[Help with prefabs]

It's in Prefabs\Player if you created a project with FPS template.

[Best Way To Make A Cinematic?]

You can use it anywhere, it's just that main.lua is launched when you launch the game. Also, tutorials mention this.

[Best Way To Make A Cinematic?]

It's a lot easier for people like me to be shown what and how to do things than just "here's code go for it"

Like this

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/entity/entitygetgravitymode-r145

It gives you the code says what it dose but doesn't tell you how to use it or where to use it

All examples in API reference are only to demonstrate particular method. Replace your main.lua with it to test.

[Billboards]

It's in the sprite tab right after physics and script.

[Billboards]

I guess you need to use cutout shader.

[Steam Achievements?]

Steamworks API does that.

[Billboards]

It's Sprite and it can be set to billboard mode. It's in Effects list in object creation window.

[Doors ... Amnesia Style]

You just need joint class.

[What is the best way to create streets and highways ?]

You need to create geometry yourself, maybe with curves in Blender if you want curved roads.

[Steamworks::Initialize fails]

Upload your build so I can try if it fails for me.

[How to change the size of the texture resolution ?]

OK, it turned out that there are two problems with this:

 

1. There has to be a model on a scene with a material that uses your target texture otherwise it won't update and only the first frame will be rendered in it.

 

2. If you have only one camera, texture anyway stops updating after resize. You need to have a second camera that renders on screen normally, then it will work.

 

My code:

function Script:Start ()

self.tex = Texture:Create(512,512)

 

self.cam=tolua.cast(self.entity, "Camera")

self.cam:SetRenderTarget(self.tex)

 

self.mat=Material:Create()

self.mat:SetTexture(self.tex)

self.mat:SetShader("Shaders/Model/Diffuse.shader")

self.mdl = Model:Create()

self.mdl:AddSurface()

self.mdl:SetMaterial(self.mat)

 

end

 

function Script:UpdateWorld()

if Window:GetCurrent():KeyHit(Key.A) then

self.tex = Texture:Create(256,256)

self.cam:SetRenderTarget(self.tex)

self.mat:SetTexture(self.tex)

end

end

 

function Script:PostRender()

Context:GetCurrent():DrawImage(self.tex,0,0)

end

 

This is a script on first camera and there is a second camera that renders normally. This way everything works as expected. But if I delete the second camera, target texture stops updating and image on the screen freezes.

 

Any idea what's wrong?

[It does not work SetViewport.]

You can render second camera into texture and draw this texture on the screen.

[How to take a snapshot of an entity]

I think that kind of things shouldn't be rendered at runtime, I imagine a proper way would be to make a script for blender that will run through all your fbx files, render them and save a texture with the same name.

[FBX model problem!]

Apply all modifiers before exporting, try to export through leadwerks exporter and through default fbx exporter, upload blender project here.

[[Lua] Import Script Into Multiple Other Scripts]

It simple, just make this script and import this into main.lua at the very beginning:

spellEffects={}

function spellEffects:CastSpell(something)

.

.

.

end

Then you can call spellEffects:CastSpell() anywhere in your game and you don't need multiple scripts or importing.

[[Lua] Import Script Into Multiple Other Scripts]

Yes, it's not possible that way. I had the same question here: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/10616-importing-one-script-into-two-different-scripts/

Take a look how default AnimationManager script functions. You can do the same thing.

 

Or maybe just use global table with all your effects, this will be simpler actually. And you won't need to import any scripts anywhere.

[Changeable Vegetation Pick Mode]

There is a pick mode option in the material settings.

[Putting a script on my player removes their shadow]

There are animated and not animated versions of diffuse+normal shader, you need one from model/animated folder.

[Modify Bloom]

There are two values at the beginning of the shader, cutoff and overdrive, change them.

[How to generate random x value from a given Seed ?]

math.randomseed(os.time())

[How to generate random x value from a given Seed ?]

I guess you are looking for default Lua math.randomseed() function.

[Blood sprite sheet]

In-engine particles always look ugly, I wanted something prerendered, it's basically the only way.

[Blood sprite sheet]

No, I need an animation.

[Blood sprite sheet]

Can anyone suggest a good software to render blood sprite sheet like in this demo?

 

I have tried in Blender, but it's fluid simulation seems so inconvenient. I guess you can't even make it splash without actually dropping something into the water.
