[Entity:SetParent issue or bad code]

Working perfectly now, thank you very much again.

[Entity:SetParent issue or bad code]

Character : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=614465844

The shield was downloaded from tf3dm without any textures ( i've made some red ones ).

Anyway, i have checked now the scaling and yes, that shield was scaled at 100 CM because was HUGE. I have replaced the shield with Models/Pipes/pipe_flange.mdl ( default model with leadwerks ) which is scaled at 1,1,1 and i have the same result, can't see the 'shield'.

 

--EDIT: I have tested with crawler, it is working perfectly. It is also working on the other character, i have noticed that i didn't attached to a bone but to a node or something like that. I have attached it to a finger and is working. The only issue now is that the "shield" is rotating around the character's finger but i guess that this is another lesson to learn

Thank you very much for your help macklebee, i've just made another step from those 1M steps i have to make to create my Skyrim clone

[Entity:SetParent issue or bad code]

Thank you for info, i have already tried to set parent as self.leftHandShield without success.

I have added some extra prints to make sure that parent is set and it seems that everything should work.

The issue persists, if i set parent as self.entity everything is ok but the shield follows the main body, if i set to self.leftHandShield i can't see it.

Child

AddShield()

function Script:AddShield()
self.leftHandShield = self.entity:FindChild("mixamorig:LeftHand")
self.bonePosition = self.leftHandShield:GetPosition(true)
self.shields.shield1:SetPosition(self.bonePosition,true)
self.shields.shield1:SetParent(self.leftHandShield,true)
if self.shields.shield1:GetParent() ~= nil then
System:Print("Shield Position: "..self.shields.shield1:GetPosition(true):ToString());
System:Print("Shield current Parent: "..tostring(self.shields.shield1:GetParent()).." Set "..tostring(self.leftHandShield))
else
System:Print("Shield has been set to an invalid bone");
end
end

 

Output :

SHield Position: 6.364595, 1.808138, -0.224094
Shield current Parent: userdata: 0x002e5ef8 Set userdata: 0x002e5ef8

 

Maybe i am missing something.

[Entity:SetParent issue or bad code]

Hello,

 

As many other users around, i am new to LUA and Leadwerks even if i use it since 1 year ago. I mostly play with his functions... no big deal. Yesterday i have spent over 12 hours using it and i have managed to do some interesting things. While going 'advanced', i have tried to add a basic shield model to my character using FindChild and SetParent functions. It seems that if i attach the shield to self.entity while setting his position on the left hand bone, the shield will follow the character. If i attach it directly to the left hand bone, the shield position is the same but doesn't follow the character not even remains attached to the bone while doing anims.

Here is a short video explaining better the situation.

 

Codes :

Start()

function Script:Start()
--other stuff
self.shields={}
self.shields.shield1 = Model:Load("Models/Shields/shield1.mdl")
--other stuff
end

UpdateWorld()

function Script:UpdateWorld()
--other functions
if window:KeyHit(Key.Enter) then
self:AddShield()
end
--other functions
end

AddShield()

function Script:AddShield()
self.leftHandShield = self.entity:FindChild("mixamorig:LeftHand")
self.shields.shield1:SetPosition(self.leftHandShield:GetPosition(true),true)
self.shields.shield1:SetParent(self.leftHandShield[0])--noticed that there are more bones !?
System:Print("SHield Position: "..self.shields.shield1:GetPosition(true):ToString());
end

 

There is anything i can do to have this working ?

Thanks
