hey guys

I\'m having some serious trouble getting lights to show up on my textured matrix. I\'m guessing it has something to do with the SET MATRIX NORMAL command, but I really am having trouble understanding it.

This is the code I\'m using to create the matrix.

global g as integer = 10000
make matrix 1, g, g, 40, 40
load image \"image.bmp\", 1000000
prepare matrix texture 1, 1000000, 1, 1
position matrix 1, 0 - (ground/2), 0, 0 - (ground/2)
update matrix 1

Im not sure if there is a way to make lights cause shadows etc on a matrix. Ive never found a way anyway.
One way round is to make a terrain using the advanced terrain commands built in to DBPro that will allow you to make better terrain that has a light command as well. This should solve your lighting problem.
As for lights on matrices...

if you do this command then your matrix will be effected by all lights

I just got the same problem recently with lights and matrices. I found that matrices don't accept light when screendepth is set to 16bits.
