stretchable part

[Anonymous]

Hi! how can I avoid the 2D stretchable part that gets deformed when stretched?
Thanks

IN the GDL editor, in the Script 2D Tab

That would be an example, not the solution to your object. It is the command that your object has been created with. It just says to draw a 2D line from 0x0y to 0x1'y.

Giuseppe,
That LINE2 command that Moonlight has shown you is just an example of a command in GDL scripting.
It will be of no use in your object.

You already have many line commands in your script, which have hard coded X & Y co-ordinates.
The problem with your script is that it has a MUL command that will stretch the lines based on the sizes you use for the length and width (A & B).
Everything after this MUL command will stretch proportionally.

To script this object properly, you would delete the MUL command and all LINE2 commands would refer to the A & B sizes.

For example to make a line that would stretch the length of the 'A' parameter you would use ...

LINE2 0, 0, A, 0

To make it stretch the height of the 'B' parameter ...

LINE2 0, 0, 0, B

To make it stretch both the length (A) and height (B) ....

LINE2 0, 0, A, B


To try and understand this without learning GDL will be rather difficult.
Your best be is to use existing objects that are scripted to be stretchy, or make a new special object for each size variation you need.

Or of course learn GDL, but that is a rather long process.
I've been doing it for 20 years and I am still learning new tricks.

Barry.

Thank you so much, Barry
I really appreciate your suggestion, maybe now it's not a good time to start to learn "GDL", but I would like to learn some simple command.
Thank you again to Moonlight, Ling, and Edel

We have just taught you what you need to start and to solve your problem.

And you should search for "The GDL Cookbook" by David Nicholson-Cole if you want to learn GDL, you can find it free to download.
