Class KX_VertexProxy -- Blender Game Engine 2.49b



 
 







setNormal

setNormal(nor)

sets the normal vector of the vertex.   

nor:
Type: List [ nx, ny, nz]

nx = cosine of the normal to the world x-axis
Type:  float
ny = cosine of the normal to the world y-axis
Type:  float
nz = cosine of the normal to the world z-axis
Type:  float

Sample Code


# get controller
controller = GameLogic.getCurrentController()

# get object the controller is attached to
obj = controller.owner

# get the 1st mesh
mesh = obj.meshes[0]

# get the first vertex of the first material
vert  = mesh.getVertex( 0, 0)

# set the vertex normal vector
vert.setNormal([0.0, 0.0, -1.0])

 
Game developers can use the game engine to create casual video games, first and third person shooters, role playing games, racing simulations and more. The game engine can be used to make both 2D games and 3D games.  Beginning game developers will only need basic knowledge of game design and programming to create rich and complex game models with photo realistic textures to add detail to the graphics of the video game.  Today's games need more than good looking low polygon game models.  Use normal maps and photo realistic textures to create high quality game models.
