by Kevin Johnson · in Torque Game Engine · 08/26/2004 (10:22 am) · 6 replies

Can some one point me to a place i can get a little more info on this?
when i do something like:
gClientSceneGraph->getLightManager()->getBestLights( getBoundingBox(),lights, 1)
its realitve to the interiors bounding box
I need a vector relative to the current poly box or face or whatever (via sgActivePolyList) any clues?



thanx

The parameters you pass into it are in world space. getBoundingBox() returns a bounding box for the current object (if you're a SceneObject subclass) in world space.

The lights returned are also expressed in worldspace.

Does that clear things up?

I'm not sure I understand what you want. They're triangles...?
