CreateTube()

Syntax

Result = CreateTube(#Mesh, OuterRadius.f, InnerRadius.f, Height.f [, NbBaseSegments, NbHeightSegments)

Create a new tube mesh.

Parameters

#Mesh	The number to identify the new mesh. #PB_Any can be used to auto-generate this number.
OuterRadius	Outer radius, in world unit, of the tube.
InnerRadius	Inner radius, in world unit, of the tube.
Height	Height, in world unit, of the tube.
NbBaseSegments (optional)	Number of segments used for the base of the tube (default: 16).
NbHeightSegments (optional)	Number of segments used for the height of the tube (default: 1).

Return value

Returns nonzero if the mesh was created successfully and zero if there was an error. If #PB_Any was used as the #Mesh parameter then the new generated number is returned on success.

Example

  InitEngine3D()
  InitSprite()

  OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 640, 480, "Tube example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0), 0, 0, 640, 480, 0, 0, 0)

  ; Light
  CreateLight(#PB_Any, RGB(25, 25, 180), -5, 10, 5, #PB_Light_Point)

  ; Camera
  CreateCamera(0, 0, 0, 100, 100)
  MoveCamera(0, 2, 4, 3, #PB_Absolute | #PB_Local)
  CameraLookAt(0, 0, 0, 0)

  ; Create the tube and attach it to the scene
  CreateTube(0, 0.5, 0.4, 2)
  CreateEntity(0, MeshID(0), #PB_Material_None)

  Repeat
    RenderWorld()
    FlipBuffers()
  Until WaitWindowEvent(1) = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
