flat planes : generate in rows and column

(1/2) > >>

BOB_I_Ts:
Hello Anim8ors been long while since i have been involved with code or 3d modeling ,*shakes fist at MMO's for making me forget every thing

any way i thought i try refresh my mind on a8s
i want to create a simple flat plane with division attributes

just example of 3 x 3 grid and vertice # order
current script which attempted to do above failed in console


--- Code: ---#plugin("object", "mesh", "gridtest");
#parameter("x division", int, 3, 1, 10);
#parameter("z division", int, 3, 1, 10);
#parameter("X scale", float, 40, 2, 1000.0,scale,scale_x);
#parameter("z scale", float, 40, 2, 1000.0,scale,scale_z);
#return($grid);
#button(24, 24, 2, 0x0000000000, 0x0000000000, 0x0000000000, 0x0000000000,

0x0000000000,
0x0000000000);

shape $grid;
float $xs,$zs,$stepx,$stepz; 
int $xd,$zd,$index[201],$i,$j,$k,$l;
point3 $p;

$xd = parameter("x division");
$zd = parameter("z division");
$xs = parameter("X scale");
$zs = parameter("z scale");

$stepx = $xs/$xd;
$stepz = $zs/$zd;
$l = 1;

$grid.Open();

$index[$k] = $grid.AddPoint($p);

for $i = 1 to ($xd + 1) do {

$index[$k] = $grid.AddPoint($p);

for $j = 1 to $zd do {
$p.z = $p.z + $stepz;
$index[$k] = $grid.AddPoint($p);
$i = 1;


}

$p.x = $l * $stepx;
$l = + 1;
$p.z = 0;
}


/* temp code faces should fill first cell */
$grid.OpenFace(0, 4);
$grid.VertexN($index[0]);
$grid.VertexN($index[1]);
$grid.VertexN($index[5]);
$grid.VertexN($index[4]);
$grid.CloseFace();
$grid.Close();
--- End code ---
edit : fixed typos in code

How would we go about fixing this code !?.

BOB_I_Ts:
obvious i was thinking of the sequence in reverse

--- End code ---

my next problem solving the mystery of the normals
seems that the faces break on the last row hmmm.....

headwax:
hmm sorry, can't help

just wanted to say it's good to see a legend returning ;)

BOB_I_Ts:
wow never be refereed as a legend thank you for the complement headwax your awesome

current code change in face generation code is as follows

--- Code: ---/* temp code faces should fill first cell */

int $face,$cut,$total;

$cut =  1;
$face = 1;
$total = $xd * $zd ;

if ($face < ($total + 1) ) {
for $face = 1 to ($total + 1) do {
$grid.OpenFace(0,0);
if ($face == (($cut * $xd) + $cut)) {
$cut = $cut + 1;
} else {
$grid.VertexN($face);
$grid.VertexN($face + 1);
$grid.VertexN($xd + ($face + 2));
$grid.VertexN($xd + ($face + 1));
$grid.CloseFace();
$face = $face + 1;
}

}
}
$grid.Close();
--- End code ---

Issue is even though if cut command removes the diagonal lines the face cells don't equal the total ! im missing something yet again meh

hihosilver:
Well if it helps I believe the same.  Too bad I can't help you with coding either ;)
Good to see you back mate!
