ok everyone i found my error thanks for the quick response. Best programming community in the world hands down My mistake was that my block breaks apart and the broken models need to have sweep collision set to enabled.

ok update so i removed my collision hook and it no longer falls through, but why does my collision hook allow my moddel to fall through?

So i have a model in the editor and another being loaded in code. all the settings are the same, same model being loaded with the same phy file being loaded but the one being loaded by code is falling through the floor while the one in the editor collides and reacts as expected. this is possibly a bug but i wanted to make sure i wasn't doing something wrong first. ~Xtreampb~

so they are there for like the scene and in your instance it will map and mimic the meshes that make up your model?

I'm vote a +1. I do everything in code but hoping to do more level designing as it would be a pain to design these levels in code (but not impossible).

i have a few models that don't have a 'normal' shape. I've been using convex hull as when i use the polymesh, i don't seem to get any reaction when i set the mass to 1

i would say a convex hull would be better. I don't know what the difference between the 2 except the polymesh seams to be static. I set a polymesh mass and nothing happens when i suspend the model :/ edit: Oh because you want to enter it you set it to poly that makes sense but then why are you using physics at all? How does polymesh work differently than convex hull?

i'm glad you liked it. Planning on using steam to distribute. would help me out with the networking section if i could use steamworks . Trying to get enough money to pay my graphic modeler. right not my current price is $500 for my models.

i would have to agree with shadmar. i've noticed in a few libraries that when measuring window height, that measurement also includes the status bar at the bottom of the window, and the window bar at the top of the window. this bar contains the programs name, and the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. i'm not sure if it also includes the few pixels on the sides of the windows (the resize frame).

I'm working on a multiplayer game that allows users to build 'castles' and then destroy your opponents castle. a WIP can be found in the assets store under games then the castle defense game. that was done in LE2. having some issues with models in LE3 but that is the idea of the destructive element of the game.

i agree can i upvote this suggestion...well i just did

well why not a page of all supported file types, even if it is only used to convert from one to another (example GMF is supported to convert GMF to MDL). the list could be a table subdivided to be along the lines of "audio" supported audio type, details/description of the audio type. same for models, textures etc

i'm trying to go for like age of empires how it has a GUI at the bottom of the screen and the top. I'm trying to go for like an overlay layer. How would i go about making an overlay layer for my GUI.

i have the game component and i want to add the GUI component or start on the development. I know how i want it to look. This GUI is going to frame the top and the right edge of the game window. I'm asking what would be a good practice for creating and displaying the GUI.

Hey everyone i'm planning on starting to develop my GUI for my game and I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone have any advice or can point me in the proper direction?

can we use the pre-processor definitions in the shadder to determine if we are compiling for desktop or mobile, like we do in lua or C++?

you need a light source to cast shadows. no light no shadows. No light source, no light in scene to calculate making everything dark. to fix it add a light source, position and rotate it to the desired position. click calculate lights and this should fix your issue

ok so this works fine. now just need to fix my models. time to talk to my modeler.

OK this is very weird, and may be a leadwerks bug. i've created a class which is basically 3 models and functions to control them. in my main loop i load an instance of my class and create another model with the same texture. the collision recognizes fine. I can hide the main model in my custom class. I get an issue when i try to position my second model to the location of the first one i just hid, it moves my ground (the model that the first collided with) to the location instead of the first one. below is my code.

Though i was seeing things. attached is an exe so you can see what it is doing right off the bat for some reason, i think that my custom object data is being over written by the collision function. memory bleed over. It seams that in my custom object when i cast entity0 to mBlock, Full stays the same then P1 becomes the ground. The P2 and P3 are both 'forgotten'

why does Leadwerks need my SSN? not so sure i like that :/

So i was looking through the assets store and saw a few things that you pay to download. when attempting to update/post a new item, i didn't see where i set a price. So here comes my question, how do i set a price for an item in the assets store?

well with greenlight you have access to steamworks which in turn has networking support built in. Just as an idea, could leadwerks incorporate steamworks networking support or the source SDK networking support although that can turn into a legal mess. Prob be better for leadwerks users here to get a greenlight account and integrate it themselves. Just some ideas i'm throwing out...

@panz3r just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. Just b/c LE3 doesn't directly have a networking lib built in doesn't mean you can't link your own. I want to make sure i get this right. i gathered that you want an external lib because you don't know how the mobile platform handles sockets like how to set them up and listen for messages? if that is the case i'm going to think out loud. TCP/IP and UDP are industry standards, because they are industry standards that allows them to connect to any WIFI, communicate with the WIFI hotspot, send TCP/IP web requests on port 80 receive the incoming packets on what ever port was decided on the TCP/IP handshaking that was done. So with that logic, i don't see why networking on the mobile will be any different than networking on a desktop. Now if you really wanted to know (as i did no research for this) then you can always google iOS/Android Network protocols, API or something along those lines. EDIT: here is the link for iOS documentation in its entirety. There is a topic on the left hand side called "networking" I have used apples documentation and they do include code samples for the topics they are explaining. https://developer.ap...tion/index.html

I'm assuming that those who already own the engine, we will automatically get the steam support options. Am i assuming correctly Josh? EDIT: Just read the announcement on steam. Every make sure to set your steam ID in your werkspace to help facilitate Josh getting LE3 steam to current customers.

linux support a possibility in the future...I called it a few months back
