fade in last?

You can still put the layer lower.
