[short lua snippet :playing animation only one time]

Hi,

 

thx i think there is no short trick to get my which.. i miss the time:getcurrent somewhere and i think if(badguy.frame <(=) badguy.animlength) and the +0.3 stops animation in some cases before the last Animation frame. My try in lua is nearly the same..so i blow my code to get it more robust for different animation length/speet..

[Make turret Point() to direction on y axis]

Hi,

 

make an hidden helper sphere at cannon pos and point it to the target then get y-rotation from this helper sphere and put it to the cannon (maybe add 180 to flip)

tryed quick code down there but not tested carefull to free the helper...

 

helper = Model:Sphere()

helper:Hide()

helper:SetColor(0.0,1.0,1.0)

helper:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition(true),true)

helper:Point(self.target, 1, Time:GetSpeed() * self.rotSpeed)

self.entity:SetRotation(self.entity:GetRotation(true).x,self.helper:GetRotation(true).y+180 ,entity:GetRotation(true).z,true)

[projectmanager: easy way to make a copy from an project]

just a "copy to"... new Name... Button in the Project Manager would be fine.

 

I think Git is something for real programmers nothing for an script kiddie...

[remove physic forces complete]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to remove physic forces completely?

If i temporarely set collission to None for cinematic Animation and later put it back for further physics the old physic forces also come back.

 

if window:MouseDown(Key.LButton) then
self.state="ball"
self.childv = self.entity:FindChild("Daumen R") entitydb.kuerbis:SetMass(0)
entitydb.kuerbis:SetCollisionType(Collision.None)
entitydb.kuerbis:SetParent(self.childv,false)
entitydb.kuerbis:SetPosition(self.childv:GetPosition(true).x-0.1,self.childv:GetPosition(true).y+0.4,self.childv:GetPosition(true).z,true)
else
self.state="normal"
entitydb.kuerbis:SetParent(nil)
entitydb.kuerbis:SetMass(0.01)
entitydb.kuerbis:SetCollisionType(Collision.Prop)
end

[Ball physics]

Hi,

 

most is mass > 0 for your bullet and adding a force to it,

 

look in this tread for inspiration it is about arrows but it is nearly similar:.

Hi,

 

you have to handle sounds(noise.lua) by yourself - souds Play and Play and Play...

[ForEachEntityInAABBDo to find entities]

Hi,

 

you have to set the "name" key first for each entity you want maybe in an other script attached to this entities.

 

do in new script in the start section an

 

self.entity:SetKeyValue("name","something")

[Programming is not that easy! "Struggles"]

learn one language for the Basic concept. all other languages are the "same"

best to learn is one language you become good error Messages helping you to find your fault

80% faults are mistakes in writing

copy paste is your friend -for LE just steal from the Api Reference and adapt the code.

 

i startet in the 80s with

 

10 Print "Hello"

20 Goto 10

RUN

so you can make an Template for an Ball Game like soccer beachvolleyball or icehokey, this is most like RTS

[Show and Hide loaded Maps]

you can load maps by LE out of the box code but not in advance into Variables.

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/map/

 

if you look into your main.lua you can see an easy way to change maps premade...there is an Global to change the map by name.

 

you can also prog your own loading routine but that is a lot work or

you can make all in one big map with areas not seen by the single parts.

[howto a message before starting a map like "press space to start"]

jep this is clear but how do i stop the map and grab the space key before an entity script do

how do i prevent the map runs in Background of the space press message and playing sounds and the enemy begin to run around and so on...

[howto a message before starting a map like "press space to start"]

Hi,

 

have anyone a snippet or entrance to this topic.

i tryed a endlessloop in the main.lua but got only blackscreen or the map runs(sound begins ..) behind the message and grabs the keys by entity scripts.

 

please lua
