font:Release()

return true

end

 

function App:Loop()

 

if (self.window:Closed() or self.window:KeyDown(Key.Escape)) then return false end

 

self.context:SetColor(0,0,0)

self.context:Clear()

 

--Draw some centered text on the screen

local text = "Leadwerks"

 

local font = self.context:GetFont()

 

local x = self.window:GetWidth()/2

local y = self.window:GetHeight()/2

 

x = x - font:GetTextWidth(text)/2

y = y - font:GetHeight()/2

 

self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)

self.context:SetColor(1,1,1)

self.context:DrawText(text,x,y)

self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)

 

self.context:Sync()

[Text on the screen]

I must be missing something I did try that extenz but I can't seem to see anything. when I run it the frist time I got an error then I run it again and I got no error.

[Text on the screen]

I did put this in a text.lua and the put the pivot for the text.lua and put the pivot as a child of the fpsplayer. The in the text.lua I see Script: PostRender I hope this is what you mean?

 

-This function will be called after the world is rendered, before the screen is refreshed.

--Use this to perform any 2D drawing you want the entity to display.

function Script:PostRender(context)

 

function App:Start()

 

self.window = Window:Create()

self.context = Context:Create(self.window)

local font = Font:Load("Fonts/Arial.ttf",36)

self.context:SetFont(font)

font:Release()

return true

end

 

function App:Loop()

 

if (self.window:Closed() or self.window:KeyDown(Key.Escape)) then return false end

 

self.context:SetColor(0,0,0)

self.context:Clear()

 

--Draw some centered text on the screen

local text = "Leadwerks"

 

local font = self.context:GetFont()

 

local x = self.window:GetWidth()/2

local y = self.window:GetHeight()/2

 

x = x - font:GetTextWidth(text)/2

y = y - font:GetHeight()/2

 

self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)

self.context:SetColor(1,1,1)

self.context:DrawText(text,x,y)

self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)

 

self.context:Sync()

return true

end

[Text on the screen]

I am new to Lua, I am trying to learn Lua but I can's seem to get the text to show on the screen. Josh send me this link

 

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/context/contextdrawtext-r731 .

 

I have tried to put it in main.lua, tried to create text.lua, I tried to put it in a child of the player as a pivot but nothing shows up. I am trying to learn lua show I need to see the test to know I did it if you know what I mean?

[Light Help Please]

I am trying to get the light or lights close to right. Any ideas what I can do? I have tried Point Light, Directional Light and a Spot Light tried to adjusting the Properties but can't get close to right lighting for this room. when I tried the Directional Light I adjusting the Range but seem to me it go the the other room then just this this room. So I tried the Point Light but it gets to bright or it is to dark in the corners.

 

In both of these Pictures I just used the Directional Light so the pictures would not be dark.

 

[Problem I think!]

Yes I have looked at them. I read the frist one the Editor Interface.

[Problem I think!]

I just got Leadwerks on steam today and I seem to think that it is in beta still but I do not know. I have mapped for few games but never had these problems before as I am still learning Leadwerks. The grid snap it looks like it dose not snap right on the line when I go to grid 8 and as well it dose not stay on grid 8 it goes back to grid 32. When I look at the Tutorials on the site I do not see the "maybe very basic" basics tutorials and I am getting confused where to start here. I just created a basics room figure a little bit how things work in the editor. How do you change the keys and look at them in the editor? When I use the arrows keys in the 2d window it is really slow? When I move 2 or more brushes the bottom part of the brush moves off the grid line? I really like the layout of the editor. When I was testing the maps that come with Leadwerks I got confused how you test the level I when to the render in the menu bar it kept going to some kind of screen shot and it was under Game of the menu bar I would have not look there. I hope someone can help me out here.

 

Thanks,
