[lifes and health]

Do you mean from a user interface perspective or from a programming perspective (as in the domain model)?

 

The Programming aspect in combination with the graphical interface... but like:

 

100 health.

when under water for 30 seconds life decreasing. and then on 0 you will respawn at start position.

and when life decreases the health bar will decrease too.

 

how is this possible? and any manuals for this?

 

Cheers!

[LuaGui]

How to use this ? is there any kind of ready to use example for this?

that you can try it out yourself?

[Standalone exe.]

Maybe making a visual studio install project you can add a solution to the project you are already working on.

[Water In Lua... OK, How Is It Done?]

you forgot to add the water in the directory?

 

fw.update()

fw.render()

[FPS script]

I modified the character controller which is provided by LE Engine. it's LUA coded. and I made it an function. so it could be loaded very easy in my scene loader.

if you like to I can give you the full code

it's quite working and great to use

[show menu?]

Here would be one quick and dirty way

 

showMenu = false

function ShowMenu()
  -- draw your menu here
end

if KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) == 1 then
     showMenu = true;
end

SetBlend(1)
ShowMenu()
SetBlend(0)
Flip(0)

 

That's pretty basic. What I do with stuff like this is create states. A simple state could have an Update() and Draw() function. More complex can have transition methods, but in Lua I do something like:

 

function MainMenuUpdate()
  -- example might be looking for the mouse click over a button and set currentState variable to a different state which will route it into that states functions that you create
end

function MainMenuDraw()
end

currentState = "main.menu"

-- create the table and store functions for each state
gameStates = {}
gameStates["main.menu"].onUpdate = MainMenuUpdate
gameStates["main.menu"].onDraw = MainMenuDraw


--  main loop
while(...)
  -- call the update on whatever state we are in. inside these states is where we can change the currentState variable
  gameStates[currentState].onUpdate()

  gameStates[cirrentState].onDraw()
  Flip()
end

 

Then you can get fancy with transitions because this idea above just instantly switches states, but transitions can make for cooler looking transitions between states.

 

awesome, and whats the best? to use images or the DrawRect variable?

and how can I add those?

 

the easier thing for you would be telling me where I can find A manual for this kind of things instead if you like to offcourse

[show menu?]

Hello all,

 

is there a possible way, when I press the escape button it will show up a menu? normally I use

SetBlend(1)
        --code for menu which I need to know.
SetBlend(0)
Flip(0)

 

 

and if it's possible how to make a game menu in lua?

such as game preloader.

 

and my second question is:

 

when I open up my game in full screen (start.Lua File) it always shows command window.

I opened a thread for another language to accomplish that. but how to do that for LUA?

 

sorry for the questions. I'm still learning

 

Cheers!

[Animated character in package and Sample projects :]

This is what I'm doing right now. A little FPS demo template for LEBuilder, with an animated character.

 

that is actually an great idea, is there an thread on it? or are you still in heavy develop?

 

Cheers

[resize water / positioning water]

Thanks guys,

 

I think I could figure it out. I'm kinda new to LUA, and I don't want to use C++

 

cheers

[resize water / positioning water]

Hey guys,

 

I had a question about the water in the editor.

when I place water is it then also possible to re-size it so it is in a small place or area?

like in a sink, bathtub, pool...

 

I hope someone can help me with this,

 

Cheers!

[model scale?]

I think most people here use 1 unit = 1 meter .. it's not hardcoded anywhere (but you'd want to change the default cull and lod ranges) so you could scale everything else to dexsoft scale I think.. but since i'm from europe I've never used anything other than meters so this scale seems natural to me

 

I'm from europe too, but normaly using (in game style) pixels. because everything is based on it.

thanks for the help

[model scale?]

Hello all,

 

Does someone knows the exact modeling scale? because I bought a set of models on: dexsoft-games. and I think they are a bit too large.

so what's the scale?

 

regards,

[collison problem?]

Thanks!!

 

You guys are the best, it totally worked for me

I even can't believe it worked for me

 

Cheers

[Any VB.net documentation?]

I don't remember currently, but may be you can avoid the prompt using a Form application instead of Console application, though I think it isn't included a template for that but you can easily do that, just try to create a new Form application project, add the reference to LE.NET.dll (it is in the SDK folder) and put the example code in the Program.Start (I don't remember if it's the same as C#). As mentioned, I don't remember if it will avoid the console prompt, because it is created by the engine itself.

 

thanks will try tomorrow, do some more of you guys have that annoying command prompt window?

 

Cheers

[collison problem?]

Hey all,

 

I have made a model but the only problem it constant gives is no collision. I can just walk trough it

How can I solve this on the easy way?

 

I attached the files the obj and mtl file is listed in a sub directory rock.zip

what am I doing wrong ?

 

Cheers!

[lower terrain?]

You can make islands regardless (you start from the bottom of the sea .. but sure, just flatten the terrain at some middle height, then you can lower and raise it .. you can also fill your heightmap file with some solid gray color in gimp or photoshop

 

thanks

[lower terrain?]

Hey guys,

 

Is there a option to lower an terrain (such as holes in the floor) instead of making mountains?

I want to do this because I like to make islands for my game.

 

Cheers,

[Any VB.net documentation?]

I know what you guys mean

I code VB for several years now.

but not in game engine style so that's new to me

[Any VB.net documentation?]

thanks guys.

is there also a possibility to hide the very annoying command prompt window?

[Any VB.net documentation?]

Hello Community,

 

is there any documentation for the VB.net wrapper?

 

with little examples to use camera commands or other important functions?

I'm using Leadwerks engine 2.5 and Project builder with VB.net project creator.

 

it would be great if there is such a thing.

Please pm me or reply here.

 

Cheers,

Dennis

[Leadwerks Engine 2.5 release Monday night]

[simple question]

HI,

 

1:) yes, gravity can be disabled per scene or per object. Besides that you can also change the gravity into the direction you want to.

 

2:) It is possible to make an online game with Leadwerks, but you do need to have someone in your team who knows how to do network programing.

 

wich means ? do I need to use a 3rd party addon, or is it build in ?

 

it's about making a online space game
