Hello,
I'm trying to load the .x file i've attached to this post, which i made in 3d canvas pro. when i load it in my game for some reason its invisible and the game quits prematurely soon after the loading function. to make sure that the model does load properly i typed in some barebones loading code:
load object "c:...2ofClubs.X", 1
set object 1, 1, 0, 0
make camera 1
position camera 1, 0, 1, -2
point camera 1, 0,0,0
while escapekey() <> 1
angle = wrapvalue(angle) + 1
rotate object 1, 0, angle, 0
endwhile
and the model loaded perfectly in that code. here's my game code:
`create data type for array
type CardInfo
Color as integer
Value$ as string
AlreadyMatched as boolean
FaceDown as boolean
FaceUp as boolean
Suit as integer
CardXPos as integer
CardYPos as integer
endtype

NOTE: in the StartGame() function the "make object box..." line and the 4 "if value =..." lines underneath it are commented out because the boxes were just placeholders for the models, so i commented out those lines now that im trying to load the models in and use them.
also to note: my 2ofClubs.X model that im using for the card in this game, is made of 2 plains with a texture on their visible side, put very closely back to back. I'm a rookie modeler, and i needed my model to have round edges like a playing card(which i achieved thru "set object a, 1,
0, 0" to make rgb(0,0,0) transparent). i tried using a flat box model, but couldn't get the corners to round off. If anyone has any better ideas about how to get a 3d model for a playing card (that will allow me to have a different texture on each side) please tell me lol.
one last problem: as a side note, i notice my card does not rotate on its proper y axis when i used the barebones code above. after i made the model i moved it to 0,0,0 position in 3d canvas pro(i had been having major problems trying to fig this out) but it still is rotating slightly off balance, see for urself using the code above. if you know how i can fix this (i have 52 cards to load ;
please help, and thank you
