[GUI HUD creator]

Hey all,

 

I was looking around the game creators site, and I found a GUI image creator.

I am not sure exactly what it is like but is worth checking out.

Aha thanks. I'll convert this to cpp and see if it works.

[Abstract Camera movement]

Hey all,

 

I had a quick question about a technique used in quite a lot of games that I want to have a go at adding to mine. And that is abstract camera movement. Much like a person's head moving around to make it more realistic.

 

Now any suggestions on this? I have seen a few people around here achieve it. One person is franck22000, with his video in this post - http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/4712-shadows-artifacts/

 

Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Wow! Looks really great!

Quick question, what weapons will you have on the first level? I am making a rough sketch of the subway layout, and I need an idea of where to put the weapons.

[LE Community Project]

Where is the list of everyone who has already joined? If I won't be able to do too much. But I can help a little bit. It's always been a personal goal of mine to develop a game with Rick and Aggror some day. Seeing as 50% of all coding I learned from them. So I'll join, but I don't think I'll be one of your main guys.

 

For someone who was so pesamistic, it's strange that you would want anything to do with it...

Yep

And I still kinda think it should be a post apocalyptic shooter :/ I like that idea because it is original, but if we do something like a horror game or a full on fps game, we would be constantly comparing to things like amnesia or call of duty..

 

 

PS: should I go ahead and make a google docs project?

[Community Project?]

I like that idea DigitalHax. The only thing I would like to add to that is that we make use of the most powerfull features off LE:

• Large terrain
  
• Outdoor
  
• Dynamic weather, night/day cycle (Lighting)
  
• Rich vegetation
  

Inspiration sources:

• Book of Eli (movie)
  
• The last road
  
• Rage ()
  
• Fallout ()
  

Also agreeing with Flexman. Walking and shooting people would be a nice start.

 

 

You are just reading my mind That about sums up everything I had to say.

 

and add to that features list, a simple hunger/thirst system would be good.

How about a post apocalyptic survival adventure game? Something like in "The Book Of ELI" With a destroyed civilization and few people left. A bit like fallout but subtly different.

 

Not too many characters. Maybe only the main character and a few other travelers you meet along the way.

[Community Project?]

How about a future fps sorta like Unreal Tournament. (but less ridiculous )

[Community Project?]

Not sure yet. I guess that is the next big question. What will the game be?

[Community Project?]

Ok... Good point. Do you at least support it josh?

[Community Project?]

In my opinion, you need a project plan and a manager that assigns tasks, verifies outputs, and holds contributors accountable and on schedule. I don't think the project manager should even try to do anything else but manage it.

 

But the million dollar question is, would YOU be a part of it?

[Community Project?]

Well it doesn't neccisarily have to be everyone. It could just be with someone in each general field. With about 5 or so people it could work fairly well. I guess development teams have to start somewhere eh.

Would you like to see a leadwerks community project?

[Turning]

I use mouse X movement.

[Turning]

Hmm... That might work.

But im a bit of a noob to stuff involving timing in LE. :/ What sort of code could I use for a frame check?

[Turning]

Hey, I am currently trying to sort out animation for my character, and I need a way of letting the animator know that the player is turning.

 

Here is my code -

 

TVec3 PivotRotation=Vec3(0);
 //Camera looking
 mx=Curve(MouseX()-GraphicsWidth()/2,mx,6);
 my=Curve(MouseY()-GraphicsHeight()/2,my,6);
 dx=Curve(MouseX()-GraphicsWidth()/2,dx,28);
 dy=Curve(MouseY()-GraphicsHeight()/2,dy,28);
 MoveMouse(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2);
 camrotation.X=camrotation.X+my/10.0;
 camrotation.Y=camrotation.Y-mx/10.0;
 cam2rotation.X=cam2rotation.X+dy/10.0;
 cam2rotation.Y=cam2rotation.Y-dx/10.0;
 RotateEntity(pivot,camrotation);

 RotateEntity(campivot,Vec3(camrotation.X,camrotation.Y,0));
 EntityParent(camera,campivot);
 PositionEntity(mesh,EntityPosition(player));

 

So any suggestions on how I can specify if it is turning?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

[Two physics related questions]

Not a problem Always happy to help!

 

 

 

I use this technique quite a lot in my coding. Especially in player controllers.

[Two physics related questions]

You could always have a physics object that hits the ground, have a separate coin mesh that doesn't have the objects rotation. Only position.
