Yep, that works, Thanks.

I don't seem to be able to remove the 'Frames per Second stats' from this code. Usually it is with the SetStats Framework command but I can find no sign of it here or in the 'require' scripts. Has anyone located it?

January 3, 2010

Yes, That works. FlushKeys() eh. I'm slowly picking up bits of Lua. Thanks Mack.

January 3, 2010

This is Great. I'm wondering how to turn it on and off. I've included it in a simple scene in which I move around. When I hit the tilde button the console appears but has lots of wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwws in it. Hence my query. How to turn it on only when the Tilde button is pressed.

Editor and Lua Engine images..

January 2, 2010

Just updated... No heathaze in the Editor or Lua, sky is default though I changed it in the Editor.

January 1, 2010

Nor I.. All the best guys

I think this is something for Josh to put right. He is often telling potential customers to go the Lua way, so if they do then there needs to be 'seamless compatibility' between the Editor and the Lua Engine. Workarounds can only achieve so much and they often lead to complications. It's great that we have got this far but I don't think it's time to get too confident yet.

It didn't even occur to me that IE7 may be the issue. So many people use it. I'll try Google Chrome for a while and see if it suites me. If not I'll try IE8 or Firefox etc.

December 31, 2009

Good point, Internet Explorer 7.

I just downloaded Google Chrome and copy and paste between code tags formats with it. So I guess I'll be using Google Chrome in the future. Thanks. However don't expect my code to be always indented, I actually prefer it nice and neat against the left hand margin. Easier to read.

December 31, 2009

I'm glad you brought that up. What I find is that code in code tags on this forum doesn't copy and paste with wordwrap ie. it pastes as one long line and takes forever to format, (please explain how to do it if I'm incorrect). So I figure I'm making life easier for people by putting my code in quotes which does paste with wordwrap (formatiing). Also, indentation is not a requirement of coding, it is only a preference by some.

December 31, 2009

Yes, emitters don't seem to be working.

As the Framework is now accessible with Lua outside of the editor, I've revisited my fpcontroller code.. I can load a scene and look around with mouselook but am unable to move.. can someone tell me why..

At last, I'm able to access the Framewerk with Lua. Looking forward to the docs Josh.

Compiler Error.."Can't find interface for module 'lugi.generator'"

December 30, 2009

CharacterFX has been unsupported for years.

I suggest milkshape3d. At $35 it's a great way to begin modelling animating and rigging, is easy to use, has a large forum and regular updates.

I've been trying to get mouselook and mousemovment working with the following piece of Lua code. It loads a scene outside of the Leadwerks Editor using the Lua Engine.

require("Scripts/constants/keycodes")
require("Scripts/constants/collision_const")

require("Scripts/constants/engine_const")

require("Scripts/LinkedList")

require("Scripts/filesystem")

require("Scripts/math/math")

--Register abstract path

RegisterAbstractPath("")

--Set graphics mode

if Graphics(1024,768)==0 then

Notify("Failed to set graphics mode.",1)

return

end

world=CreateWorld()

if world==nil then

Notify("Failed to initialize engine.",1)

return

end

gbuffer=CreateBuffer(GraphicsWidth(),GraphicsHeight(),1+2+4+8)

camera=CreateCamera()

camera:SetPosition(Vec3(37,1,-14))

scene=LoadScene("abstract::train.sbx")

while AppTerminate()==0 do

UpdateAppTime()

world:Update(AppSpeed())

SetBuffer(gbuffer)

world:Render()

SetBuffer(BackBuffer())

world:RenderLights(gbuffer)

if KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)==1 then break end

if KeyHit(KEY_T)==1 then camera:SetPosition(Vec3(30,1,-14)) end

DrawText(UPS(),0,0)

Flip(0)

end

As soon as I add a controller I get the errors occur..

end

I know there is more code to add in the loop. But it doesn't even like the variables.

December 28, 2009

I'll dig out the code and start a new thread.

December 28, 2009

Well, I've spent quite a bit of time trying to get it going outside of the Editor, without success. 'Exception_access_violation' seems to be the most common error.

Lumooja,

Yes, I spent some time on that bit of code but as you said in that post, there were errors.

December 28, 2009

I'd be grateful if you or someone could post some simple fpcontroller code that works with the Lua Engine..

December 26, 2009

That works, well solved Lumooga.

December 26, 2009

Thats it, since the 2.3 editor came out there has been a serious shudder, flicker and disrupted image when looking at the camera's highest point, using the standard fpscontroller.lua script. That's in Editing and game mode. Anyone else noticed this and know how to remedy it?

December 22, 2009

To be fair, he wasn't using a demo. He freely admitted that he stole the software. Let's not romaticize it by calling it pirating. Let's call it for what it is: stealing. But the problem is everyone has this opinion that since software isn't a tangible thing and they are just downloading it from the internet, that its not stealing. But of course it is. Its just harder to police software than a physical object. But I see absolutely no difference in pirating the software and someone stealing $200 out of Josh's wallet. There is no rationalization that is defendable for stealing someone else's property, whether it be a tv, software, or a turkey sandwich. It's stealing pure and simple.

Just re-read what 'mikedee' actually said and you are right he does indicate that he has an illegal version of the software. Unacceptable. However, the notion of 'stealing $200 out of Josh's wallet' is debatable and an argument I've heard many times in the past about software 'piracy'. It implies that someone would be compelled to purchase the software were they not able to acquire it for nothing. That doesn't stack up. At most Josh has lost a potential customer and even that may not be the case because 'mikedee' has indicated that he will buy the LE. after a suitable evaluation period. There has been no theft of money from Josh's wallet because the money was never put there in the first place.

Dead Marley,

That's a different sort of different.
