heyas; traveller once upon a time put out a download that turns the magnet zone sphere into a dual sphere with cross hair kinda deal, you know? anyway, i haven't found it amongst my archives, if you have this, can you let me know and we can arrange for you to send it to me? or else do you guys know where i can currently download it? i tried over at morph world, but didnt see it. i'd bug trav, but i'm always bugging the poor guy. figured i'd bug everybody first, then go to him. :)

Whats the deal with that? (whats it do different) I love playing with the magnets!!

The difference is that I replaced the Ball prop object file with a modified version that adds cross hairs to the appearence of the magnet zone. That helps you see where the exact center of your magnet is pointed at. Also there is a second sphere added in the middle to show you where the magnet is going to have the greatest effect. I also replaced the ball prop primitive so that you can still use that as normal. It works because all magnets (and waves) call the ball object file in the Geometries/Props folder. -Trav

heyas; trav, you rule!!! thanks, man! lynn, you NEED this thing! you know how the mag zone is like a big circle? well, this makes the big empty circle look like a cross hair with inner and outer circle. then you can see exactly where the center of the mag zone is, and the area of most effect. the plain old sphere circle just shows you the outside of the zone. it's so handy! i hadn't realized how much i depended on the new target zone until i went back to the plain empty circle zone. ::shudder:: :) thanks, trav!

LOL, no problem! Thats why I made it in the first place, I was getting sick of guessing where the mag zone actually was :) Frustration is the mother of my Invention ;) -Trav

Yes, it's very useful - I'd downloaded it ages ago and I've just been strating with magnets (I'm SLOW, OK? hmm, can't type either) and the target makes it really easy to see what you are doing - thanks Trav.

TRAV!!! You have just made my life soooo much easier! Thank you s

Trav's the man!! thank you again for everything 8 ) heh heh. I even tried my hand at making a morph... it's not as good as yours.. but it's a start 8 )
