Hi

I have 2 entities and all I want to do is convert the first entity's world coords into the second entity's local coords.

I can do this using TFormPoint except when I ScaleEntity one of the entities, TFormedX, TFormedY and TFormedZ seem to be affected by the entities scale.

Open in online IDE

	Graphics3D 800,600,32
	SetBuffer BackBuffer()
	
	cam = CreateCamera()
	PositionEntity cam,0,0,-15
	
	light = CreateLight()
	
	ball = CreateSphere()
	PositionEntity ball,5,6,7
	
	cube = CreateCube()	
	;ScaleEntity cube,1,2,3 ;Un-comment this to get strange results!
		
	While Not KeyHit(1)

		TFormPoint EntityX(ball,1),EntityY(ball,1),EntityZ(ball,1),0,cube
	
		RenderWorld

		Text 10,10,TFormedX()		
		Text 10,25,TFormedY()		
		Text 10,40,TFormedZ()		

		Flip

	Wend

	End

I can't believe TFormPoint is supposed to work in this way! Any ideas?

Cheers.
