TurnEntity ( global,local ) ? and Invisible Entity ?

[joachim]

Hi all,

 

can you help ???

 

According to the documentation should not

 

TurnEntity( cube, Vec3( 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f ), 0 );

 

rotate the cube arround z in global space ?

 

and-

 

Whats the easiest ( cheapest) way to make a cube invisible ( no shadows )

but still receives rays ?

 

 

Thanks,

Joachim

You could try applying the invisible material to it. I think there in an invisible.mat file in one of the LE directories that you can look at. That might work.

Thanks Rick, I will try.

On any of the entity commands, when the global parameter is set to 1 then the action will be applied to global space. Local = 0. This only comes into effect if the entity has a parent. If no parent, then this parameter has no effect as it will act in global space no matter what.

Thanks macklebee,

 

if I understand right,

 

TurnEntity( cube, Vec3( 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f ) )

 

rotates the cube arround its "own origin", doesnt this mean local ?

 

and if it would rotate arround the "world origin" this would be global ?
