[How to develop with Leadwerks and more then one person?]

Learn git or subversion. They are way more flexible and you get to keep the history of what you do and you will also get conflict handling etc.

[Walk through walls]

I got it to work now =)

 

function Script:Start()
   --Player movement speed
   self.moveSpeed = 0.2
   -- Camera distance from player
   self.camDist = 10
   -- Create camera and position it
   local camPos = self.entity:GetPosition(true)
   self.cam = Camera:Create()
   camPos.y = self.camDist
   self.cam:Move(camPos)
   self.cam:SetRotation(90,0,0)
end
function Script:UpdatePhysics()
   local window = Window:GetCurrent()
   local context = Context:GetCurrent()
   -- Player keyboard input
   local xMod = 0;
   if window:KeyDown(Key.D) then
       xMod = 1 * Time:GetSpeed() * self.moveSpeed
   elseif window:KeyDown(Key.A) then
       xMod = -1 * Time:GetSpeed() * self.moveSpeed
   end
   local zMod = 0
   if window:KeyDown(Key.W) then
       zMod = 1 * Time:GetSpeed() * self.moveSpeed
   elseif window:KeyDown(Key.S) then
       zMod = -1 * Time:GetSpeed() * self.moveSpeed
   end
   -- Move player
   local curr = self.entity:GetPosition(true)
   curr.x = curr.x + xMod
   curr.z = curr.z + zMod
   self.entity:SetPosition(curr, true)
   -- Move camera
   curr.y = self.camDist
   self.cam:SetPosition(curr, true)
end

 

I did some other changes. Like not creating my player Entity (a box) in code (for now). And I changed the physics mode to "Character Controller" (the Collition type is "Character" also but I do not think that maters for the problems I had).

 

I also moved all code from App.lua to it's own script that is attached to the player Entity.

[Prefab: Water shader for Leadwerks 3.1 Steam Ed. 1.00]

Thanks Shadmar!

[Walk through walls]

Ok, added this to App.lua

 

function App:UpdatePhysics()
   System:Print("Hook 1")
   local curr = self.cone:GetPosition(true)
   curr.y = self.camDist
   self.cam:SetPosition(curr, true)
end

 

According to the Scripts reference: "This function will be called once per physics step."

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/script-reference/

 

However it looks like it is never called. What am I missing?

[Walk through walls]

Ahhha I probably need to do my things in Entity::UpdatePhysicsHook and Entity::UpdateHook() to get things smooth:

 

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/command-reference/entity/entityupdatephysicshook-r62

 

How do I set a Hook on a Entity?

[Walk through walls]

Thanks Aggror and cassius

 

Tried PhysicsSetPosition() and added physics type Entity.RigidBodyPhysics and mass 1. Now it works but the movement is not very smoth like when I used SetPosition. I need to trim this

[Walk through walls]

Hello

 

I like Leadwerks ... and have a lot fun with it ... however

 

I am playing around with the Steam Leadwerks (Lua) and try to make a simple "top down shooter". I have watched some tutorials and I thought I did this right.

 

I create my player (currently a cone) like this:

 

--Player
self.coneMat = Material:Load("Materials/Developer/greengrid.mat")
self.cone = Model:Cone()
self.cone:SetMaterial(self.coneMat)
self.cone:SetPosition(0,1.75,0)
self.cone:SetRotation(90,0,0)
local shape = Shape:Cone(0,0,0, 0,0,0, 1,1,1)
self.cone:SetShape(shape)

--Player movement speed
self.moveSpeed = 0.1

 

 

I have created a floor and 4 walls in the editor and the walls have "Physics mode : Rigid Body" and a shape size that corresponds to the wall size (used the "Fit Shape" button in the Physics tab).

 

The player movement code looks like this:

-- Player movement
local xMod = 0;
if self.window:KeyDown(Key.D) then
   xMod = 1 * Time:GetSpeed() * self.moveSpeed
elseif self.window:KeyDown(Key.A) then
   xMod = -1 * Time:GetSpeed() * self.moveSpeed
end

local zMod = 0
if self.window:KeyDown(Key.W) then
   zMod = 1 * Time:GetSpeed() * self.moveSpeed
elseif self.window:KeyDown(Key.S) then
   zMod = -1 * Time:GetSpeed() * self.moveSpeed
end

local curr = self.cone:GetPosition(true)
curr.x = curr.x + xMod
curr.z = curr.z + zMod
self.cone:SetPosition(curr, true)

curr = self.cam:GetPosition(true)
curr.x = curr.x + xMod
curr.z = curr.z + zMod
self.cam:SetPosition(curr, true)

 

The cone go through the walls. What am I doing wrong?

[Indie Edition Steam Release]

I see your now listed as a "backer" rather than member - how did you swing that?

 

(also a "pro" level KS backer)

I would like to know also.

 

As I remembered, I registered with the same email that I use on KS and mailed admin that I am a backer.

[Indie Edition Steam Release]

Now when the steam release is done, as a KS Pro level backer will I be able to see the rest of the forum soon?

Haha INSTALLING!!!!!

Thanks

[Any Leadwerks games on google play?]

I just bought a Nexus 7 and I want to test it out. Are there any Leadwerks based games you know of on Google play that you can recommend?

 

Thank you

[KS Update #40 - Icons]

Thank you, but the big challenge is to use the standard system icons when possible, and use icons designed to fit the same theme when there is not a standard system icon for the item. I mean, I doubt Ubuntu has a standard "rotate the selected object around the Y axis" icon.

 

Ahhhha ok

[KS Update #39 - Questions]

The exact numbers will depend on your hardware, but it's very efficient at rendering instanced geometry like that. 10,000 on camera might be too many, but with distance and frustum culling that could definitely be done.

 

Cool, that was exactly the answer I was looking for

[KS Update #39 - Questions]

Hello

 

Grate update

 

Reading the update got me very exited. Could the mentioned "uniform buffers for hardware skinning and instanced rendering" be used to create huge astroid fields consisting of for example 10000 or more asteroids using 10 different models with almost no performance penalties. Am I right?

[10,000+ individual art assets & animations Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal License.]

Indeed. The thing is that ID make the game engine public domain but never any art assets. Glitch is released with everything.

[10,000+ individual art assets & animations Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal License.]

I found this at SlashDot:

http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/11/19/206209/2-d-mmog-glitch-released-completely-into-the-public-domain

 

Glitch, a collaborative, web-based, massively multiplayer game developed by Tiny Speck, Inc. (tinyspeck.com) has been released under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal License. I'm not at all familiar with this game, but it is rare that both source code and all game assets are released into the public domain, which makes this announcement noteworthy. An excerpt from the announcement: 'The entire library of art assets from the game has been made freely available, dedicated to the public domain. Code from the game client is included to help developers work with the assets. All of it can be downloaded and used by anyone, for any purpose. (But: use it for good.)

 

Ok it is a 2D game but there must be stuff that can be reused in this package of 10.000+ assets like sounds and music etc.
