Poly Object to Script

Custom Poly Helper

I have written a script to turn your pyramid into a custom helper(code below). Unless I am missing something it appears that you can only create wireframe helpers! If you run the script below it creates a wireframe helper pyramid. Is there anyway to display a shaded polygon helper?

-------------------------------- start
plugin Helper rt_Helper
name:"rt Helper"
classID:#(0x357d24c1, 0x52e1d978)
category:"Standard"
extends:dummy
(
local meshObj, theMesh

on getDisplayMesh do
(
if meshObj == undefined then
(
meshObj = mesh vertices:#([0,0,51.5526], [-39.0721,-40.7057,0], [39.0721,-40.7057,0], [39.0721,40.7057,0], [-39.0721,40.7057,0], [0,0,0]) faces:#([1,2,3], [1,3,4], [1,4,5], [1,5,2], [2,6,3], [3,6,4], [4,6,5], [5,6,2])

theMesh = copy meshObj.mesh

delete meshObj
)
theMesh
)

tool create
(
on mousePoint click do
(
nodeTM.translation = gridPoint;#stop
)
)
)
