Hi, is it possible to Hide and Show loaded Maps? , Schoppy

Hi, is it possible to set an Entitys RenderPosition? In Blitz3D this was EntityOrder. The problem is when I use z-sort as Material Flag, the Model are not affect by a Light. Here are some Pictures: The Plane are pointed to the Camera. When the z-Sort Flag is false, the plane affected by the light. But I need z-Sort to Render the Plane before the Planet.

Hi, another problem. After rotating the Plane, the Effect don't work. Are the VertexNormal are not rotating too?

Ok, thanks all for help. I think I have the solution: //Get the Plane Normal Surface* surface = mPlane->GetSurface(0); Leadwerks::Vec3 V1 = surface->GetVertexNormal(1); //Get the Differenz between Camera and Plane Leadwerks::Vec3 V2 = camera->GetPosition() - mPlane->GetPosition(); //Normalize the Vectors V1 = V1.Normalize(); V2 = V2.Normalize(); //The Dot Product float dot = V1.Dot(V2); //ABS float dotAbsolute = Leadwerks::Math::Abs(dot); cout << dotAbsolute << endl; mPlane->SetColor(1, 1, 1, dotAbsolute);

Ok, i need exactly this effect:

Hi, I need the Angle between a Plane and the Camera: Leadwerks::Vec3 V1 = mPlane->GetPosition(); Leadwerks::Vec3 V2 = camera->GetPosition(); // turn vectors into Normals Leadwerks::Vec3 V1n = V1.Normalize(); Leadwerks::Vec3 V2n = V2.Normalize(); //the Dot Product float dot = V1n.Dot(V2n); //And the Angle float angle = Leadwerks::Math::ACos(dot); But the Angle is not correct.

Hi, is it possible to change the fontHeight? I have only found Font->GetHeight() but I need Font->SetHeight() Thanks

Thank you Ma-Shell. Now it works.

Thank you for your Reply. I have include the lib about this manual: http://www.jenkinssoftware.com/raknet/manual/tutorial.html Before, I have start a new Leadwerks Project and that compiled without errors.

Hi, I have Include the Raknet Library as described in this manual. http://www.jenkinssoftware.com/raknet/manual/tutorial.html But when I compile the Project, there are many Errors: Fehler 141 error LNK2019: Verweis auf nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol ""public: virtual __thiscall Leadwerks::Object::~Object(void)" (??1Object@Leadwerks@@UAE@XZ)" in Funktion ""public: virtual __thiscall Leadwerks::Vec3::~Vec3(void)" (??1Vec3@Leadwerks@@UAE@XZ)".

Hi, does anyone have an idea how to implement an Planet Glow Effect like this picture?

Ok, first i calculate the new Planet Positions with: //calculate the planet Position yaw = yaw + 0.5; float ny = Math::Sin(soll_pitch) / Math::Cos(soll_pitch); float nx = Math::Sin(yaw); float nz = Math::Cos(yaw); then normalize //normalize vector float factor = sqrt(nx*nx + ny*ny + nz*nz); nx = nx / Math::Abs(factor); ny = ny / Math::Abs(factor); nz = nz / Math::Abs(factor); and last position planetSphere->SetPosition(nx*planetDistancetoSun, 0, nz*planetDistancetoSun); this works for the X and Z Axis. But now I would like calculate the Y Axis like 45° or another °.

