HiIm working on a hospital scenery and have made a ground polygon in FSDSV2 and from there made a .api, i want it to be able to see the shadow of the aircraft on the polygon. I was wondering if anybody can help me use the scasm command Layercall(I have no idea about manual editing the code)Here is the code:-------------------------;VODDATA Latitude Longitude Range Scale Rotation Not_used Not_used Not_used Not_used Visibility Altitude Scenery_complexity(0-5) Not_used Not_used;MACRODESC FSDS object 37x37 using scale 1.000000;Generated with FS Design Studio version 2;Copyright 2002; %1 = Latitude; %2 = Longitude; %3 = Range; %4 = Scale; %5 = Rotation; %6 = Not used; %7 = Not used; %8 = Not used; %9 = Not used; %10 = Visibility range; %11 = Altitude; %12 = Scenery complexitymif( 0 ); displays airport symbolArea( 5 %1 %2 1 )RotatedCall( :symbol 0 0 %5 )Jump( :endsymbl ):symbolRefPoint( 7 : 1 %1 %2 )Points( 1-18 0 -18-18 0 1818 0 1818 0 -180 0 0 )Poly( a 1 5 2 )Poly( a 2 5 3 )Poly( a 3 5 4 )Poly( a 4 5 1 )Return:endsymblEndAmifendSet( BUF 1024 )Set( areamx 1024 )Set( LINBUF 2048 )Area( 5 %1 %2 %3 )IfVarRange( :ExitComplex 0346 %12 5 )Jump( :ComplexOK ):ExitComplexJump32( :Exit ):ComplexOKPerspectiveCall( :PCall )ShadowCall( :PC02 )Jump32( :Exit ):PCallPerspective:PC02mif( %11 )RefPoint( 2 :Skip %4 %1 %2 E= %11 v1= %10 V2= 37 )melseRefPoint( 7 :Skip %4 %1 %2 v1= %10 v2= 37 )mifendJump( :Continue ):SkipReturn:ContinueRotatedCall( :B 0 0 %5 )Return:BBGLVersion( 0800 )TextureList( 0 6 FF 255 255 255 0 20.000000 "Bakke.bmp" )MaterialList( 0 0.752941 0.752941 0.752941 1.000000 0.250980 0.250980 0.250980 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 )VertexList( 0 -22.300869 0.000000 -5.073490 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.191406 0.103516 -6.187185 0.000000 -21.187181 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.802734 0.103516 15.000000 0.000000 -0.000001 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.802734 0.900391 -1.113687 0.000000 16.113697 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.191406 0.900391 ); Draw Main ModelCall32( :_tmp_0_Polygon_0 )EndVersionReturn; Part: Polygon:_tmp_0_Polygon_0Transform_Mat( 4.375000 0.000000 -25.549999 0.707107 0.000000 0.707107 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 -0.707107 0.000000 0.707107 )ZBias( 1 )SetMaterial( 0 0 )DrawTriList( 0 0 1 2 0 2 3 )ZBias( 0 )TransformEndReturn:ExitEndA---------------------------Thanks,Tor Inge
