If you use and are registered with IRC, and use manners, ask at #blender channel in freenode.net. They are very helpful with questions I have had.

[Motion Blur]

Doing this in the FPSPlayer script after adding it to the root scene helped:

 

self.camera:AddPostEffect("AddOns/Motionblur (Shader)/motionblur.lua")

[two quick questions]

Thanks on #2

[two quick questions]

1) In the default MyGame, there is a tutorial of picking up and putting things down. If you hit the left mouse button before picking up a box, you have to hit 'E' twice to pick up the object. After picking it up and dropping it, you only need to hit 'E' once to pick it up. Anyone else see this bug, is it a lua script fix?

 

2) Is there a lua query that will return the graphics modes available?

 

Thanks.

[Ubuntu 14.10?]

To answer my own question, yes it will.. Xubuntu 14.10 64bit clean install, works just fine, at least the editor and lua samples so far.

[Ubuntu 14.10?]

Will leadwerks run under newer distro?

 

Thanks.

[leadwerks logo]

Where is a leadwerks logo i can use as a part of splash screen? thx

[beta overlaying lua scripts?]

Thanks!

[beta overlaying lua scripts?]

With LUA, should we make a copy of whatever script we are working on if we need to modify and rename, like FPSGun.lua or FPSPlayer.lua? It seems the beta updates tend to overlay the existing lua files and causes breaks here and there. If that's the case I need to rename App.lua and others?

 

Thanks.

[using variable from another script]

Figured something out.. I can call the function and do a return health into my main script.

 

Thanks for all the help.

 

Action.lua

..

killc = entity.script.GetHealth()

 

 

MonsterAI.lu

 

function Script:GetHealth()

return health

end

[using variable from another script]

How would i define a global var in another script and access from my primary one?

 

I have this in one script after attaching in the Start()

local killc = enemy.script.health

 

The drawtext shows 0, but the drawtext in the MonsterAI script shows the correct health.

[using variable from another script]

I need a central bucket where i collect the stats, like deaths, kills, health, etc and display them in the main game loop. I find the above example provided by Aaron Symons works well, but how do I get the stats over to say another script which could save the current game with the stats? Or even just display all the stats in the primary screen renderer?

 

Thanks.

[using variable from another script]

There is a script attached to an entity, but that's the pivot. The math is handled in the MonsterAI.lua and I want to get the health from there. The MonsterAI is 'prefabbbed' with a zombie prefab, not in the scene.

[using variable from another script]

How do I access a variable used in another script (LUA) attached to an object? Maybe wanting to see the monster's health during runtime for example?

 

 

 

Thanks.

[Found possible bug - latest beta]

That's odd, can't reproduce from scratch. I created a blank .PNG, copied to the Models folder, imported it and it worked. I'm probably not doing things correctly, perhaps a texture is already attached to a model and i'm trying to refresh it. I'll keep an eye on this, sorry about that.

[Found possible bug - latest beta]

Or even if I import the same named model from another folder to a new project, such as in the Models folder it tends to hang. It asks me if I want to overwrite, i click 'yes'. Either that or it's slow on the import and I don't wait long enough.

[collision issues]

Redid my model and recreated the test project, now it isn't crashing. I think it has to do with my entity class. Thank you for your help.

[collision issues]

Right now I'm AFK from my machine, will put something up when I return. The mesh I start with basic 1024x1024.

[collision issues]

Ahh.. understood about the displacement texture.

 

=The box is the 'terrain' that I set as polymesh and is non-moving. I can collide with it with no problems. WIth the built in terrain however, collision causes a crash.

[Found possible bug - latest beta]

Moved .PNG to model folder, tried to import and overwrite in same project model folder but the editor appeared to get hung up. After 5 minutes I ended the editor program manually.

[collision issues]

Thanks, I have a strange error though. I can collide with a plane or imported mesh using polymesh, but with the built-in terrain the demo game crashes on coliision. I created a displacement mesh and added it to the terrain, but it's not being displaced. The texture is also repeating.

[collision issues]

I booleaned the object down instead of having multiple objects joined together, exported fbx and although the convex shape look still like a curtain although less complicated, the collision and movement is working as expected.

[collision issues]

My issue is, with physics turned on convex doesn't look right.

 

I modelled a generic lunar lander, around 1900 polys. I'm testing a little complex modelling with it. I follow this method

 

blender: export 'joined' model to leadwerks .FBX format directly into project models folder

 

LE3:

right click added model, add convex shape

physics tab, add mass of 15.0 (tried 1.0 too)

Either shape file or the dropdown convex gives me the attached image, collision looks like a cone shape

With no collision, i can manipulate the 'lander' just fine.

With box, sphere, or convex it hangs in the sky. I can barely turn it.

 

I'm wondering it might be because i have some of the parts of the lander going through other parts before joining it as a single mesh.

 

Thanks.

[Beta branch available in Steam]

Is there a link to the updates of what's in the latest beta?

[particles need help]

I can add via the editor, then it asks me to allow real time rendering and now the one I created in the editor is visible. This manual one still isn't visible.
