Nice of you to write a tutorial about this. I see you are exporting via FBX, are these settings not affected with the official exporter?

Physics probably just freaked out and pushed the player with hard force against another object. The impact force in the players collision function measures the impact speed and applies damage.

Yes betrayer has this too. I liked that game a lot. Really liked the atmosphere. The reason I sat down and started looking in to shaders was because of your post about the grass shader. I was sitting in the train going back home when a broken switch caused the train to stand still for 30 minutes. Opened up my laptop and pressed that 'new shader' button for the first time ever.

I think this is hardcoded by the radius of the character controller to calculate wall offsets.

Those are the same barrels but with a yellow texture.

Baby steps...sure. I feel like I just started programming again. But finally sat down to make my own shader. I was going for a Shindlers list kind of style were you have a greyscaled view with only red colors in their original color.

Unfortunately yes.

I would recommend a playthrough of the game marble blast ultra. That is the game that got me looking in to game engines. Levels start of with some easy CSG brush jumping and rolling. Later on things get more advanced.

Thanks Josh

We have seen it many many times on the forum: People are linking a CSG bursh to another entity script, but the script fails on startup because the linked in entity is nil. The reason: the CSG brush does not have mass or an entity script attached and is being collapsed at the start of the scene for performance. http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/15761-entity-gets-has-stopped-working-error/ This 'collapsing' has caused a lot of headache for a lot of people. People often don't know that CSG collapses when the scene starts and what the result of this is. Also, the workaround for setting a mass or attaching a script is still unknown by a lot of people. Since people are not aware of the technical reason of the CSG collapsing, I would say, make sure that linked CSG brushes are not collapsed. Even if they do not contain a script or have a mass.

See Ricks answer in this post. Somewhere in the bottom he also mentions this. http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/13941-scenes-and-stuff/page__hl__chop%20tree#entry96038

And what does: pickinfo.entity:SetColor(1,0,0)? Does it paint the tree red?

It might be possible that since you are using the vegetation system, the trees are not common entities. Placing trees by hand via the asset tree, will probably resolve that issue but has the down side of custom tree management.

although an impressive sight, this is exactly the reason I don't use flowgraph. Without any organising options, it just becomes maddness. Try and work together with level designers, becomes far too complicated.

Well you could print its content to the output screen. You could retrieve its position, see if that is correct: pickinfo.entity:GetPosition() You can also enter debug mode (f5) and see what the content is. Ofcourse you need to set a breakpoint

What is the content of the pickinfo,entity when you pick a tree? If it is a normal entity, you can use all the normal entity API functions.

Haven't tested it, but I assume you send a raycast from your player or camera. Although I don't know if you get the actual entity with the vegatation system.

oh? The item has been removed because it violates steam policy. Not sure why or how long this has been the case.

Flowgraph could be really powerfull but I don't use it for all the reason mentioned by olby in the link he provided. A scene like the AI example already fills up the entire screen. This should go into some sort of layer so that you don't lose overview. Lets say, that after you go down the elevator a new portion of the level begins, you would that logic in to a separate layer. Grouping items with a label and colored background could aid in this proces..

it is probably not the same model/texture, but you can also use this one: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=261126240 from the zone project.

Could you provide a link to the item you are talking about? I am assume you mean the red/yellow train with the leadwerks logo on it?

Particles are still an underappriciated thing in Leadwerks while the API lets you create pretty powerfull stuff. This is one of those things were I would love to have access to some sort of plugin manager. That way the community could extend the editor with a particle editor with complexer design. I do remember that tool, worked really nice. I hope to cover some tutorials about this stuff sooner than later.

Thanks for the feedback. I can add in an option for that. But you can also change sensitivity in the options menu.

Tried and tested many software packages throughout the years. Here are some of them: Fraps Camtasia Camstudio OBS open broadcaster software Nvidia Shadowplay Fraps is really good when recording ingame, but not for desktop recording. Big downside is the conversion process/time, even when using a batch file. Nvidia Shadowplay is a very good replacement, and with my new graphicscard it functions really well. OBS works really well since you can record separate streams for both audio and video. However, you do need an additional video editor. Camtasia works fine, but a powerfull tool like Sony vegas or Openshot is even better. Vegas is expensive for just some basic editing though. Camstudio is too limited in functionality for me to be useful. I have a license for Camtasia 8, which is also still my number 1 solution when it comes to most useful tools and good production time. Will check it out. Thanks
