When I use the make object triangle command and texture the resulting triangle, the texture looks freaked up because the triangle has 3 sides and the texture has 4 sides, thus making it look as if 2 corners of the texture are squeezed into 1 side of the triangle. Is there a way to fix this, using memblocks, or is there a command I don't know about or anything?

I think you should model a triangle and texture it in a 3d modeling program. Then you can load it in DB. But i think thats not what yer lookin for...

no theres no command (i think)
what you have to do is make a 'skin' as opposed to a texture
where you allow for over laps ect in the texture
so for your case make the texture in a triangle shape so it ends up how u would want it to look then stretch the top out so it ends up square and when u texture ur triangle it will do as u said and push the top together making it go back to the triangle texture u had to start with (p.s. i dont know how u would stretch the top like that maybe in paint shop or another higher market program)

You could always make a simple triangle in a 3D modeling program, and texture it, then load it in, and it will retain perfect texturing.
