Canardia Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 The only problem is the big size of the compass at big resolutions, but I can't make it smaller because Lua is missing the ScaleMesh() command. EDIT: I found a hack to workaround the bug, so a new version will come soon (0.0.0.3). I had to implement my own EntityParent() command too using the object:Draw() method, since the original EntityParent() kills all transparency features when you parent a transparent mesh in the transparent world with the camera (or with any other model) in the main world. I think the randomly lighter and darker appearing compass needle is caused by a culling bug in the engine (it occurs also without lights), which happens also when the camera is facing west or east with normal meshes. I'll try to make a bug demo for Josh about it.

TylerH Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Wouldn't it be easiest to do it with a 2D image?

Canardia Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 You can't rotate 2D images in Lua (at least not as easily), and they are slower to render also.

TylerH Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 The first part is true, but your second statement is a bit unsubstantiated.
