Static Shape Questions [Solved]

[jes00]

1. Is there some colorShiftColor for static shapes? If so how do I use it?
2. How would I make a function that grows a static shape from %obj.minScale to %obj.maxScale over time?

Just like you'd color players.
object.setNodeColor( node, color );

2. How would I make a function that grows a static shape from %obj.minScale to %obj.maxScale over time?

Combine schedules and object.setScale( value );

Cool. How do I figure out the nodes? Are they the object names in the module?

But how do I calculate the value?

Nodes are defined in the model. I think the node names are stored as plain text somewhere near the end of the DTS file. Also, if you need to color everything, just use ALL as the node.

But how do I calculate the value?

I'm not here to help you with basic math.

But how do I calculate the value?

function staticShape::grow(%this)
{
    %this.setScale(vectorAdd(%this.getScale(),"0.1 0.1 0.1"));
    %this.growSchedule = %this.schedule(100, grow);
}

[Treynolds416]

function staticShape::grow(%this)
{
    %this.setScale(vectorAdd(%this.getScale(),"0.1 0.1 0.1"));
    %this.growSchedule = %this.schedule(100, grow);
}

Alternatively, for exponential growth, use vectorScale(%this.getScale(),"1.1")
I have a feeling you're doing a crops thing though, so the first one is better for you anyway

Thanks guys.
