    Resolved [RESOLVED] Drawing a Line using Direct3D

    I am using Direct3D Graphics for a 2D shooter game i am making. And i need to be able to draw lines. But since Direct3D can't draw a line from 1 vertex to another, i don't know how to draw one. It has to be atleast 3 vertices to be drawn.
    So i tried drawing a very small triangle looking like a line, but when the second vertex was above the other 2 vertices, the line became invisible.

    So does anyone know how to draw a simple line with Direct3D? Thank you.
    I think I am, therefore, I am. I think.

    Re: Drawing a Line using Direct3D

    Two triangles make a rectangle, which could be used as a line.
    Software I use and highly recommend: Opera, Miranda IM, Peerblock, Winamp, Unlocker Assistant, JoyToKey, Virtual CloneDrive, Secunia PSI, ExplorerXP, GOM Player, Real Alternative, Quicktime Alternative,Sumatra PDF, and non-freeware: Photoshop and VB6().
    My codebank: AllRGB, Rounded Rectangle(math), Binary Server, Buddy Paint, LoadPictureGDI+, System GUID/Volume Serial, HexToAsc, List all processes and their paths, quasiString matching
    Strings(search, extraction, retrieval etc): Retrieve BBCode Link from HTML, RemoveBetween ()'s, strFindBetween(str1,str2), Insert text in HTML, HTML - GetSpanByID
    The most underused feature of VB Forums: http://www.vbforums.com/search.php
