Hi all,

i have a short question does anyone have a code that makes spheres (or sky spheres) huge? I mean like really huge so you basicly almost never can reach the end. I had once a code like this but i lost it when i reset my computer. thx in advance.

Well, I can think of two solutions for such a thing.

1) scale.x and use the other scale syntax in C (look it up in the manual)
2) Make a script to attach to your sky sphere (if it is a model) that says something like:

Action Sky
{
my.x = player.x;
}

Just two ideas to try out that is.

well first thx for your ideas but unfortunatley im not familiar with c script programming so i dont really know how to program something like this. But in that code that i had you could change the size of the mdl sphere by just changeing some numbers. Maybe you know how to program this. But thx again ill keep working on it.

Using either a function or action do something like this:

Action/Function Sky()
{
wait(1);
my.scale_x = 10;
my.scale_y = 10;
my.scale_z = 10;
}

and this will change the size of the sphere? and should i attach this to my sphere?

You can also scale models in WED. Select them and right click will open context menue. Go to Object properties >> position. Here you can scale.

Hmmm, I am using the following code to make my sphere model "space globe" appear to be infinite space for my space shooter. It aint elegant, it doesn't resize anything, seems to work. I attach the action to the sky_sphere, which is basically a sphere with the normals flipped internally, and the skin painted on the inside. Maybe it will help you realize your goals?

Code:

---

action sky_follow_player // The sky sphere moves around the player at center.  
{
	my.bright = on;				// Bright!
	my.metal = on;				// Shiny!
	while (player == null) {wait (1);} 	// Wait for a player!
	while (1) 				// Do forever
	{
		vec_set (my.pos, player.pos);  	// Use calculate sky position
		wait (1);			// Update every frame
	}
}

Cheers!

Thx alot everybody im gonna try it out tomorrow.
