[Player falling "into" floor on move]

All I see is a "My Media" button, but it won't let me upload anything to it. I have no "Add Attachment" button or anything similar, even on "More Reply Options" page...

[Player falling "into" floor on move]

Don't see a way for me to attach any files here, so I uploaded the map + scripts here: http://temp-share.com/show/Pf3m6A8W2

[Player falling "into" floor on move]

Have a player created from a pivot added to my map via the editor with these physics properties set:

 

Physics: Character Controller
Mass: 1.0
Collision: Character

 

And a floor underneath, a box with these physics properties set:

 

Physics: Rigid Body
Shape: Box
Shape size: (Fit Shape)
Mass: 0.0
Collision: Scene

 

When running the game, the player falls a few feet and lands on top of the floor correctly. However, once I move in any direction or rotate greater than +/- 45º or so on the y-axis, the player instantly warps into the floor, moving from a y-position of 0.273252 to 0.001953.

 

Any ideas why?

 

Here's my player script:

 

function Script:Start()
   self.camera = Camera:Create()
   self.camera:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition())
end

function Script:Move()
   local w = window:KeyDown(Key.W) and 1 or 0
   local a = window:KeyDown(Key.A) and 1 or 0
   local s = window:KeyDown(Key.S) and 1 or 0
   local d = window:KeyDown(Key.D) and 1 or 0

   return Vec3(d - a, 0, w - s):Normalize()
end

function Script:Look()
   local mouse = window:GetMousePosition()

   local center = Vec2(context:GetWidth() / 2, context:GetHeight() / 2)
   window:SetMousePosition(center.x, center.y)

   return Vec3(mouse.y - center.y, mouse.x - center.x, 0)
end

function Script:UpdatePhysics()
   local move = self:Move()
   local look = self:Look()

   look   = look + self.camera:GetRotation()
   look.x = Math:Clamp(look.x, -85, 85)

   self.entity:SetInput(look.y, move.z, move.x, move.y)

   self.camera:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition())
   self.camera:SetRotation(look)
end

[30-day trial ended in 2???]

Nope. I'm actually running a fresh copy of Windows on my MacBook through Boot Camp. I just partitioned it on Saturday as well.

 

Installed Windows just for Leadwerks, actually

[30-day trial ended in 2???]

So I just installed the trial on Saturday. Today, when I went to open the editor, it said: "Sorry, but your 30-day trial has expired!"

 

Huh?

[GUI future]

Perhaps try looking into Awesomium? It's a HTML UI engine.

 

Never used it before myself, but it'll likely be the one I try next (since my day job is HTML/JavaScript). Looks extremely easy and powerful to use.

[Access CPP global via Lua?]

Thank you, Josh. Finally got it working! (I had nearly exactly what you wrote before creating this topic, but I placed SetGlobal before PushObject.)

 

bool App::Start() {
   // create window, context, world...

   int stacksize = Interpreter::GetStackSize();
   Interpreter::PushObject(window);
   Interpreter::SetGlobal("window");
   Interpreter::PushObject(context);
   Interpreter::SetGlobal("context");
   Interpreter::PushObject(world);
   Interpreter::SetGlobal("world");
   Interpreter::SetStackSize(stacksize);

   // load map, etc...
}

 

Then, from any script:

 

function Script:Start()
   System:Print(context:GetWidth())
   System:Print(context:GetHeight())
   System:Print(world.gravity) -- prints 0x00000000

   window:ShowMouse()
end

function Script:UpdateWorld()
   if window:KeyDown(Key.D) then
       System:Print("D down")
   end
end

 

This is awesome! And was much easier to do than expected... Only hiccup is that I couldn't seem to access any members of `world`, just its methods. I did, however, figure out you can do it this way instead:

 

Interpreter::PushObject(&world->gravity);
Interpreter::SetGlobal("worldGravity");

 

worldGravity.y = worldGravity.y * -1

[Access CPP global via Lua?]

Yes, I realize this, but I'm not creating the window/world in a script, as is occurring when you start from a Lua project. I need to be able to access the already created window/world (in CPP) via a script.

 

I was thinking I might need to use the `Interpreter` class, but I'm not entirely sure how to.

[Access CPP global via Lua?]

Started with a CPP project, but using Lua for scripted objects. Need to be able to access things like:

 

window->KeyDown
window->SetMousePosition
world->gravity

 

...from within the scripts themselves, even though they are defined in a CPP header file (App.h).

 

How exactly do I access them?
