Hey sAMurai, how do I edit the PIO code

[Mat Caird]

Hi

A couple of days ago you answered my post about the miserable performance of VW snaps and hybrid objects.

You suggested modifying the PIO code from Rect() to Poly().

Can you tell me two things pls;

1> where do I find the source for simple door 2?

2> can I edit it with notepad?

Thanks

You have to find the plug-in first (assuming NNA hasn't locked it). Select 'Create Plug-in' under the 'Organize' menu. Scroll down until you find the name of the PIO (simple door whatever, in this case).

Click on 'Scripts...'

Where there is a Rect (x1,y1,x2,y2); statement (x1 etc. are some numbers), take note of the numbers. You'll have to replace the rect( ) parameters with an expanded list in this format:

Poly (x1, y1, x2, y1, x2, y2, x1, y2, x1, y1);

Make sure that you have all five pairs values.

I just tried it with my homemade door, and it works as I hoped it would. You end up with 2 lines instead of 1, though.

Thanks for the reply - AWESOME!

Year the buggers at NNA have locked 'em... It's probably not a bad idea to build my own doors and windows at some stage anyway...

Um, not so awesome if it doesn't help, though, right?

If you need some VectorScript samples, Vector Depot has stuff, and I have a few well-commented PIO's.

Just in case anyone missed it, Vector Depot is atwww.vectordepot.com.

There is a VectorScript section at the forum there, it can become a great place to share code and comments.
