portals

[koocake]

hi there

I see how to create sectors, and specify the destination sector, but what about the actual destination position? How does the portal know where to position the player in the destination sector?

regards
Kate

ok - ive done this by using SetWarp();

I have another question - what are the

csVector3 *       vertices,
int     num_vertices,

for in the arguments of Engine->CreatePortal()? also how do i get the number of vertices? is this something can get from the mesh?

regards,
Kate

The position will be the same as in the source destination. So if the portal starts at 10,2,3 it will arrive at 10,2,3 unless you have a space warping transform associated with the portal.

The vertices of the portal represent the portal polygon. i.e. the area of the portal.

is there any way i can get the vertex information from the mesh?

What mesh? What do you want to do exactly?
