Started in 3D finally, after doing research on it for a while, and I didnt find any help on the following topics that I need help with, so Im bringing them to the community.
My current 3D work in Game Maker that Im using to test with: Game Maker 7 file (http://one.fsphost.com/edg3/3D.gmk)
2D overlays:
- Do I have to leave 3D mode to draw one, then open it again?
- Can I do normal 2D control for it, or do I need to work with the "z"-axis aswell?
Textures and lighting:
- I have two different coloured textures, but they both show as black, is there a special way to get a texture's index other than "background_get_texture()"?
("draw_set_color(c_white);" is needed to drawn so textures will be visible)
- When using lighting, it doesnt seem to make a difference, is it possibly because of the gray background? if not what could affect it?
Any help would be appreciated.
