[Lua tutorials]

Go through all these tutorials by Aggror.

 

Evan though the video's are in C++ they are easy to follow, play around with the code.

 

Lua has a nice learning curve, easier I think than Unity Script.

 

Also Leadwerks has a nice community that will answer many questions.

[Leadwerks Game Tournament 2]

Count me in.

[Game Tournament 2 Poll and feedback]

I think the tournie should last 2 weeks rather than 3, whichever I should be in.

[Leadwerks Game Week Tournament]

Thanks for running the tournament and congrats to Rick for winning the first of hopefully many tournies to come.

 

I hope I don't need to make a speech for 3rd place.

[Game Tournament 2 Poll and feedback]

Maybe Josh can choose the theme.

[Change Script properties in the App file, Lua.]

Thanks I have now got it working and understand Lua that bit more.

 

I initially had the For code in a script which was attached to many entities but then realised that code would be getting called 50 times. So it only needs to be in the App script.

 

I will remember the Lua forum tag, learning new things all the time.

[Change Script properties in the App file, Lua.]

land.script.block is given the final number as in 10 for a = 1,10

 

I need each Land to be given the numbers 1 through 10.

 

Also I need the numbers 1 through 50 by using

for a = 1,10 do

for b = 1,5 do

 

Any ideas?

[Game Tournament 2 Poll and feedback]

The theme 2 days before is good, that way people cant start early. The theme isn't game type just whether its based on the colour green or bouncing for examples. Makes people think.

[Wings 3D and Leadwerks]

Ultimate Unwrap is the way to go, a cracking piece of software.

[Change Script properties in the App file, Lua.]

I think they might be a problem with the second For command, when I set a breakpoint it only shows the second For.

 

If I only put one For in it works but the entities are not in the right position then.

Some math might get rid of the second For!

[Change Script properties in the App file, Lua.]

In the App file I create some instances of a model, I then attach the square Lua file.

In the Lua file there is

Script.block = 0.

How can i change that value using code in the App file, or can you?

 

for  a =1,10 do
for  b =1,10 do
land = tolua.cast(land:Instance(),"Model")
land:SetScript("Scripts/Player/square.lua")
land:SetPosition(a,0,B)
land.block = land.block + 1 -- this does not do it
end end

 

Can someone set me straight.

[Leadwerks Game Week Tournament]

I know its late but here's a exe as well as the vid, with only a basic level, very little coding and none of the game play and/or map creation I wanted to add I did not think it was worth putting up.

 

I encourage people to join the next tournie, it does you a lot of motivation.

[How may boxes can you collide on your gear?]

Frames start dropping after 240 ish.

 

can never have too many oildrums.

[Leadwerks Game Week Tournament]

I did start on two different projects, didn't finish either one, let that be a lesson. I must admit I had very little time this week.

Anyway I thought I would show a vid of my projects. First part is my second project, in theory you are a tank being chased by enemy tanks. You get pick-ups and both tanks can fire.

The second part is a defender type. Both are basic.

 

[Leadwerks Game Week Tournament]

Two great little demo/games. Sorry not managed to produce anything myself.

[shoot with physics]

Maybe set gravity to false.

[Leadwerks Game Week Tournament]

I'm in, wont be much but it will be more than nothing

[Steam sales addiction]

Me too, though I have only bought Don't Starve and System Shock 2 this time. So far.

 

I have made .36p from selling some badges though.

[Parenting in editor?]

Your right, no movement with two objects.

[Parenting in editor?]

No, the child should move as well. I attached a camera to a model and it works, or it could be a model to camera!

[The suggestions forum]

I'm another that agrees with Aggror. I think people like to get involved with the direction LE3 takes and see more information about what is being added, getting fixed or improved.

Rastar's idea sounds good.

[Collision with particular object?]

Just had a look, if my character is a box built in the editor it stops, if its a model from an external source it goes through.

 

Set it to collision trigger it works. Basic code in the payer folder but working example.

[Collision with particular object?]

On my map my character passes through, still picks up the collision. i have the stationary object change colour when collision occurs.

[Collision with particular object?]

Have you unchecked navmesh. also on the stationary object I have collision type as Prop with no mass.

[Collision with particular object?]

After playing around I think I understand, basically though if we could add custom collision types under the Physics tab that would help.
