Scene.voxels.coordinates not updating?

Codea Craft
1

Whenever I try to write:

scene.voxels.coordinates = insert position here

It never updates to that position for some reason. I’ll post the code from my project if necessary, but any help at all is greatly appreciated! :slight_smile:

scene.voxels.coordinates isn’t a position for individual voxels, but the center position of where all the voxels will be drawn. Think of the center of a circle with the voxels being drawn around that point. Voxels can’t be negative so they only get drawn in the upper left quadrant of a circle.

@dave1707 - hmmmm, I don’t follow that unless you set the scene.voxels.coordinates to the bottom right corner of the screen. That sounds more like a camera focal point.

@Bri_G Try running the below code uncommenting one of the lines each time. You’ll see the voxels being drawn from the coordinates position.

viewer.mode=FULLSCREEN

function setup()
    assert(OrbitViewer, "Please include Cameras as a dependency")
    
    scene = craft.scene()
    v=scene.camera:add(OrbitViewer, vec3(80,80,0), 500, 0, 2000)
    v.rx,v.ry=40,0
    
    scene.voxels.blocks:addAssetPack("Blocks")
    water = scene.voxels.blocks:new("Water")
    water.setTexture(ALL, "Blocks:Water")
    
    scene.voxels:resize(vec3(15,1,15))
 
    scene.voxels.coordinates = vec3(0,0,0) 
    --scene.voxels.coordinates = vec3(200,0,0) 
    --scene.voxels.coordinates = vec3(0,0,200) 
    --scene.voxels.coordinates = vec3(200,0,200) 
    
    for x=1,200 do
        for z=1,200 do
            scene.voxels:fill("Water")
            scene.voxels:block(x,0,z)
        end
    end
end

function draw()
    update(DeltaTime)
    scene:draw()
end

function update(dt)
    scene:update(dt)
end
