In the editor its the 2nd button down under File.

[Hidden entity cast shadows.]

If you give a model dynamic shadows and then use self.entity:Hide() the shadow is still cast.

[Using Shadows, possible bug]

Copied the Shaders folder and it works, knew it was something simple, thanks.

 

Hidden entities do cast shadows though.

 

Had to google croc, I think I remember playing a demo,

 

I have ended up knocking togeather a small demo level by accident just by learning Lua. I will upload after the weekend, not Croc gameplay but I think you might have inspired me.

[Using Shadows, possible bug]

Shadows appear as squares, I would imagine something simple I need to do.

 

Also I have a hidden entity that casts a shadow still as in the picture, possible bug.

[fbx import]

Have you gone into the model Editor to set your animation sequence or cant you see the animations in the Editor?

 

Are your textures in a compatible format and have you generated a mat file? right click on your tex file and click generate mat.

[Character drops through moving platform after last update.]

Sorted it, I noticed the moving platforms were set as Character controller in the properties editor. I changed this to rigid body and know it works as before.

Before the update it worked with character controller.

[Character drops through moving platform after last update.]

I have characters in game that step across a moving platform, after I updated and compiled through Visual Studio the characters now drop through the moving platform.

 

Did something change with physics that could make this happen?

[how tall is the barbarian dude? Game units question]

Being able to scale your models in the editor in feet/inches or metric is great.

[[solved] Can no longer compile]

You need to open up your project in visual studio (even if its a lua project) and compile under debug and release. You should be good to go after that.

[Functions in LUA]

Sorted, studied the code bit by bit and and read the the explanation of the

EnemyAttackForEachEntityInAABBDoCallback(entity,extra)

by Chris Vossen in a past thread, another hurdle is overcome.

[Functions in LUA]

Just trying to understand using functions between Scripts.

 

Code is taken from Darkness Awaits but cut down a bit.

 

self:AttackEnemy() is called in the goblin Script.

 

but I get attempt to index local 'Newplayer' (a nil value)

 

 

In Newplayer Script I have

function Script:TakeDamage(damage)
if self.Health>0 then
 self.Health = self.Health - damage
end
end

 

in Goblin Script I have

function Script:AttackEnemy(Newplayer)
local entitypos = Newplayer.entity:GetPosition(true)
local pos = Transform:Point(entitypos.x,entitypos.y,entitypos.z,nil,self.entity)
pos = pos * self.entity:GetScale()
pos.z = pos.z * -1
if pos.z>0 and pos.z<self.attackRange then
 if pos.z>math.abs(pos.x) then
  Newplayer:TakeDamage(10)
end  end
end

Just scored 240, I was in the Zone.

[Lua properties bug: selecting entity]

Script.mode= "Happy,Angry,Sad,Thoughtful" --choice

 

Tested it, I think that does it. Docs will need changing.

[Lua properties bug: selecting entity]

3rd one down, I should have looked harder.

[Recent Status Updates moved]

Until Yesterday Recent status Updates you to show on right hand side of the forum. Is their a user setting to move it back?

Nothing major but used to looking at updates while checking the forum. Now have to go to community or Portal.

[sky box]

Thanks, that works great.

[Lua properties bug: selecting entity]

Script.first = nil--Entity "first"

Is that what your looking for?

Where first is the name of the entity.

[LE3 Physics AddForce]

Have tried all 3 and turning gravity off but no luck.

 

I'm Adding force all the time, think I have this one figured out, will try to sort it out tomorrow.

[LE3 Physics AddForce]

In a Lua script i add force to an object, I can change the amount of force but if the object slows down to a stop I cant get it to move again.

 

as an example in the update Physics bit

if self.speed ==1 then self.entity:AddForce(0,0,1.0,true) end
if self.speed ==2 then self.entity:AddForce(0,0,1.5,true) end
if self.speed ==3 then self.entity:AddForce(0,0,2.0,true)end

 

so if the variable ever goes to 1, the object wont move again if you then change the variable 2 or 3.

 

not done much with Physics so any help appreciated.

[Intro & Queries]

I have moving environmental objects and the navmesh works fine, changing as the blocks move etc.

[Shortcut for Script Editor]

A shortcut key like F1 would be good. Right clicking in the asset browser is fine I just have some keys on my keyboard that I want a use for.

[Shortcut for Script Editor]

Is there a shortcut key to open the Script Editor?

[[LE3] Useful scripts]

Theres a DistanceToPoint command, e.g. self.distone = self.position:DistanceToPoint( self.target5:GetPosition(true) )

[LeadWerks forum split LE 2 - LE 3]

+1 for a sepearate section.

Maybe the money for the game keep for yourself, and make added content with all proceeds for Charity.
