this most often occurs when there is a matrix and and object

what happens is when i hav my matrix (or another object) and an object at least 1 unit below it, part of the matrix has holes in it and u can see the object below it, it is seen as triangles.

can someone please explain to me why this happens, and if there is a fix for it

give us a few hours to reply , the matrix has holes in it cause thats what it should look like, if its untextured, the matrix is a "wireframe", that can be "bent" and textured. If you dont want to see it, texture the matrix. If thats not what you mean try to explain again...and plz post a code snippet if u can
EDIT: and when u post the code snippet, dont use the attachement source code, its bugged , highlight the code and click on the code button above where u post, just above the smiley faces

hmmm...it must be the object or the texture cause using my own texture and a cube, it works fine, try this:


using ur own textures again, and just try using a cube to see if its the object

hey Gil

i tried it with the cube and with my object

with cube:
i press h and it 'freezes' the mouse on the edge of the screen does not move the camera and afta pressing mouse button and h a couple thousand times it moves to basically a random spot

with my little house:
i press h and an object appears basically where the mouse is on the screen to realtively on the matrix, if i hold it a house appear, let go another house appears

i have dbpro if that makes any difference
other than that i hav no idea, can u tell me what happens to you when you run this

yeh LIT
i hav vs 1.057
why do u ask

i think it might be like a graphics bug between close objects, ill try and edit my object so it is onewhole object, i use gamespace and i glue objects together and then save, so ill go now and try binding them together

edit:
it worked, there roof of my house is now solid and you cannot see the walls, but when i press 'h' the object goes grey. like asif there is no texture, but the texture was automatic for the first.

i solved the problem by just loading the object again, but can someone tell me if i had the object textured would that be the same as loading the object again

i.e.
will 'clone object #,#' take up same amount of memory, or less or more, as 'load object #,#' for a second time
