SetStatic

This command makes an object a static object.

 object.SetStatic() 

Notes

This is an important command for objects that will not move (for example, background objects). By designating an object as a static object, you are saving the computer work because it automatically knows not to check for motion. In this way, you can speed up the execution of your game.

The Optimize command must be used after the SetStatic command in order to for the SetStatic command to take effect.

Sample Code

 oworld = New World(); ocamera = New Camera(oworld); sphere = oworld.CreateSphere(50,50,50,25,25); sphere.SetPosition(0,200,0); mats = New Material(oworld,,RED,"mats"); sphere.SetGouraud(); sphere.ReplaceMaterial(mats); plane = oworld.CreatePlane(600,600); Matplane = New Material(oworld, ,GREEN, "Matplane"); matplane.SetFlat; plane.ReplaceMaterial(matplane); plane.SetAngle(-Pi/2,0,0); plane.SetStatic(); oworld.Optimize(ocamera); ocamera.MoveBack(1200); ocamera.MoveUp(200); sphere.Walk(); sphere.SetShadowMode(Object.SHADOW_MODE_TRUE); sphere.EnableShadow(); //Loop While(TRUE);
