SetLowLODElement: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:19, 6 December 2011

Available only in MTA SA 1.2 This function assigns a low LOD element to an element. The low LOD element is displayed when its associated element is not fully visible. If a low LOD element is assigned to several elements, it will be displayed when any of these elements are not fully visible.

Syntax

bool setLowLODElement ( element theElement, element lowLODElement )

Required Arguments

theElement: The element whose low LOD version we want to change.
lowLODElement : A low LOD element to display when the first element is not fully visible.

Returns

Returns true if the assignment was successful, false otherwise.

Clientside example

This example shows how to create and link a normal and low LOD object:

    -- Create an normal object
    objNormal = createObject ( 3620, x,y,z,0,0,0 )

    -- Create a low LOD object
    objLowLOD = createObject ( 5154, x,y,z,0,0,0,true )

    -- Set the normal object low LOD version
    setLowLODElement ( objNormal, objLowLOD )

Serverside example

This example shows how to create and link a composite object

    -- Create composite object
    objMainBit = createObject ( 3620, x,y,z )
    objLeftBit = createObject ( 5158, x,y,z )
    objRightBit = createObject ( 5158, x,y,z )
    objDetailBit1 = createObject ( 1337, x,y,z )
    objDetailBit2 = createObject ( 1337, x,y,z )
    objInternalBit = createObject ( 1337, x,y,z )
    attachElements ( objLeftBit, objMainBit, -10, 0, 0 )
    attachElements ( objRightBit, objMainBit, 10, 0, 0 )
    attachElements ( objDetailBit1, objMainBit, 5, 0, 0 )
    attachElements ( objDetailBit2, objLeftBit, 5, 5, 0 )
    attachElements ( objInternalBit, objRightBit, 5, 7, 0 )

    -- Create low LOD object (which represents the whole composite model)
    objlowLOD = createObject ( 5154, x,y,z, 0, 0, 0, true )

    -- Attach low LOD object so it moves with the main model
    attachElements ( objlowLOD, objMainBit, 0, 0, 0 )

    -- Set associations so the low LOD model is displayed when the main parts are not full visible
    setLowLODElement ( objMainBit, objlowLOD )
    setLowLODElement ( objLeftBit, objlowLOD )
    setLowLODElement ( objRightBit, objlowLOD )

    -- Note that the detail and internal parts have not been associated to the low LOD object
