shapes and lines
 

there should be more shapes than just rectangles. There should be things like triangles, and circles would be even better. there should also be polygons with up to 16 sides. This would add a lot to the game, but in effect make the scripting a little more complex.

As for lines, you should be able to draw lines and other things, without having to use gfx. simple shapes and objects would be a great feature as well!

Or not. Id have a few uses for them, i dont know about everyone else.

that would be nice, but it would not get a lot of usage and would just be a waste for stefan. but should be added to the list all the same.

You silly kid.


I would LOVE drawline(x,y,x,y) soooo much.

prabably something like

showimg2 type,width,x,y,x,y;

and it would be for lines and circles =/

Or maybe you could implement line drawing with Showimg, as I suggested a while ago.

showimg [index],#[startx]#[starty],#[endx]#[endy];

So, for example:

showimg 1,#10#10,#20#20;

That would draw a line from (10,10) to (20,20)

it would be better as a special command

like

drawshape type,index,x1,y1,x2,y2;

and use changeimgcolors and shitz for other things

I don't care how as long as we can do it ;)

Pfft, silly kids. heheh

Actually drawing shapes would definitely be better as a showimg function. You would need all the support the images have. like zoom effects. colors. index's of course. It simply must be done if we are to make starfox!. *yes it could be done! *

*bump*
come on I want this.

why do you need to draw shapes?

when you can just make an image?
too lazy to open up paint or other image program.

and graal tiles etc werent meant to use more or less than 4 sided polygons.

deal with it

Do you know how many images it takes to draw a straight line between 2 points? A lot unless you want to have a dotted line instead of a straight one.


Darn you. It eats up system resources like crazy. If we could do it with one straight line function it would immensly improve system performance in 3d polygon graal based games.

And anything else that requires many straight lines that are not up and down and left and right.

*bump*

Come on Stefan code us a showline index,x,y,x2,y2;

Im all for this idea!! itd definately be useful to me and my server!
