There is the un textured uv, a textured uv, and a image from the 3d program. Any ideas?

September 25, 2014

Okay this may sound dumb but my textures arnt working. In my 3d modeling program they all look fine, and in the texture preview they look fine. Yet when they are on the model its just a solid color not my texture. Its not with all my models though, as my monsters all look fine. There is also an issue with the weapons as they look fine and textured in the previewer, but when in game they to are solid color. Not sure if things are going wrong when I import the models or if there is just an issue with how the texturing is being applied. Please do tell me I am not the only one with this issue!

So I plugged the script into the the editor, and still nothing. I don't know what I am doing wrong.............. The ai script I am using for the test is just the default ai script, altered the name and animation sequences, from leadwerks. I took the hurt function directly from the fpsweapon (that I called) and the ai has functions for hurt. The collision is set on a collision box on the blade as a prop, and I even tried making the box larger to see if that would work but it didn't... I am so confused

September 10, 2014

Helpful, but confusing. So with this kinda code it should fire off everytime the blade makes contact?

import "Scripts/Objects/Player/FPSWeapon.lua"
Script.damage=10
Script.entered = false
Script.exited = false
Script.hadCollision = false
function Script:Start()
self.enabled=true
end
function Script:Fire()
local enemy = self:FindScriptedParent(Collision.entity,"Hurt")
if enemy.script.health>0 then
enemy.script:Hurt(self.damage,self.player)
end
	 --Blood emitter
	 e = self.emitter[2]:Instance()
	 e = tolua.cast(e,"Emitter")
	 e:Show()
	 e:SetLoopMode(false,true)
	 e:SetPosition(pickinfo.position+pickinfo.normal*0.1)
	 e:SetVelocity(0,0,0)
end
function Script:UpdatePhysics()
   if self.entered then
   Fire=true
   end
    if self.hadCollision == false then
	    if self.exited == false then
		    self.exited = true
		    self.component:CallOutputs("OnExit")
		    self.entered = false
	    end
    end
   end
   self.hadCollision = false
end
function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)
   self.hadCollision = true
   self.component:CallOutputs("OnCollide")
   if self.entered == false then
    self.component:CallOutputs("OnEnter")
    self.entered = true
    self.exited = false
   end
end

So I have been working for a few weeks on making and fixing up this code, and am at an impasse. I have the weapon equipping and swinging, but nothing is happening to the monsters. I have the code broken into 2 parts, 1 for the swinging and equip, and 1 (attached to a collision entity on the weapons blade) that when it collides with an enemy ai it is supposed to remove health from them. The second code I also plan on tweaking to include everyone who touches it (for traps) but have no clue. The code that isn't working is here.

import "Scripts/Objects/Player/FPSWeapon.lua"
Script.damage=10

function Script:Start()
self.enabled=true
end
function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)
if self.enabled then
 self.component:CallOutputs("Collision")
end
end

function Script:Fire()
local enemy = self:FindScriptedParent(Collision.entity,"Hurt")
if enemy.script.health>0 then
enemy.script:Hurt(self.damage,self.player)
end
 --Blood emitter
 e = self.emitter[2]:Instance()
 e = tolua.cast(e,"Emitter")
 e:Show()
 e:SetLoopMode(false,true)
 e:SetPosition(pickinfo.position+pickinfo.normal*0.1)
 e:SetVelocity(0,0,0)
end

I brought in collision code directly into it so it would know what it was looking for, and imported the script for fps weapon to get the damage system working. It is showing no errors but at the same time doesn't do anything. Any Ideas? I just want to get it working, so I can tweak it for each weapon and trap.

Me and my team have been working with leadwerks for a little bit now, but have run into many issues with the programming, things are working and we don't know why or how, and things aren't working and we don't know why or how. We have been trying to do things ourselves and have also tried asking on the forums here, but feel as if we are just not skilled enough at programming. So we wanted to bring someone into the team who DOES know what they are doing. We have the full version on steam, so we can do c++ and lua scripts with no issues. Anyone here know where we can ask people about to join in? We don't have a lot of funding right now, but are setting up an indiegogo and would be more than willing to pay from that and from the profits...once the game is finished (for the profits that is, indiegogo funding will just be after we get the amount asked). Would that be a bad thing, and we should wait until after the indiegogo? I don't where to go, our last project everyone just kinda worked in their spare time...

August 18, 2014

Alright cool, thank you again if I have any problems I will let you know! Once I get the "weak point" script tweaked and working better I will shoot it your way, never know when you might need it.

