[SetbodyForce etc???]

They will be useful If physics is a part of gameplay.

 

Examples:

1. Picking up and levitating (carrying) crates.

2. Pushing (shooting) cannonball.

3. Kicking the ball in football /baseball / tennis.

4. Imitation of the blast wave.

5. Moving parts of machinery.

And so on...

[Entity cull time question to Josh]

Culling = determining what objects need to be rendered.

Drawing = rendering them.

Can drawing be faster then culling? If we have a lot of simple entities in complex scene. Can we get acceleration with disabled culling?

[What's that ring?]

TLight light = FindChild( myScene, "myLight" );

 

Is that actually light source or some entity like light_directional.gmf?

 

You can't use SetShadowmapSize() with light_directional.gmf.

Use SetEntityKey() instead:

SetEntityKey(light, "shadowresolution", "1")

[C++ or Lua?]

C++ or LUA?

 

I use LUA for prototyping and testing features.

- It's simpler than C++;

- You don't need to compile anything or run any external IDE;

- It works inside Leadwerks Editor (you can play around with it);

- You can edit LUA-script on fly and see result immediately;

- You can easily include or exclude any features (on fly).

 

But for production it's good to implement resource consuming parts in C++.