Hi, for my Project, I must calculate the Sphere Position with Sin and Cos on the x/y/z axis. There is a Error in the Orbital Inclination calculation. My Math in Sin and Cos are not so good ;-) Ok, i can use a Pivot and the move and turn Commands, but I need the calculation for later work without the Models. Here are my Code: #include "App.h" using namespace Leadwerks; App::App() : window(NULL), context(NULL), world(NULL), camera(NULL) {} App::~App() { delete world; delete window; } Vec3 camerarotation; #if defined (PLATFORM_WINDOWS) || defined (PLATFORM_MACOS) bool freelookmode=true; #else bool freelookmode=false; #endif Model* sunSphere = NULL; Model* planetSphere = NULL; float planetDistancetoSun = 5.0; float pitch = -45.0; float yaw = 0.0; float soll_pitch = 0.0; bool Orbital_inclination; bool App::Start() { Orbital_inclination = false; //Create a window window = Leadwerks::Window::Create("OrbitInc"); //Create a context context = Context::Create(window); //Create a world world = World::Create(); //Create a camera camera = Camera::Create(); camera->Move(0,2,-10); //Hide the mouse cursor window->HideMouse(); //std::string mapname = System::GetProperty("map","Maps/start.map"); //Map::Load(mapname); //Create a Light Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create(); light->SetRotation(35, 35, 0); //Create Sun Sphere sunSphere = Model::Sphere(); sunSphere->SetColor(1.0, 1.0, 0.0); sunSphere->SetScale(2.0,2.0,2.0); //Create Planet Sphere planetSphere = Model::Sphere(); planetSphere->SetColor(0.0, 0.0, 1.0); //Move the mouse to the center of the screen window->SetMousePosition(context->GetWidth()/2,context->GetHeight()/2); return true; } bool App::Loop() { //Close the window to end the program if (window->Closed()) return false; //Press escape to end freelook mode if (window->KeyHit(Key::Escape)) { if (!freelookmode) return false; freelookmode=false; window->ShowMouse(); } if (freelookmode) { //Keyboard movement float strafe = (window->KeyDown(Key:) - window->KeyDown(Key::A))*Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed() * 0.05; float move = (window->KeyDown(Key::W) - window->KeyDown(Key::S))*Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed() * 0.05; camera->Move(strafe,0,move); //Get the mouse movement float sx = context->GetWidth()/2; float sy = context->GetHeight()/2; Vec3 mouseposition = window->GetMousePosition(); float dx = mouseposition.x - sx; float dy = mouseposition.y - sy; //Adjust and set the camera rotation camerarotation.x += dy / 10.0; camerarotation.y += dx / 10.0; camera->SetRotation(camerarotation); //Move the mouse to the center of the screen window->SetMousePosition(sx,sy); } if (window->KeyHit(Key:)) { if (Orbital_inclination == false) { Orbital_inclination = true; } else { Orbital_inclination = false; } } Leadwerks::Time::Update(); //calculate the planet Position yaw = yaw + 0.5; float ny = Math::Sin(soll_pitch) / Math::Cos(soll_pitch); float nx = Math::Sin(yaw); float nz = Math::Cos(yaw); //calculate the Orbital_inclination if (Orbital_inclination) { float ist_yaw = Math::Mod(yaw,360); float p_weg = (ist_yaw * 100.0) / 360.0; float winkelWeg = (2 * pitch); if (winkelWeg < 0) { winkelWeg = -1 * winkelWeg; } //calculation from the first 180 degrees soll_pitch = -(winkelWeg / 2) + (p_weg *(winkelWeg * 2)) / 100; //calculation from the second 180 degrees --- not correct !!!!!!!!!! if (ist_yaw > 180.0) { soll_pitch = -(winkelWeg / 2) - (p_weg *(winkelWeg * 2)) / 100; } } //normalize vector float factor = sqrt(nx*nx + ny*ny + nz*nz); nx = nx / Math::Abs(factor); ny = ny / Math::Abs(factor); nz = nz / Math::Abs(factor); planetSphere->SetPosition(nx*planetDistancetoSun, ny*planetDistancetoSun, nz*planetDistancetoSun); world->Update(); world->Render(); context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Alpha); context->SetColor(1, 1, 1); context->DrawText("Press Key O for Oribital Inclinaton", 2, 2); if (Orbital_inclination) { context->DrawText("Oribital Inclinaton: 1" , 2, 20); } if (!Orbital_inclination) { context->DrawText("Oribital Inclinaton: 0", 2, 20); } context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Solid); context->Sync(false); return true; }

Hi, thank you Shadmar for your reply. Here are my problem. Have you an Idea to solve this problems? Thanks Schoppy

Hi, first, Thanks shadmar for the great Glow Shader. I need this Shader on a Plane with an Alpha Texture. The Problem is, that the Glow Shader only works with the Solid Blend Mode. Is it possible to use the Glow Shader with the Alpha Blend Mode? Thanks. Schoppy

Thank you tjheldna. Now it works.

