I have a small problem and I need some help. I have a class that holds all the data for each object in my game. The trouble is I need to scale the object as it is placed in a gl list inside the class. Basicly it''s the same object but with different sizes in each object. Can anyone tell me where to put the glScalef when I create the object list or should I use another method? I can''t really use the glScalef outside the class because of the collision detection I''m using (coldet) as I have the collision cage in the object class as well. Thanks for any help.

surly you could just use glScale when rendering, and inversly scale the collision test when doing that? (ie, for a small scale model, increase the size of the test your running)

Problem is it doesn''t work like that. The coldet code is very specific about not using transformations on the cage. I could use glScale during rendering but I''d still need to scale the cage.

But I''ve been talking to one of my collage professors and I may have a solution. If it works I''ll post it here.

Why not scale all your vertices at loading time?

for (i = 0; i < numverts; i++) {
Vertex *= scalefactor;
// And whatever more you need to scale.. (normals, etc.)..
}

Yea, that''s what I was gonna do. And it worked. I feel kinda silly though, I thought it was gonna take a complex math formula to get this done.

Thanks for your help.
