Setting Texture Options

[Julian_Carr]

I have a rectangular extrude within a point PIO that has a class texture applied. I would like to set the mapping to Auto-Align Plane and also Use World Z for Origin. Any clues?

Thanks!

What you are looking for is a combination of two different commands to get Auto-Align Plane and one command for World Z Origin:

 

SetTexMapIntN(<Handle>,<texture part>,0,1,0);		{Sets map type to Plane}
SetTexMapBoolN(<Handle>,<texture part>,0,7,TRUE);	{Sets map to Auto-Align}

SetTexMapBoolN(<handle>,<texture part>,0,6,TRUE);	{Sets map to use World Z Origin}

 

One major thing if using VW2022 or later when using objects with class textures is that you MUST have a texture assigned to the class.  If not, all of the mapping gets set back to default regardless of the script commands.

 

I've attached a little plug-in that I used to learn texturing in VS that might help you out.  For your extrude, you will likely be using texture part 3 for Overall or 4 for Top, 5 for Bottom, or 6 for Sides.

Thanks a lot Jesse. That info got it going properly. I stuck with class textures however, because the PIO has lots of different components with different textures.
