[sound 3d spatialization]

Dropping the range made the difference, thank you.

[sound 3d spatialization]

tried adding listener back, am using another mono sample. This is in the start function, but should it get moved to where the entity is instead of at 0,0,0 ?

 

Thanks.

 

--Create a listener

local listener = Listener:Create()

listener:SetPosition(0,0,0)

[sound 3d spatialization]

I tried creating a local listener for the self releasing object in the Start() function as in the API example showed, didn't seem to help

[sound 3d spatialization]

I set up the source sound looking at the api, i know my audio is a mono (1 track), but when it plays, it doesn't sound like it's in the distance on the more distant ones. Am i missing something else? Thanks.

Start:

 

self.sound={}

self.sound.glassbreak=Sound:Load(self.glassbreak)

--Create a self.source

self.source = Source:Create()

self.source:SetSound(self.sound.glassbreak)

self.sound.glassbreak:Release()

self.source:SetLoopMode(false)

self.source:SetRange(60.0)

end

 

-- play this audio once when the glass breaks

 

self.source:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition())

self.source:Play()

self.entity:SetMass(0)

self.entity:SetCollisionType(0)

self.entity:Release()

[sound 3d spatialization]

Ok I found this, but the documenation I think lies if i read it right.. loop=false doesn't let it keep playing. once the entity is released, the sound doesn't get a chance to play. It is killed with the entity.

 

self.entity:EmitSound(self.sound.glassbreak, 40, 1, 1, false)

[sound 3d spatialization]

Ok, only mono sounds can be played using 3d spatialization. are there any examples for it, or is it automatic as long as the sound is mono format?

[multiple resolutions and displays/fonts]

I found this, it works well.

[multiple resolutions and displays/fonts]

for multiple resolutions, is there an easy way to handle HUD text and output, or does it require calculations for each mode possible?

 

Thanks.

[global variable array problem]

Many thanks, after thinking about the 'fx and fy' variables and some testing, I realized those were a string value instead of numeric. I converted them to a number using tonumber(fx) and tonumber(fy), and it works as expected.

[global variable array problem]

It's odd, that's what I have but when I access it in another function (after it has been initialized and called), then crashes with a 'nil' like it has gone out of scope. BUT if I hardcode the numbers, it works.

 

 

myarray[fx][fy] = 0 -- nil error

 

myarray[3][1] = 0 -- works

[global variable array problem]

After I've initialized the array using a function, I can do this:

 

globals.myarray[1][1] = 0

 

and it works, but if I do this:

 

local fx=globals.reti

local fy=globals.retj

 

System:Print(...) ..

fx, fy are now equal to 1,1

 

This won't work:

globals.myarray[fx][fy] = 0

 

I get this error: 253 : attempt to index a nil value

 

What is going on?

 

thanks

[white out]

thanks, the drawrect works great

[white out]

What's an easy way to get the entire screen to fade to white or fade to black?

 

Thanks.

[model collision]

I used a different simple model as a trigger, it's working now.

[model collision]

The main thing is, my trigger isn't triggering but it's a child of the main object.

[model collision]

Yes, it's set as Rigid Body / Trigger under the Physics tab, with script of CollisionTrigger.lua in the script tab.

 

I set up the flowgraph, then i right click, save as prefab. Then I deleted the object on the editor and it's loaded at runtime. I brought it back in from the prefab folder, nothing is showing up in the flowgraph editor when i select the objects.

[model collision]

Be able to activate an object without having to touch it directly. Like at a distance.

[model collision]

Even then it only triggers if i'm moving within the trigger zone, if I stand still there is no continual triggering event. What am I missing? Thanks.

[model collision]

On my own function, using the flowgraph i see a plain line, where when i connect to the Collision() script I see the 'marching' dots along the line, if that makes sense. It gets triggered in the Collision() function of the elevator script, even though I change it to calloutputs("Collidex").. somehow it still triggers in the Collision() function.

 

Trigger script:
function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)
if self.enabled then
self.component:CallOutputs("Collision")
end
end

elevator script:
function Script:Collidex()--in
System:Print("Triggered here.!.")
end

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)--in
if (self.window==nil) then self:Start() end
System:Print("Triggered in collision function..!.")

 if self.window:KeyDown(Key.E) then
self.entity:Move(0, 0, -0.001)
entity:SetGravityMode(false)
else
entity:SetGravityMode(true)
end

end

[model collision]

So I must use the flowgraph editor to handle a trigger? The trigger is a child of the box, but it doesn't fire off when i enter the trigger zone as a collision().

 

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)

if (entity:GetKeyValue("type") == "player") then

System:Print("In the trigger zone")

trigzone = true

else

System:Print("Outside the trigger zone")

trigzone = false

end

end

[model collision]

Hi,

 

I have a basic model, the inside of a box like an elevator you can walk into. I find I have to keep pushing against the wall of the box to register a collision. How or what would I do to increase the range of the collision so I don't have to be pushing against it? In other words, if I walk into the box the collision is registering.

 

 

Thanks.

[flowgraph and connecting events]

Does it work for prefabs? I have this code and it works for the model on the map, but I saved as a prefab and spawn it it also, it doesn't display any message or open.

 

 

function Script:Collide()--in
   if self.animationmanager==nil then self:Start()  end
System:Print(">>> And this collision is called in turn..")
   if self.opened == false then
       self.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence("Open",0.04,150,self,self.EndOpen)
       self.opened = true
   end
end

[flowgraph and connecting events]

I'm at the point where I think I need to use a flowgraph. I have an invisible trigger box parented to an animated treasure chest. When I run into the trigger I want the animation of the chest to play (by opening)..

 

I added the CollisionTrigger.lua to the box, added to flowgraph and i see three functions in the flowgraph. So far it looks good.

 

For the animated box, i have a script to open/close the box, but when i move it to the flowgraph, it has no functions. How would I set it up to receive the input, to trigger the animation?

 

thanks.

I think in the steam account you set up a number of hard coded 'achievements'.. then you do a SetAchievement('hard coded achievement'), to set it to true to make the achievement 100%. For the increment, dont see how that works yet, but i'm guessing you can go from 0 to 100% for a certain achievement such as number of kills or what not.

Great, thanks!