August 18, 2014

The only languages I have programmed well in was c#, unrealscript, and actionscript 2. I am told that c++ is like c#, not sure what to believe there as they also said unreal script was like visual basic. If I do stick with lua, would you be able to suggest a site to help understand it better?

August 18, 2014

Alright thank you ^.^ me and the other modeler are going to be retoping our monsters, most of the poly count is from the rounding of the body and face. I figured out how to make the melee weapon do damage, and goofing around with a bit of coding to figure it out, even found a way to randomize (between diffrent numbers) the damage to fit the rpg feel. I wrote a script that seems to be working that I will include in the complete package to be applied to specific bones to increase damage delt to the monsters if they are hit there, needs some tweaking and bug fixing but it kinda works . Would you suggest staying with lua or going more into the c++? I do have the full version is why I ask.

August 18, 2014

I am very grateful, I was simply asking if the issue was the same for the weapon as the harpy, and about it causing my frame rate drop. I understand how it may sound, and I do thank you for being patient with me. I do wounder why the uv's didn't transfer from blender though. It may have something to do with sculptris perhaps, will have to look into it. I do thank you, and WILL accredit you for your help with everything you have done. I may ask a few question here and there from time to time, but only after I have looked at it more thoroughly. Again I am very grateful for your help. There are not many places for me to look about lua in comparison to leadwerks, other than here. If I have any more question, I will ask. Thank you

function Script:Release()

end

those are what I have. Any idea what I am doing wrong? (side note should I reduce the polys on the monster?)

I keep seeing new people posting here a request for code that does exactly "this" or "that" for them, when they are needing to learn and understand basic lua/LE commands and LE in general. It's a little of wanting to run before you can walk scenario. People need to realize that for all intents and purposes that LE3.2 is relatively "new" for everyone, and even for the people that it isn't new, they might not have actually written code that does exactly what you are wanting to do. I am sure at some point in the future there will be plenty of generic scripts that will cover a lot of what some people want to accomplish, but without knowing lua or LE commands you won't be able to change it to do exactly what you want.

The fpsplayer & fpsweapon scripts are a decent place to start for what you are trying to accomplish with weapons. The inherent fpsplayer prefab will load the autopistol prefab and the fpsweapon script will handle its animations. So start simple: first make a prefab from your weapon model and a fpsweapon-like script that will handle its animations. Then try assigning it to the weapons variable in the fpsplayer prefab that you have placed into a scene. If you did things right then you should at least see your weapons prefab when you run the scene.

After that, then if you still have problems then post questions on the forum. There are always people here willing to help. What always helps a person to get a faster response to their problem is if they actually provide some way for Josh or the community to actually be able to reproduce the issue. You posting your models and scripts are always useful. And most importantly, if you want a specific answer then ask a specific question.

I have been learning a bit of lua on my own, but the issues I am having here are from using the default scripts in the engine. I asked for a tutorial to understand what I am doing wrong, also asked to just be pointed in the right direction not for people to spell it out for me. I want to make it so everything in my project works, and once it all works setting up a basic tutorial for my things, or simply making a free package of them, with comments on what each code does so new people like me can understand it better and learn from it

the issues with the ai is, that when I put the script on my own custom models, it doesnt fire off any of the commands set up in its code(the animations, attacking, moving nothing). The same with the melee weapons. I edited the codes for the animations to match up to mine (like changing the sequence numbers). But nothing. Not to mention, when I have the coding on my weapon and it exists in a scene it drops my fps to 10 from 70. without the code it doesnt effect it.

August 18, 2014

Hello again, I hate bothering you guys with what seems to be bacis stuff. I need some help editing or writing my own code for ai and melee weapons. I have their animations all imported (both weapon and monsters) and have set up some basic scenes to test them. I took a look at the prefab monster code as well as the prefab fps weapon code. I thought simply changing the code with my own values and equipping them would work for now, but it doesn't. I dont even know where to begin. Is there a tutorial for a basic ai and melee weapon system? Lua or c++ would work for it. Any packages possibly for me to take a look at? I am sorry so very lost.

August 15, 2014

well that worked very well thank you!! Now for the task of despawning them when you are away from them haha

What Aggror said and you are over-riding your 'self.item' table in the Start function. You created a table but set both variables to 'self.item[1]'... should change to a [0] & [1].

And you haven't associated the actual prefabs being loaded to the variable names.

And you are doing a math.random between 1 & 3 but don't have that many table elements for self.item.

