[window:KeyHit strange problem]

@Aggror: Yes this will solve the problem of window:KeyHit but affect window:KeyDown too, I use ASWD for character movement and they are flushed too, make my character unmovable. So that I think it is not good to put window:Keyflush() anywhere.

Is there any way to flush only one key ?

 

@Rick

I avoid the Hit functions generally and use the Down functions with my own Boolean for that specific case instead. The Hit functions have a few "quarks" that I don't like and often burn me.

I have a same thinking now I may combine window:KeyDown with some bool variable

 

@SGB: I want a key to execute an unique function only in specified condition(this case is player is inside a room), when player is outside the room, that key will do another task when hit.

 

Ex:

Press H in room 1 ~> display "Rick"

Press H in room 2 ~> display "Josh"

Press H in room 3 ~> display "SGB"

etc...

 

one key can execute diffirent tasks in a specified condition, so that I need to put window:KeyHit under an if statement

If I put if statement inside if window:KeyHit(). It does not work

 

this code does not work

if window:KeyHit(Key.H) then
if self.room == "Room1" then ... end
if self.room == "Room2" then ... end
if self.room == "Room3" then ... end
end

 

this does but if I use this, I will have problem which I describe in the first entry of this topic

if self.room == "Room1" then
if window:KeyHit(Key.H) then *dosomething* end
end
if self.room == "Room2" then
if window:KeyHit(Key.H) then *dosomething* end
end
if self.room == "Room3" then
if window:KeyHit(Key.H) then *dosomething* end
end

[window:KeyHit strange problem]

Just do this

local hHit = window:KeyHit(Key.H)

if self.player_Inside_Room and hHit then

System:Print("Yay!")

end

 

This won't work I tried.

[window:KeyHit strange problem]

I would put it in the main.lua loop and not in an entity script. Somewhere at the end of the loop so you know that all updateworld and updatephysics already have taken place.

 

Same resuit I put window:FlushKeys() at the bottom of loop and still can't move. You should give it a try, please

[window:KeyHit strange problem]

Sound like your keys are stored untill usage. You probably just have to use flush keys:

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/window/windowflushkeys-r903

 

I thought about this function once, but I wonder will it flush every keyboard interaction, include KeyDown if I put this in UpdateWorld ?

 

....

Oh I have tried FlushKeys(), put it in UpdateWorld() then I can not use my AWSD key anymore :"D

 

can you suggest me how to use this to solve my KeyHit problem ?

[window:KeyHit strange problem]

Today I found a strange problem with window:KeyHit

I put this code inside an if statement

 

if self.player_Inside_Room == true then
if window:KeyHit(Key.H) then
System:Print("Yay!")
end
end

 

I create a CSG box with collision type = Trigger, it will set self.player_Inside_Room = true when player collides, after that, I can press H to display "Yay!"

 

Strange thing is: I press and release H before entering the trigger but when I enter that box, the debug console displays "Yay!". It doesn't matter how long I have pressed H key before

 

How can I solve this? I just want to execute something only when I get inside the trigger and hit a key

[Record Camera/Object Path Movement Script]

Thanks Juan,

 

I can't find anyway to fix this atleast it work well with sanbox off

[Record Camera/Object Path Movement Script]

Finished and updated topic Hope you enjoy!

[Record Camera/Object Path Movement Script]

Totally off topic. What's that music?

Here you are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh1rGVFS4eY

[Record Camera/Object Path Movement Script]

Features

 

- Record camera path movement by controlling camera itself, what you see is what you get

- Path information can be saved to sperated file for later use

- Attach saved path file to any entity to playback recorded path

- Camera movement can be adjusted for smooth and better path record

- Great for cut scene or object with motion.

 

Demo

 

What I did in this demo:

- Record the first path and save it to path1.lua

- Record the second path and save it to path2.lua

- Create a small box then attach each of saved path files

- Attach path1.lua to Pivot, attach path2.lua to box, watch their combination

 

How to use

- Download and extract 2 lua files to anywhere in your project folder, example: Scripts/Recorder

- Create a Pivot in your map then attach

PlayerControl-PrototypeB.lua

to it

- Create a lua file then choose it as" Record File" in Script tab of the pivot (

This is required!

)

- Run the game

- Press

R

to start/stop record

- Press

P

to playback recorded path

- Press

Esc

to exit

- Create an entity, ex: a box. Attach

ObjectPathMovement.lua

to it

- Choose saved record file (

This is required!

)

- Run the game

- Press

J

to start playback recorded path for the entity

 

Other attributes explaination

PlayerControl-PrototypeB.lua

 

-

Playback Start:

Execute playback process right after the game start, using data from choosen record file

-

Clean Screen:

Hide all HUD elements while playback

-

Both Playback Start and Clean Screen are good for cutscene camera

-

Focus Object:

Drag any entity which you want camera to point at while moving, this will ignore recorded rotation of camera.

 

ObjectPathMovement.lua

 

-

Play Rotation

: if this is false, entity will ignore recorded rotation

ObjectPathMovement.lua

PlayerControl-PrototypeB.lua

[[Solved] Question about Script:Collision]

Yes it is, thank you. This works perfectly

[[Solved] Question about Script:Collision]

This does not work

 

I try

function Script:Collision(entity,position,normal,speed)
if entity:GetKeyValue("name") == "PlayerControl" then
System:Print("hit")
else
System:Print("no hit")
end
end

 

Then there is no "no hit" in output when player is outside of trigger box, of course it will display "hit" when player step inside the box. I want to do something when player step out or out side triggerbox.

[Monthly Script Challenge Nov 16]

Can I use my custom character controller to complete the challenge ?

[[Solved] Question about Script:Collision]

I can use a box with Collision Type = Trigger to detect player

 

function Script:Collision(entity,position,normal,speed)
self.playerInside = true
end

 

But I can't figure out how to execute when player NOT collides this box

 

something likes

 

function Script:Collision(entity,position,normal,speed)
if entity == player then
self.playerInside = true
else
self.playerInside = false --how can I do this :"D
end
end

[Best Way To Make A Cinematic?]

1. Write cutscene script (all stuff like: How all entities are placed, which shoud be moved first etc..)

2. Create the scene (using leadwerks brush or 3d program like blender)

3. Prepare character animation

4. Write code for camera movement / position / time

5. Combine all of them

It should be a "FAQ" topic :"P soon

Another script for flicker light

 

Script.flicker = true --bool "Flicker enabled"
Script.flickerRate = 0.5 --float "Flicker Rate"
-- Value range should be from 0 to 1
-- near 0 ~> light is off most of time
-- near 1 ~> light is on most of time

function Script:FlickerControl()
   if self.flicker then
       local rand = Math:Random(0,1)
       if rand < self.flickerRate then
           self:entity:Show()
       else
           self.entity:Hide()
       end
   end
end

[Decrease Character climb step height]

Thank you guys

[Decrease Character climb step height]

You could put a tall rectangle or cylinder around it with the invisible material and make it a prefab.

 

Thanks for your reply.

I thought about this solution before but it does not fit my need

I need to keep physic mesh of my object for specified purpose, this is my example, it is silly but can demontrate what I need hehe

 

I have a toilet, I want bulletshells which were ejected from my gun can physical interact to it,

I dont want to step on the toilet each time I get too close, decrease climbstep of character controler is the best solution (it is sad to know that it can not be changed)

 

If I use an invisible box to block my movement, bulletshells can not interact to toilet

[Decrease Character climb step height]

I just want not to step on something :"P like a mine. if you get close to a mine you can not step on it and it will block character physic

[Decrease Character climb step height]

How can I do that ?
