Here is some code that I use to handle generic forms of matrix for all sorts of things like water / terrain/ clouds .... etc
This fragment is configured to make an ocean mesh that is 1000000 x 1000000 units in area.
From it, you should be able to correct your understandings of the
dbMakeMatrix()
dbPrepareMatrixTexture()
dbSetMatrixTile()
dbGhostMatrixOn()
functions.
// make the ocean matrix of 16x16 squares
dbMakeMatrix ( 4, 1000000, 1000000, 16, 16 );
// raise each node to its correct height
for (int x = 0; x < 33; x++ )
{
for (int y = 0; y < 33; y++ )
{
dbSetMatrixHeight ( 4, x, y, 0.0);// set to 0 height
}
}
// skin each mesh square
dbPositionMatrix ( 4, -500000, 0, -500000 );
dbLoadImage ( "Terrain\OceanWater.bmp" , 8 );
dbPrepareMatrixTexture ( 4, 8, 1, 1 );
for (int x = 0; x < 16; x++ )
{
for (int y = 0; y < 16; y++ )
{
dbSetMatrixTile ( 4, x, y, 1 );
}
}
dbGhostMatrixOn ( 4, 1);
dbUpdateMatrix ( 4 );
If you are still not sure about the problem, then please post again and we will go through each of your steps one instruction at a time, as it can be frustrating when one first starts programing this sort of thing.