The error you just had is because the line should be:

if self.counter >= self.Spawncount then...

'Spawncount' is undefined (nil) and in itself is a different variable from Script.Spawncount (=self.Spawncount inside a Script function)

The same issue will occur with 'lastSpawnTime' since it is not defined.

Alright, so I fixed the spawn cound issue, and found and issue with spawn count. fixed that issue and now am stuck with a error saying "attempting to index nill value" with my code "local item=self.item[math.random(1,3)]:Instance() " I have 3 items (added a bow to it) but something isnt clicking with it. do I need to refrence the script again in the function Script:start? Or make mention of the index in the update?

August 15, 2014

i removed the comment lines (and fixed a few bugs it found) bu now there is the error "attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'lastSpawnTime' (a nil value)". Is there someting wrong with the script there? and is there something wrong after that as well?

August 15, 2014

I changed my script to lua (as the random number thing is easier, but now I am more lost haha)

I tried a bit of fusing around with my code, and it stopped giving me errors, but now nothing spawns still. Did I do something wrong?

Script.SpawnRate = 1 --float
Script.Spawncount = 1--int
--[[
function Script:Start()
self.item={}
self.item[1]=self.Gladios
self.item[1]=self.Spear

self.counter = 0


end
]]--
--[[
function Script:UpdateWorld()

end
]]--
--[[
function Script:UpdatePhysics()
if self.counter >= Spawncount then return end
local a = math.random(0,1)
if Time:GetCurrent() > self.lastSpawnTime + (self.SpawnRate * 1000) then
self.counter = self.counter + 1
self.lastSpawnTime = Time:GetCurrent()
local Gladios = Prefab:Load("Map Assets/greate maze/weapons/gladios.pfb")
local Spear = Prefab:Load("Map Assets/great maze/weapons/Spear.pfb")
item:SetPosition(self.itemlocation+Vec3(0,1,0))
local item=self.item[math.random(1,3)]:Instance() 
end
]]--

Well there is no easy AlignToTerrain() function that I know of so for making the item spawn on the correct axis you will probably need to do some coding. What I do in my game is spawn the item above its location and give it a mass of above 1. Then once the item hits the ground its mass goes to 0 and it sits still.

It would look something like this in code -

local item=self.item:Instance() --spawn item

item:SetPosition(self.itemlocation+Vec3(0,1,0)) --set Item above spawn location

item:SetMass(1) --set Items mass to 1 so it begins falling

item.script.falling=true --set falling to true so that the items Collision() function will work

function Script:Collision() --this collision function needs to be within the Items Script.

if self.falling then --check for falling

if entity:GetCollisionType()==Collision.Scene and not entity.script then --terrain check

self.entity:SetMass(0) --set mass to 0 to become still

end

end

end

That won't work for everything but maybe it will help a bit.

For getting numbers that are relative to items you would need something like this to spawn the item -

local item=self.item[self.itemnumber]:Instance()

Let me know if this helps at all!

Sorry I am rather new like I said, but how do I define what number corrisponds with what item. Would I replace self.item.instance with self.gladios.instance?(gladios is one of the weapons). or local item=self.gladios(self.1):instance() ? along with that, if I do get it spawning, wouldnt the mass make it roll off my the shelf its ment to be on? I saw someone who wrote a code for spawning monsters in a set location, but they had to define the rotation as well, would that also be needed? Thank you again for responding, just trying to figure out things

August 15, 2014

So I am rather new to c++ and lua programming. I understand the basics of what the code I want is, just not how to express them. I want to choose between a number of things to randomly spawn in specific locations (like have one location but every time you return it is a diffrent item). I have the prefabs set up in the engine, and I want to assosiate those prefabs in the code with a number, and have the random number generator (which I have and it works) pick a number and then after that number is picked, spawn the item. I understand that for each piece I would have to do an If() statment, but don't understand how to make it spawn on the axis I set up in the map. Also The code I tried (but deleted because of it making leadwerks crash when it activated) would choose the number, but not be able to read what the number was supposed to be assosiated with. Any help, even just points in the right direction, would be very appreciated.

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void main()
{
//clear the screen.
clrscr();
//declare variables as int.
int high,low,random;
//get the data.
cout<<"Enter higher limit:";
cin>>high;
cout<<"Enter lower limit:";
cin>>low;
//generate random number
random = (rand() % (high-low+1) + low);
//print the numbers
cout<<random<<endl;
//get character
getch();
}

that is my random number generator code (that I use to choose the items( I use the code several diffrent time for diffrent items))
