outerRadius:
The radius of the outside of the corkscrew.
This parameter is ignored if shingles
are being generated.
innerRadius:
The radius of the inside of the corkscrew.
When shingles are being generated, this defines
the radius of the shingles structure. This parameter is ignored
when a cap is being generated.
altitude:
The amount of height you gain going along a quarter of the
corkscrew, following either the inner or outer circumference.
For smoothest results this should be a multiple of slices .
If tiles are being generated, you may want to try negative values
here in order to come up with the correct tile orientation.
lip:
The difference in height between the outer circumference and the
inner circumference, taken at the top surface of the corkscrew,
not the bottom. If shingles are being generated, this
parameter only affects the overall position (translation) of
the shingles. This parameter is ignored when a cap is
being generated.
slices:
The number of slices that the outer and inner circumferences
are chopped into. The total number of brushes generated is
2 * slices . If shingles are being generated then the
total number of brushes is half that. A cap contains contains
one brush more than shingles do.
outerThickness:
The thickness, measured vertically, of the corkscrew at the outer
circumference. This parameter is ignored if shingles or tiles
are being generated.
innerThickness:
The thickness, measured vertically, of the corkscrew at the inner
circumference. When shingles are generated this defines the
"height" of the shingles. This parameter is ignored
when a cap is being generated, and also when tiles are being
generated.
adjustForOverlappingCylinderCuts:
If aligning [either the outer or inner circumference of]
this corkscrew with a cylinder generated with Cylinder Generator
and the adjustForOverlappingCylinderCuts flag is set for
that cylinder, use the flag here as well so that the two would
align perfectly. Also applies
on Pipe Generator and adjustForOverlappingPipeCuts .
offsetAngle:
The angle, in degrees, by which to rotate the corkscrew
counter-clockwise. This only applies if normal brushes
or tiles are being generated, not shingles or cap.
generate normal brushes
Generates ordinary brushes. You may consider generating
shingles for the inner wall of the corkscrew to prevent
"bouncing" if the player is going to be flung around the
inner wall. Also you may want to experiment with tiles and/or
an outer cap.
generate cylinder shingles
Can be applied to the inside of a corkscrew. These are
one-directional when going around. Use this with the
default corkscrew orientation (not rotated).
generate ramp shingles, top shingle square
Can be applied to the inside of a corkscrew. Use this when
the corkscrew is rotated 90 degrees along the X or Y axis,
becoming more like a ramp. The shingle at the top of the ramp
is square to prevent lemmings when falling on that shingle.
generate ramp shingles, top shingle triangular
Can be applied to the inside of a corkscrew. Use this when
the corkscrew is rotated 90 degrees along the X or Y axis,
becoming more like a ramp. The shingle at the top of the ramp
is triangular in cross section, making the shingles suitable
for the last quarter of a vertical loop.
generate tiles
Can be applied to the top surface of a corkscrew.
This is especially useful when the corkscrew is flipped upright
and used as the wall of a loop. For normal use (when going
around the corkscrew horizontally), be aware that
the tiles may have sharp corners pointing upwards, which causes
lemmings when falling on them.
generate tiles, reverse direction
Exactly like above, except that the direction of the tiles is
flipped.
generate outer cap
Can be applied to the outside of a corkscrew.
This is especially useful when the corkscrew is flipped upright
to form a loop, and when players will be falling onto the top
of that loop. The cap prevents lemmings.
