+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 40

for a=10 to 13
   make object box a,10,30,10
   color object a,rgb(0,0,0)
      next a

position object 10,25,15,75
position object 11,75,15,25
position object 12,25,15,25
position object 13,75,15,75
`controllable object
make object box 1,5,10,3
position object 1,40,5,20

position camera 50,15,-20


backdrop off
clear camera view 0
backdrop off

do
sync
loop

I need the 3d part of the program to clear from the screen. like switching back and forth between 3d and 2d. 3d will not disappear if I use such commands as clear camera view, set backdrop off, cls after doing so or syncing.

thanks for your help

yeeah its a great start to get collision working! what I ask asking for.. was getting rid of the camera view though.

[edit]
sorry to make you possibly seem stupid wmf but I'd removed all unnecessary words to get a straighter message across.

I don't understand. if you don't want "clear camera view 0" then take it out. if you want black background put the following two lines at the beginning of your program.

backdrop on
color backdrop 0

nope.

1. Set up background as black
2. Create/Position Four Boxes to act as pillars. Colour these black.
3. Create a cube to control. this remains white/grey.

\/ this is what I need help on \/

4. Clear the screen to remove all boxes

it may not be needed after all. I can just move the camera forward out of sight.. delete boxes I don't want. This is working towards setting a scene for a game that allows you to walk on top of a textured backdrop (or plain a certain distance from the camera) and shows the player moving behined buildings. SOrry I'm being so awkward.

in 3d you could delete the boxes and recreate them but that can slow down for certain larger problems.

in 3d you could always move the camera away from the scene if required. move camera

position camera or point camera/ turn camera

backdrop on and backrop off will toggle the backdrop

texture backdrop will setup a texture on it

set camera range and fog will also help to cull objects in the distance and have them slowly fade into view as your walking around
but some very older graphics card do weird stuff with fog.

it all boils down to what your game engine is like and behaves to know exactly what you want.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself
