[Mouse and multiple monitors]

Is there a command to lock the cursor to the monitor the game is on? When you accidentally click on another screen it minimizes the game.

[Problems Trying to get GUI working]

I never got it to work decently without modifying button.lua. Haven't used it for a long time but here's an old modified button.lua script.

 

Script.pushed=false
Script.hovered=false

function Script:Draw(x,y,width,height)
   --System:Print("Paint Button")
   local gui = self.widget:GetGUI()
   local pos = self.widget:GetPosition(true)
   local sz = self.widget:GetSize(true)
   local scale = gui:GetScale()

   gui:SetColor(1,1,1,1)

   if self.pushed then
       gui:SetColor(0.2,0.2,0.2)
   else
       if self.hovered then
           gui:SetColor(0.3,0.3,0.3)
       else
           gui:SetColor(0.25,0.25,0.25)
           gui:SetColor(0.15,0.15,0.15,1.0,1)
       end
   end

--    gui:SetGradientMode(true)
--    gui:DrawRect(pos.x,pos.y,sz.width,sz.height,0,scale*3)
   gui:DrawRect(pos.x,pos.y,sz.width,sz.height,0,0)
--    gui:SetGradientMode(false)

   if self.pushed then
       gui:SetColor(0.0,0.0,0.0)
   else
       gui:SetColor(0.75,0.75,0.75)
   end
   --gui:DrawLine(pos.x,pos.y,pos.x+sz.width,pos.y)
   --gui:DrawLine(pos.x,pos.y,pos.x,pos.y+sz.height)

   if self.pushed then
       gui:SetColor(0.75,0.75,0.75)
   else
       gui:SetColor(0.0,0.0,0.0)       
   end
   --gui:DrawLine(pos.x+1,pos.y+sz.height-1,pos.x+sz.width-1,pos.y+sz.height-1)
   --gui:DrawLine(pos.x+sz.width-1,pos.y+1,pos.x+sz.width-1,pos.y+sz.height)

   if self.hovered then
       gui:SetColor(51/255/4,151/255/4,1/4)
   else
       gui:SetColor(0,0,0)
   end
--    gui:DrawRect(pos.x,pos.y,sz.width,sz.height,1,scale*3)
   gui:DrawRect(pos.x,pos.y,sz.width,sz.height,1,0)

   local text = self.widget:GetText()
   if text~="" then
       gui:SetColor(0.0,0.0,0.0)
       if self.pushed then
           --gui:DrawText(text,pos.x+scale+scale,pos.y+scale+scale,sz.width,sz.height,Text.Center+Text.VCenter)   
       else
           gui:DrawText(text,pos.x+scale,pos.y+scale,sz.width,sz.height,Text.Center+Text.VCenter)   
       end
       gui:SetColor(0.75,0.75,0.75)
       if self.pushed then
           gui:DrawText(text,pos.x+scale,pos.y+scale,sz.width,sz.height,Text.Center+Text.VCenter)   
       else
           gui:DrawText(text,pos.x,pos.y,sz.width,sz.height,Text.Center+Text.VCenter)   
       end
   end
end

function Script:MouseEnter(x,y)
   self.hovered = true
   self.widget:Redraw()
end

function Script:MouseLeave(x,y)
   self.hovered = false
   self.widget:Redraw()
end

function Script:MouseMove(x,y)
   --System:Print("MouseMove")
end

function Script:MouseDown(button,x,y)
   --System:Print("MouseDown")
   self.pushed=true
   self.widget:Redraw()
end

function Script:MouseUp(button,x,y)
   --System:Print("MouseUp")
   local gui = self.widget:GetGUI()
   self.pushed=false
   if self.hovered then
       EventQueue:Emit(Event.WidgetAction,self.widget)
   end
   self.widget:Redraw()
end

function Script:KeyDown(button,x,y)
   --System:Print("KeyDown")
end

function Script:KeyUp(button,x,y)
   --System:Print("KeyUp")   
end

[Colliding with triggers using SweptCollisionMode on]

Objects with swept collision enabled collide with every collision type. I need to get my ball through hidden models. I'm using the beta version.

[Having issues with animation end hook]

It may be stuck in attack mode calling the animation constantly. One-shot animations should only be called once. Adding System:Print("end animation") in your EndAttack function will show in the output window if it's getting called. You can try this script on the crawler prefab and see if it helps in any way.

