Sorry if this is on the wrong forum list! I want to create a cube with different textures on each face and for each face to be clickable, so that when clicked the user goes off to another file…er a flash or director file outside the blender file.
Is this possible for a newb newbie to do (who has never used the game engine or used python script - but I have just finished my first non-tutorial object…a pencil! )
I’ve looked around the web for beginner game tutorials but they seem alittle non-existent…
Could you try separating the cube into the 6 faces so they are objects in their own right, then its just a matter of setting up the logic bricks. Not sure if after separation you will see gaps between the faces but if so, just extrude each plane inwards a bit.
heh - thanks seventh! With these logic brick thingys - I’ve come across them in other postings but I don’t understand what they are. I had a look through the tutorials on the blender site for beginner intro to games tutes but there aren’t any there - is there an explanation on the blender site (or anywhere) that you know of that I can have a trawl through and work out how to use logic bricks? I’ve found the blender reference guide (http://download.blender.org/documentation/NaN_docs/BlenderGameReference/ketsji.html) which I need to have a look at but I find tutorials more helpful!
I downloaded the manual from my previous link and have been looking through that but can’t see a way to do what I want - and your link suggests the same thing. Very tricky. I’d be interested in exploring this further in this posting if anyone has any ideas. I don’t know anything about python scripting so feel very daunted at finding and inserting a huge chunk of script as someone suggested in your link, Thorgal.
I’ll keep investigating (with my newbie level knowledge!) and see what I find. Thanks for your post!
Lagan build new features that allow us to work whith two screens at the same time. Or maybe your can execute your idea trying to do something like a minimap. Recently Serphlord make a very simple demo whith a minimap, i don’t know where is the link but i can mail the .blend to you (just pm me). Of course, this are solutions to solve the problem inside of Blender, not to have Blender “activating” another aplications. %|
