Selection and DisplayLists

system · April 21, 2001, 2:03am

When you use selection mode to work out which primative is under your cursor can you use Displaylists?
e.g.

glLoadName(i);

glCallList(Square);

Do you not load the name in the creation of the display list?

No because I use the displaylist to make multiple objects each of wich needs it own name. So I load a name and then call the displaylist. Will this?

Thanks for you reply .

Well my Selection codes not working and I don’t know whats wrong so I was checking out ever possiblity. I have NEVER seen any selection tuts that use Display Lists so wondered if that was the problem. Are you certain you can use display lists in select mode?
