a 3rd option is to have a plane primitive in my arsenal of assets,and simply place it on the ends of the inner walls,offset by 0.1 along whatever axis, and again with zero physics.

I can place my objects with visual and total precision so god knows why i did not think of this simple solution before,i keep all the speed that I so so need!

ok,all went to plan, first I created another edit box called ObjrD for setting setobjectdepthreadmode()



then i created a scaled inner wall, then scaled down to 1,1,1, changed objectdepthreadmode from 1 to 2 and placed a box both ends of the scaled block,but both without physics..


As you see job is done,easy solution for me,but thanks for all the help..
though I had better use a plane really not a box as you see it shows up with the lights!!
ps,forgot to unhide the roof after editing,that is why it aint visible in the 2nd shot,I can hide/unhide any object(s)marked as being a roof,made life so much easier editing wise!!

This works via updating a .obj file. I'm sure puzzle dude could whiz through a mesh map and do the same thing in real time.

It woks in two steps;
First you call ScaleInit() which returns a model structure (This loads in the cube.obj file and does a little setup)

Then you call ScaleCube(filename, model, x_scale, y_scale, z_scale)
ScaleCube will create a .obj file named filename (you need to add .obj) scaled by x_scale, y_scale, z_scale. model is the structure returned from ScaleInit()
Note that if you don't use the "raw:" prefix it will place the file in C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Local\AGKApps\your_app\media

It's a bit of a hack and could be a lot more efficient but i figured seeing as it's a map editor you could just copy over the files to your game

Anyway. Hope it works for you

Note the cube in the image has been scaled x=2, y=3, z=4

If you use this algorithm to change the UV's of the cube.obj mesh then i think it will work. (Assuming that the order is the same as the .obj file and it starts from zero)
It MUST be the cube.obj file. It will not work with a standard box shape

Where X=(x_scale - 1), Y=(y_scale - 1) and Z=(z_scale - 1)

U(0) Add X, V(0) Subtract Z
U(1) Add X
V(3) Subtract Z
U(4) Add X
V(6) Subtract Z
U(7) Add X, V(7) Subtract Z
U(8) Add Z, V(8) Subtract Y
U(9) Add Z
V(11) Subtract Y
U(12) Add X, V(12) Subtract Y
U(13) Add X
V(15) Subtract Y
U(16) Add Z, V(16) Subtract Y
U(17) Add Z
V(19) Subtract Y
V(21) Subtract Y
U(22) Add X, V(22) Subtract Y
U(23) Add X


Let me know if it doesn't work and i'll recheck my numbers

it is okay guys,i am pleased with this,now i simply cap the ends with a plane,using it to mask the ugliness:



so the wall i am staring at, the inner one, has been scaled along the x-axis with texture repeat however you do not see the end faces as a plane covers it!
it is a pure cheat i know, but anyhow!! the scaled wall object,has physics and the plane does not

here is a screenshot in the editor to show what i mean
the said plane has been selected,hence it has a black dull texture:

Well done anyway.

With the lights. I don't think there is a limit. But you have to assign your own light ID to the lights commands
Like
Createpointlight(1......
Createointlight(2....
Createpointlight(3......
...
...
...

Etc etc

Others may have an idea if limits

I will code a quick demo to check the lights situation,seperate from the engine.

EDIT
Wont be quick actually,my friggin tablet is dead!!


And after will try blinks stuff,I totally thought it was the model itself and how it is created!!

lights take up allot of resources I found at most ive been able to get to work reliably was four
anymore than that and the frame rate went out the window

well,it was working,then it wasnt,thats about it,pretty sure it works just once!! do you have to delete a file before saving it if it already exists or something like that??

I do that in my save_level() function foe level data also!

hmm..nah cant be it
EDIT
Never mind boys/girls, I will manage with what I have, it looks good enough and i will mask off ends with planes,no biggy
here is my progress and time to move on for the sake of a frigging cube...
