Hi there...

Is there a kind soul out there who can kindly and calmly explain to me how =
to make a bump panel work together with a corona?

Situation:

I want to make a bump-panel containing the code to make a corona on the obj=
ect name 'a'. Object 'a' is situated a couple of meters away from my bump-p=
anel. When I bump into the panel, I want the object to appear with a corona.

Here is the code for object 'a':

create name a, visible off, color black

So far, so good.. The object now has the name I wanted it to have, 'a', I c=
ant see it, and it is colored black (when it appears)

OK so here is the code for the bump-panel:

create visible off solid off ; create corona c_sun size=3D100, light brigh=
tness=3D100 color=3Dred fx=3Dblink,time=3D1, solid off, visible off, name=
=3Da

With this code, I dont see a corona :-((

This is just one instance of several tries. I have tried several other comb=
inations but I had no success what so ever...

You advice is greatly appreciated here:-)) Or if someone could direct me to=
a webpage with the prober information. That would be very cool:-))

Thank you very much

tried a few different ways and also see no way to get it going, but would
like to give you a few tips on your codes anyway. You have many extra spaces
which takes time to load and also gets the BI itchy. Most spaces are not
needed. Although your codes do not work, will repeat them in way they should
read if did work LOL

create name a, visible off, color black
should read
create name a,visible no,color b

create visible off solid off ; create corona c_sun size=100, light
brightness=100 color=red fx=blink,time=1, solid off, visible off, name=a
should read
create visible no,solid no;(create - never repeated) bump visible a
yes,corona c_sun size=100, light brightness=100 color=red fx=blink
time=1,solid no,visible no, name=a

the ; is used to separate the creates and the others, never used twice.
Extra spaces annoy the BI and are not needed. create color b works in most
worlds and saves extra letters for black. The spaces are not necessary after
the commas.

Sorry cannot help with other, maybe cannot be done LOL but hope this at
least helps you out

name=a and the time=1 can not be seperated by itself with a comma

for light, the code for that part of the bumppanel should be:

light brightness=100 color=red fx=blink time=1 name=a (you see the time
and the name goes inside the light command)

and for the corona that part should be:

create corona c_sun size=100 name=a

so basicly all i did was move the name=a to inside the light and the
corona command, and moved the time=1 inside the light command

the final code for the bump panel is

create visible no,solid no; bump corona c_sun size=100 name=a, light
brightness=100 color=red fx=blink time=1 name=a,solid a no, visible a no

(you can remove the spaces after the , and ; only and it would not make
a diffrent, but will take up less cell dada i think)
