You have found another bug :) SpawnModel behave incorrect for Reference, it should guarantee only one instance but now there may be several instances. I will fix this in next version. Workaround: Your MoveEmitter have a zero repeat delay. This makes the spawnmodel execute several times for a single ...

Changes in 1.02 version: - Fixed : "When you add a TextFloatRef after you already have Text the tree view doesn't update until you edit the Text field" - Fixed : "When you change the Model.Scale numbers it changes the lighting. For example if something is scaled down to 0.2 0.2 0.2 th...

Also, I just found the problem with flat shaded spheres. It turns out that for flat shading open gl use just one normal for each triangle . It does not make an average of the three normals. And for the Z-side of the sphere, it picked the same normal for all triangles: the middle "south pole&quo...

Your simulation application looks interesting.
I found the problem thanks to your attachment, and it will be fixed in the next release.

Hi elan, ZGameEditor may become open source later on, but not initially. There will be more documentation. I've just not had enough time yet. ZGE is a very new product you know :wink: Do you think the wiki should be open for public editing? If anyone wants to help with documentation then I would be ...

Thanks for reporting these bugs, I have copied your post into my todo-list and will try to solve the problems in later releases. MeshSphere or a new type of sphere primitive could be generated in spherical coordinates instead of cylindrical coordinates to make the ends less pointed. Yes this would b...

For meshbox and meshsphere you can only have one producer and then a mesh-filter like meshexpression. If you use the meshimplicit producer you can add shapes together with implicitcombine. Or you can "combine" shapes by rendering several shapes in OnRender. This gives the benefit of being ...

Changes: - Fixed: Clicking on the vertical scrollbar in property editor sometimes produces an error message: - Fixed: Property references displayed as "MyModel.Position.2" etc. Reported by nmarshall. - Lock preview now has got a separate icon in the toolbar. Suggested by nmarshall. - New p...

Normally the KeyPress.RepeatDelay takes care of this, but since you have two different KeyPress instances this will not work because the delay is local to the running KeyPress-component. You can of course use left mouse button for one state and right mouse button for the other state :) Otherwise you...

You have found a bug! It is only cosmetic since the program works, but it should be fixed anyway. I've found the problem and changed the code, so the next release will fix this. Nice demo program. You seem to really understand how this works! The only thing I can think of commenting in your program ...

Yes, I'm not that happy with the usability of the lock preview feature.
A separate icon could work, I will try that!

I just answered you post about the hello world - tutorial, and here you are back already with another good idea, thanks

Ah, more good suggestions :) I updated the tutorial and component reference with a bit of information of the coordinate system used for rendering text. The current font-handling is not very good, the text looks unprofessional for various reasons. I am planning to add a feature for importing bitmappe...

Thank you for all this feedback! I really want the tutorials to be easy to understand. When creating the PlayerModel you set CollisionBounds = 0.5 0.5 but there are four fields and you don't explain what each field is. I just added this: "Notice that CollisionBounds have four edit fields, but w...

The new components for reading from a file now have reference documentation:

The FileDemo sample project demonstrates how to read from a file:

Thanks for the tip sajith, I will check it out!