Hi, see the Attached Image. In the Left Image is Leadwerks 3.0 with the correct Texture. On the Right Image is Leadwerks 3.1 & 3.2 with a 1px line under he same Texture. Is it a Bug? Schoppy

Hi, i have played with your code. The problem is: self.entity:SetRotation(inclination) inclination is a Quad and a Quad has 4 values. x, y, z, w. And SetRotation accept 3 Values EDIT: Oh Sorry, i see SetRotation accept a Quad.

Hi beo6, I have played around with your sample. The Problem is that the pickinfo.normal.y is allways a possitive value. Its right, it works on one side of a hill. But on the other side the value must be negative. But it is positive. I do not know why this is so.

Yes, I have played with AlignToVector, too. It works and rotate the Model in the right Position. But for the Movment I have use SetVelocity and I have a flickering problem too. I think the problem is that AlignToVector breaks the Physic System.

Ok, I thing it is Time for some Code (C++). Here I have write a little example with 3 Methods to Navigate a Character to a specific Position. All three Methods has his own problems. You can switch the Method with this lines: // Set Method int method = 1; #include "App.h" using namespace Leadwerks; App::App() : window(NULL), context(NULL), world(NULL), camera(NULL) {} App::~App() { delete world; delete window; } Vec3 camerarotation; #if defined (PLATFORM_WINDOWS) || defined (PLATFORM_MACOS) bool freelookmode=true; #else bool freelookmode=false; #endif Model* pickSphere; Entity* characterController; Entity* characterMesh; PickInfo pickinfo; NavMesh* navMesh; NavPath* path; Model* box; list<Model*> models; list<Model*>::iterator modelsIt; int pointCounter = 1; // ####################### Character Move Methods ######################## // Set Method int method = 1; //method 1 = Standard Character Move Method ( only on xy Axis while SetPhysicsMode(Entity::CharacterPhysics)) //method 2 = Character Contoller is only a Pivot. The Charcter Model Follow this Pivot by SetPhysicPosition and Rotation (Problem the Model Collides with the Pivot and looks ver bad!) //method 3 = Calculate the Path Manuel and move and rotate the Model. (The Rotation is Bad and sometimes the Model collides with a wall) bool App::Start() { //Create a window window = Window::Create("RTS_Movement"); //Create a context context = Context::Create(window); //Create a world world = World::Create(); //Create a camera camera = Camera::Create(); camera->SetFOV(40.0f); camera->SetRotation(45,0,0); camera->Move(0,0,-35); //Create a light Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();

I think that this is also interesting for others, too.

Oh sorry, I am working on an little Tank RTS Game. I use the Navmesh to navigate the Tanks on the map. With a Character Controller it works very good. But the problem are hills. The Tanks rotate only on the y axis (Character Controller). What i need is a rotation upward/downward for the tanks, see first picture.

Ok, but with this way i cannot use the GotoPoint Command.

The problem is that I used a Character Controller. See Ricks answer. "Character controllers only rotate on the y axis (turns left/right)." With a Character Controller the Physics are not working.

Thanks for the answers. Ok, my Idea is to parent 2 boxes, one on the Frontside and one on the backside from the tank. Then I can check the height difference between the two boxes and calculate the Rotation Angel. What I need is a Pick Y Command on the box to check the Y Coordinate. Which command is the best for this? And second the Rotation Angel, i think ATAN2 is right?
