Sphere Command (Wishlist)
Sphere Command // Wishlist
Dec 1, 2002, 11:22pm
I was just thinking the other day that it would be nice that instead of
having to find just the right size sphere, there could be a command that
creates an object-like sphere projection according to a size you give it.
Ex: Create sphere size=5
This would create a sphere that is five clicks in depth width and hight.
Also being able to apply a texture to the sphere, or defining if it is
solid: create sphere size=5 texture=warp solid=on
or in place of texture; color. I just thought this would be useful for
creating a sheild over something, or any other use you can think of. Oh! and
being able to define the opacity of the sphere: create sphere size=5
texture=warp solid=on opacity=("transluscent" or "opaque")

So you want the ability to create objects on the fly? Why not just make the object
with RWX? It's not that much different. That is, if you have access to the OP.

Could be easily added to the dynamic object path script :)

im guessing it would cause quiet abit of lag if you want the size to update
without bouncing, not sure thou.

Something I've been tossing around for a while now might work better for this, possibly... the idea of allowing the Object field in the Object Properties dialog box to hold object names that are not file names. There would have to be some way for AW to know the difference so that it wouldn't try to download such things, but that shouldn't be difficult, since certain characters are not allowed in file names. For example, your sphere might be simply entered into the Object field as <Sphere 5> and be one of several simple geometric objects that could be placed in the same way, each with their own optional parameters. Details not specified in their own parameters such as texture or color could be entered as regular commands in the Action field.