 

Script.mode = "idle"

function Script:UpdateWorld()
   if window:MouseHit(2) then --play crawler attack animation
       self.mode = "attack"
   end

   if self.mode == "attack" then
       self.mode = "Waiting for animation to stop"
       self.entity:StopAnimation()
       self.entity:PlayAnimation("Attack2",0.009,10,1,"EndHit")
   elseif self.mode == "idle" then
       self.entity:PlayAnimation("Idle",0.02)
   end
end

function Script:EndHit()
   self.mode = "idle"
end

function Script:PostRender()
   context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
   context:SetColor(1,1,1,1)
   context:DrawText("Mode: "..self.mode, 400, 200)
   context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)
end

[Script Editor Window Starts slightly off screen]

Mine's identical to Einlander's. Is this a multi-monitor thing?

[Having issues with animation end hook]

Looks right to me. All I can suggest is playing with the animation speed (0.03) or using the new animation commands, PlayAnimation and StopAnimation.

[Rick Powers]

That is a very cool game man! I'm on my laptop so it's harder to play with the mouse pad so I stopped at the moving platform in level 2 but very cool concept there!

 

Thanks. Yeah I always think of people with laptops but I don't think I could make it any easier in this case.

Now on Leadwerks Game Launcher

[Shadow For Non-Animated, Controller-Parented Model]

Long shot but I wonder if it's related to this bug Josh couldn't replicate:

 

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/14918-putting-a-script-on-my-player-removes-their-shadow/#entry101108

 

"In the...appearance tab change the view range to near, medium or far." and not Max

"It only applies to point and spot lights, not directional."

[Ogg support]

I see. Hopefully Josh will add it to the engine. Good work!

[Ogg support]

Why not just use this?

[Text format for importing an animation?]

Macklebee the guru That is good to know but in my experience usually some of the start/end animation frames they list are incorrect and you have to do it manually anyway.

[Text format for importing an animation?]

Doesn't it just import the animations from another model?

[Colliding with triggers using SweptCollisionMode on]

I am currently experiencing this problem. I can disable swept collision and have the object randomly fall through the floor or enable it and have it bounce off the triggers.

[Ogg support]

Yep, my current project uses only 1 looped song because of this and it's 27MB (3.6MB OGG) for 2:39 minutes.

 

Music in Little Dagon is 157MB but converted to OGG is 22.5MB.

 

/me pokes Josh, twice, in the forehead

[Keypad script makes some user crash.]

After resetting the code to 0 then clicking another button, it tries to release 4 prefabs instead of 1 and crashes trying to release #2 prefab. See if this fixes it in MakeNums:

 

After this line

local Ccode = tostring(num)

add

if num == 0 then Ccode = "0000" end

[Steam says Game Launcher running]

Uninstalled the launcher

[Steam says Game Launcher running]

So screen shots will be uploaded to the launcher...

[Steam says Game Launcher running]

When you run a standalone version of a project in the beta version Steam says Leadwerks Game Launcher is running. Just run the .exe from your project folder.

[Shortcut to align to ground]

There are editors that do that as well as align the object to the normals as you move it around while holding a key down.

[Guns have crooked barrels]

Just checked some games. Half-Life, Team Fortress 2, Far Cry 3, 7 Days to Die, Borderlands 2 all shoot dead on the reticle even up close... I'd check more but I just end up playing them.

[Guns have crooked barrels]

I can try! Ok understood. You may delete this thread.

[Guns have crooked barrels]

Ever since decals were added to the engine all guns shoot down and to the right. In the pic I was shooting where the reticle is. This is a new FPS project with the stock fps player prefab and autopistol prefab in non-beta.

[.fbx and textures problem]

Copy the statue.fbx file to LeadWerks, then copy everything from the directory statue.fbm to the directory the statue.mdl is in. It will automatically add the textures to the material file. Also if you open the normals texture in the texture editor you have to select "Normal map." LeadWerks only imports it as a normal map if you have _dot3 in the filename, like "statue_bump_dot3.png." If your icons are still black after that just open them and click save.

 

I hope Josh changes the import to search for a "model.fbm" directory for the material editor to pull the textures from.
