[Camera script making the camera go down indefinitely.]

I guess you should use http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/entity/entityturn-r29 instead of setrotation.

[[LUA] animated sprite sheet ?]

No, it would take millions of very small particles to make fire like this. It could be made with particles simulation in blender, but in the game it has to be animated sprite.

[Proper FPS weapon CS:GO-like ?]

But hidden entities won't cast shadows, will they?

 

Why don't you just render the first-person model with a material that has shadows but discards the fragments of the model in the normal shader? Then, you get the best of both worlds.

 

Personally, I would do what Josh suggested though. If you decide to use environmental probes, you're going to be in trouble.

How do you get your shadows from the first world render on top of the render from the second world?

 

I just don't like the idea of forcing player not to shoot simply because he is near the wall. It can be that he is still able to shoot someone but his controls are taken away.

 

Actually, while I was playing Fallout 4 I noticed that my weapon didn't seem to receive true shadows, most of the time it was completely dark or completely bright and I was wondering why. Maybe they simply check if the player is inside the light cone (they anyway need no to do this for the stealth system) and make the weapon darker if not. Have you noticed anything like this in other games?

[Proper FPS weapon CS:GO-like ?]

Edit: I think you can do something like SetRenderTarget to render a second camera's display to a texture (which is a big as your window), which you can use as an overlay on top of your main camera using something like DrawImage.

But how do you make it render only your weapon?

[Proper FPS weapon CS:GO-like ?]

Can't you duplicate your directional light into the second world to make it affect the gun?

[Get Name From Object without GetKeyValue() ?]

Why do you need it without GetKeyValue()?

[How can I make this look better]

And try shadmar's pbr shader. It will look great on metal plates.

Also, image that you linked has more pipes and details like that, you should add it too.

[global variable array problem]

fx or fy is a nil value. Make sure you set them to numbers you need.

[Problems with Cos/Sin/Tan]

You need

Math:Cos(angle)

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/math/mathcos-r583

It's always Class:Method. Also there is the same thing in Lua itself:

math.cos(angle)

[What other software do you use with Leadwerks?]

Substance Painter + Designer of course. Must have for every developer.

[How to check if any key is down in Lua]

You can loop through all keycodes instead of using Key calss.

window:KeyHit(70) is the same as window:KeyHit(Key.F)

[SetInput always in front direction of Player ?]

SetInput already moves player in his local axis. First parameter is rotation angle, don't set it to 0, set it to angle you want player to look at. And second parameter will move player forward in that direction.

Check out default FPSPlayer script, it sends camera rotation as first parameter, z input as second and x input is third.

[true versus false]

false means the frame rate game can exceed the refresh rate of your monitor(typically 60hz, so 60fps). In my opinion the only significant value of disabling vertical sync is for benchmarking.

Or if you don't want to have terrible input lag.

[Cryengine Models]

http://www.gamefromscratch.com/post/2016/03/15/Inside-The-CryEngine-Humble-Bundle.aspx

It says that there are Maya project, fbx and obj files, so I don't see a problem. But check out about license.

That's my script. You are supposed to have 5 prefabs with specified entry and exit pivots. And a start pivot as a beginning of a dungeon.

But I don't know what have you changed.

 

Edit: Have you just typed a string value in startPivot variable? You should drag a pivot entity in the scene on this variable in the inspector.

[Sniper gun????]

[It is possible to change the size of character controller physic model?]

Not really at this time. All AI uses the same navmesh, and the agent radius is used in the navmesh calculation.

 

I wouldn't really worry about this, I see this problem in AAA games all the time.

But still not being able to change character collider is a big problem. As you can see his scorpion is three times lower than collider so he should be able to crawl through small holes, but he won't with this collider.

[AddKeyValue?]

It can change existed value and add a new one if it didn't exist.

[KeyHit()]

Window:FlushKeys() will set all key states to 0. Call this before you switch to a menu or something.

Seems like another very importand method that isn't documented. It really should be listed at least somehow.

[[Solved] To Classify or Not in LUA]

I only made a small class once when I wanted to have the same RPG functions such as TakeDamage and IncreaseSkill the same for NPCs and player. So I created object of this class inside NPC script and Player script. But other than that it's just like Josh said, script is a class and each model on the scene with this script is an object of this class.

[How Do You Change World Gravity?]

You can call a function inside App.lua from any other script just like you use variables:

App:ChangeGravity(value)

[How Do You Change World Gravity?]

App.world:SetGravity(x,y,x)

 

When you create a variable in App script like this:

self.myVar=1

You can access it from any other script like this:

App.myVar=2

 

Or you can use global vars that can be accessed through any script including App.lua like this

myGlobalVar=1

[Double tap...]

Register time when button is pressed the first time and with the next tap check if (current time - first tap time) is short enough to consider it double tap.

[OSX publish]

Amazing still 3% using windows XP.

Why not? I switched to 7 a year ago only because of Leadwerks and never really had any other reason not to keep using XP.
