The clock isn't restarting because the script is calling Time:GetCurrent(). When you change maps the application doesn't restart, so it's counting the application running time. So what you need is Time:GetSpeed(). That's probably a better way to do a timer anyway. Script.font = "" -- path "Font" -- use TrueType font file Script.pos = Vec2(0,30) -- Vec2 "Position" Script.size = 15 -- float "Size" Script.color = Vec4(1,1,0,1) -- color "Color" Script.offset = 20 -- int "Offset" -- make larger if numbers get cut off Script.countSpeed = 0.05 -- float "Count Speed" (smaller is slower) Script.time = 0 function Script:Start() self.font = Font:Load(self.font,self.size) if self.font == nil then Debug:Error("Select a font") end end function Script:UpdateWorld() self.counter = Time:GetSpeed() * self.countSpeed self.time = self.time + self.counter end function Script:PostRender(context) defaultFont = context:GetFont() r = self.size + self.offset w = self.pos.x + window:GetWidth()/2 - self.offset h = self.pos.y context:SetBlendMode(1) context:SetColor(self.color) context:SetFont(self.font) context:DrawText(Math:Round(self.time),w,h,r,r,Text.VCenter+Text.Center) context:SetFont(defaultFont) end Not sure what you mean by the font sizes. You want to change the font in the gui?

I would try something like: function Script:UpdateWorld() If window:KeyHit(Key.A) then changemapname=self.mapname end Here's the triggerChangeMap script. --[[ This script will act as a trigger to change the current map. Place this at the end of your map to make the player progress to the next level. ]]-- Script.mapname=""--string "Map Name" function Script:Start() self.enabled=true end function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed) changemapname=self.mapname end function Script:Enable()--in if self.enabled==false then self.enabled=true self:CallOutputs("Enable") end end function Script:Disable()--in if self.enabled then self.enabled=false self:CallOutputs("Disable") end end

Yeah Macklebee is pretty good. I fiddled with this script for a long time. Here's this as a circular minimap. You can just drop the prefab in your scene to see it working. basic minimap.zip

You can also change the terrain quality in-game. If you start your game then hit Esc you can adjust terrain quality in options.

Did you try unchecking the mipmaps box in the diffuse texture editor?

Did you try unchecking the mipmaps box in the diffuse texture editor?

One thing about this I've noticed is the flashlight doesn't evenly light the ground in 360 degrees. If I change "nmat" in the vertex shader from: //Sky mat3 nmat = mat3(camerainversematrix); //inverse sky on model stays in place ex_normal = normalize(nmat * vertex_normal); ex_tangent = normalize(nmat * vertex_tangent); ex_binormal = normalize(nmat * vertex_binormal); ...to this, the flashlight works correctly but the sky reflection doesn't. //Flashlight //mat3 nmat = mat3(entitymatrix); //flashlight works 360 //ex_normal = normalize(nmat * vertex_normal); //ex_tangent = normalize(nmat * vertex_tangent); //ex_binormal = normalize(nmat * vertex_binormal); I tried a few things including using an "if" statement but haven't been able to solve this. If anyone's already figured this out I'd like a solution. It's not too much of a big deal. It just irks me.

They're kind of stretching long on the x-axis so you can go in the shader and find this line (around line 49): vec2 spec_texcoords0 = ex_texcoords0/(vec2(puddlesize)); ...and change it to this: vec2 spec_texcoords0 = ex_texcoords0/(vec2(puddlesize/2,puddlesize)); That seems to have squared them up.

Bepuddled terrain effect. I was able to put this together based on an old Shadmar shader I began fiddling with, but it's different enough that I didn't feel the need to credit him so I did it here. *credits Shadmar* Make a box and attach the waterterrain.lua script to it. Then drag the player into the "Player" slot of the script so it can access the camera. That's it. (Also don't forget to have a skybox set) Some settings considerations: It looks better on darker terrains so I set the diffuse color to about half, put the specular all the way up and set roughness to 0.0 in the Material Editor. Terrains tend to look darker when wet anyway. Diffuse texture is set to uncompressed with mipmaps because it's so large. Textures should be set up as shown below. Water Terrain.zip

Ok it looks like I had to put this line : Context:SetCurrent(self.context) ...in the PostRender() function. It was initially in the UpdateWorld() function. That seems to have resolved that. But now it's still happening to this crawler. He sort of "smudges" as I turn. What's causing this?

I've been messing around with this Shadmar shader and is there any way to keep my PostRender() items from showing up in the water model? Do I need to clear a buffer somewhere or what? It seems to have something to do with the refraction texture in the shader but I don't even know how I would start to approach this. What's happening here?

