[pointentity]

This thread is from 2011. There is no PointEntity anymore, it is Point.

self.entity:Point(Entity2)

self.entity is the entity the script is attached to.

Did you create a navmesh?

[3rd person and Weapons and multiplayer]

Here's the function for the staff I did in this old video. Offsets were trial and error and need changing for each model. It's called in UpdateWorld() That was my only attempt so there's probably a better way.

function Script:AttachWeapon()
	if self.fingerBone == nil then
		self.fingerBone = self.entity:FindChild("Bone R Finger11")
		if self.fingerBone == nil then
			Debug:Error("Finger bone to attach weapon to not found.")
		end
	end
	local fingerPos = self.fingerBone:GetPosition(true)
	local fingerRot = self.entity:GetRotation(true)

	local tscale = self.entity:GetScale()
	local fPos = Transform:Point(0.01 / tscale.x, .02 / tscale.y, .03 / tscale.z, self.fingerBone, nil) --offset

	playerInfo[ourID].weaponEntity:SetPosition(fPos.x, fPos.y, fPos.z, true)
	playerInfo[ourID].weaponEntity:SetRotation(fingerRot.x-23, fingerRot.y, fingerRot.z, true)
end

 

[Polymesh physics collision generation fails on complex models]

As a quick test I scaled it up by 1000% and collapsed it.

[Polymesh physics collision generation fails on complex models]

Did you try Tools>collapse in the model editor?

Both of those work fine, even though there is no reason to use 'string.format()' in your example.

Drawtext is bugged when used with the built in GUI. Looks like a gui redraw issue.

The following shows the problem. Hit escape for menu, then click outside the buttons.
 

import("Scripts/Menu.lua")

window = Window:Create("example",0,0,800,600)
context = Context:Create(window)
world = World:Create()
light = DirectionalLight:Create()
light:SetRotation(45,45,0)
camera = Camera:Create()
camera:SetPosition(0,0,-3)

counter = 1400
toggle = 0
myfont = Font:Load("Fonts/arial.ttf", 16)
context:SetFont(myfont)

clip = 10
Ammo = 100

local gamemenu = BuildMenu(context)

gamemenu.newbutton:SetText("RESUME GAME")
window:HideMouse()

while window:Closed()==false do
	if gamemenu:Update()==false then return end

	if toggle==1 then counter = counter + 10 end
	if toggle==0 then counter = counter - 10 end
	if counter>=1400 then toggle = 0 end
	if counter<=10 then toggle = 1 end

	if gamemenu:Hidden() then
		Time:Update()
		world:Update()
	end
	world:Render()

	context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
	context:SetColor(1,0,0,.5)
	context:DrawRect(38,30,300,300,1,30)
	context:SetColor(0,1,1,1)
	context:DrawText(string.format("Ammo1: "..clip.. " | " ..Ammo), 100, 80)
	context:SetColor(1,0,0,.5)
	context:DrawText(string.format("%.0f",counter),38,30,300,300,Text.VCenter+Text.Center)
	context:SetColor(1,1,1,1)
	context:DrawText(string.format("Ammo2: "..clip.. " | " ..Ammo), 30, 100, 300, 250, Text.VCenter+Text.Center)
	context:SetColor(0,1,1,1)
	context:DrawText(string.format("Ammo3: "..clip.. " | " ..Ammo), 100, 300)
	context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)
	context:Sync(true)
end

Put that command in your .bat file. It will output it in output.txt

I've had that happen as well as tree shadows appearing where there are no trees.

[Road Tool?]

Still plans for a road tool? SetLayerAlpha/GetLayerAlpha appear to be broken so it can't be done that way.

OK, tried the code, but it doesn't work, when I go inside, it just flicker and the terrain is still visible

Here's a compiled version to try.

Hi;

In  TerrainRemove.lua, tSize and terrain are undefined ?

They are defined in Main.lua

Not yet. That will be done later.

[Hide Terrain by code]

Was playing with terrain the other day for fun so I put it in the workshop. It's too bad not all the terrain commands are working/exposed to lua.

" terrainCutter.lua Lowers terrain the size of the model/CSG it's attached to. terrainRemove.lua lowers it when you enter the model's AABB then restores it when not in it's AABB. "

[Controller not rotating unless moving]

huh? am i missing something? why wouldn't it not rotate if i don't move the mouse?

 

Maybe I missed something. I'm talking about the character falling through the platform.

[Controller not rotating unless moving]

Yeah, not quite sure what i should be seeing here in the beta. I can turn completely around with just the mouse while not pressing the WSAD keys.

 

What happens if you run it and don't move the mouse either?

[Controller not rotating unless moving]

or just update your project to any of the available versions, beta (Ver4.4), stable (Ver4.3), or Ver4.1. This latest issue was caused by an "optimization" in the Ver4.2 that was resolved within a week or two and was never part of the Ver4.3 stable release.

 

This does occur in the latest (4.4) beta. The attached map should show this if you run it and don't move the player.

[Problem Getting Camera.RenderToTarget Working]

Been a while since I used it but I believe you just have to set the monitor's material to use the same texture you set for the camera, which would probably be monitor.mat.

edit: Just tested. I set a csg to greengrid.mat and the camera's render texture to greengrid.tex. This is looking at it with the FPS player.

[Character Controller's Jump Height Bugged]

Good thought. The height from a flat jump remains the same but the sloped jump improved from 5.77 to 8.71. I'd love to see it get even closer to the full height (ideally the whole thing). Here's what the video looks like now:

 

My solution didn't work for you?

[Character Controller's Jump Height Bugged]

Have you thought about using SetVelocity to set the character's vertical velocity to zero when they jump?

 

Vec3 v = player->GetVelocity()

v.y=0

player->SetVelocity(v)

 

This works but the jump is still not high enough. The y velocity is negative on a downward sloped jump. The following seems to work but note I didn't test it very much...

 

local tmp = self.entity:GetVelocity()

if tmp.y < 0 then

tmp.y = math.abs(tmp.y) --compensate for negative velocity

self.entity:SetVelocity(tmp)

end
