✨ NAME ✨

build_cylinder(3) — from the Arcan Lua API, bestie — generates a full or half cylinder model. It's giving geometry main character energy, fr. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

vid
build_cylinder( float:radius, float:halfh, uint:steps )
build_cylinder( float:radius, float:halfh, uint:steps, uint:nmaps=1 )
build_cylinder( float:radius, float:halfh, uint:steps, uint:nmaps=1, str:opts="" )

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so this builds a mesh and binds to a new finalised 3d model. Typical use? Debug geometry, skydrawing, and representing panoramic pictures and video sources. Iconic, honestly. 🌈

The mesh range in the y axis will range from -halfh..halfh. That's the y-axis vibe check: -halfh to halfh, no cap. ✨

The optional opts argument specifies additional constraints, for example "caps" for adding endcaps, "half" for generating an open sliced half of a cylinder, or "halfcaps" for generating a closed sliced half of a cylinder. 🎀

💖 arg check, iykyk 💖

  • float:radius — a float, slay.
  • float:halfh — a float; it's the halfh in the y-axis mesh range -halfh..halfh.
  • uint:steps — a uint.
  • uint:nmaps=1 — optional uint, default 1.
  • str:opts="" — optional str, default ""; this is where those extra constraints go: "caps", "half", "halfcaps".