Yeah, man. That's a little quirk in the system that I guess Josh never got around to straightening out. Go to Scripts folder, and find "Main.lua". Open that and look for this: if gamemenu:Hidden() then --Update the app timing Time:Update() --Update the world world:Update() end --Render the world world:Render() ...then right before "world:Render()" add this line: gamemenu.gui:GetBase():Redraw()

Yeah put a pivot in the scene and attach the script to the pivot. The pivot can be anywhere on the map. It doesn't matter because the PostRender() stuff will show up in the same place on screen regardless.

Script.font = "" -- path "Font" -- use TrueType font file Script.pos = Vec2(0,30) -- Vec2 "Position" Script.size = 15 -- float "Size" Script.color = Vec4(1,1,0,1) -- color "Color" Script.offset = 20 -- int "Offset" -- make larger if numbers get cut off function Script:Start() self.font = Font:Load(self.font,self.size) if self.font == nil then Debug:Error("Select a font") end end function Script:PostRender(context) defaultFont = context:GetFont() r = self.size + self.offset w = self.pos.x + window:GetWidth()/2 - self.offset h = self.pos.y --time factor time = Time:GetCurrent()/1000 context:SetBlendMode(1) context:SetColor(self.color) context:SetFont(self.font) context:DrawText(Math:Round(time),w,h,r,r,Text.VCenter+Text.Center) context:SetFont(defaultFont) end

What are you trying to do, more specifically?

Would be cool if we could add a specular texture on the new terrain so as to get that after rain look or add oil spots etc.

You might want to post the script where this error is occurring so people can look through it for themselves. It's difficult to see what the number comparing with nil is: attemp to compare number with nil Line 8 If you're using my pickup script from above I might have changed something and that might be a different error. I would troubleshoot it by making sure that: 1. Maybe in your player script, under the Start() function you want to add: self.entity:SetKeyValue("type","player") 2. Your gun script has these at the top somewhere: Script.clipsize=6--int "Clip size" Script.ammo=200--int "Ammunition" Script.maxammo = 200 -- int "Max Ammo" 3.

Shadmar made a shader for metals in the workshop that might work. He used substance painter, too, I believe. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=658772226&searchtext=

Thanks for the help, man. I'll probably not do the onAttacked thing. I can't get it to work and that was just like an extra thing anyway. I'm definitely going to study this though and see if I can make it do more stuff. I just need to keep improving my understanding of the thinking behind it. Peace.

Ok so if I do it like this I can get the others to attack, so it appears that the player is somewhere connected to this script. I just removed the "if" statement and told it to set mode to attack: function Script:onAttacked(data) System:Print("Yeah it's calling this function") self.target = data.player self:SetMode("attack") end Here on the raise event we're calling the self.entity:GetPosition as the crawler who is being shot, right? RaiseEvent("onAttacked", { hurtMonsterPosition = self.entity:GetPosition(), player = distributorOfPain}) ...and later in the "if" statement "data.hurtMonsterPosition" is itself from above. So we're telling it to get the distance from itself to itself? if data.hurtMonsterPosition:GetDistance(self.entity:GetPosition(),false) < 1000 then

Ok. Yeah, that works. It does the System:Print(). But it still doesn't appear to be alerting the other crawlers next to it. It seems to have also solved that issue with getting an error when the crawler is beyond the pick range for health. I appreciate your help with this, man. I wish I could be more useful but this is all new to me. It's probably something on my end at this point but I don't even know where to look. I noticed in the onDead event I had to write "self.kills = self.kills +1" in the enemyDied(data) function, but also you put " subId = subId + 1" in the SubscribeEvent(eventName, script, func). Does it need something like that again? My best guess is its in the function itself? This is the function currently. Maybe it's one of these true/false things? or I changed the distance to 500 just for testing but don't know if that would do anything. function Script:onAttacked(data) System:Print("Yeah it's calling this function") -- I don't recall if this is the correct syntax for distance checks but it gets the idea across. you'll have to research distance checks. if data.hurtMonsterPosition:GetDistance(self.entity:GetPosition(true),false) < 500 then -- if this monster is in a given range of the monster that was attacked then assign this monster the player target as well and it'll come running towards it! self.target = data.player end end

I figured out that if I raise the event under within the health > 0 statement I don't get that error, but it still doesn't reach the onAttacked function, as the System:Print() doesn't do anything. if self.health>0 then if self.target==nil then RaiseEvent("onAttacked", { hurtMonsterPosition = self.entity:GetPosition(), player = distributorOfPain}) self.target=distributorOfPain self:SetMode("attack") end Having it like this seemed to let things run smoothly and then for no reason eventually I would get that error. But that appears to be only when I shoot an enemy from so far away that the pick isn't grabbing their name (and health). Since I put the enemy name in the onDead loop maybe that's giving me that error?
