[Question about LE 4 vegetation LOD system]

Hi everyone. Does LE 4 has implemented LOD system or I have to implement it myself? If it has, can someone please refer me to info or article about it. Thanks.

[How to make skydome dynamically transparent?]

Finally sorted this out myself. That's the code now:

Script.a=0
Script.mtl=NULL
Script.srf=NULL
Script.col=Vec4()
function Script:Start()
	self.srf = self.entity:GetSurface(0);
	self.mtl=self.srf:GetMaterial()
end



function Script:UpdateWorld()
	self.col=self.mtl:GetColor()
	self.col.r = self.col.r
	self.col.g = self.col.g
	self.col.b = self.col.b
	self.col.a = self.col.a-self.a
	self.mtl:SetColor(self.col)
	self.a=self.a+0.0001	
end

 

[How to make skydome dynamically transparent?]

Script.a=0
Script.mtl=NULL
Script.srf=NULL

function Script:Start()
	self.srf = self.entity:GetSurface(0);
	self.mtl=self.srf:GetMaterial()
end



function Script:UpdateWorld()
	self.mtl:SetColor(255,255,255,self.a)
	self.a=self.a+0.001	
end

That's the lua skydome code I have so far.

It goes from transparent to solid, but theres no texture, just color. If I remove "SetClolor()" the texture is back to place. Any ideas?

 

 

[Question about creating vegetation]

...nothing seems to work.I'm attaching my file with tree. maybe someone can have a look at it. .blend an .fbx formats

model.zip

[Question about creating vegetation]

Im using vegetation leaves shader with terrain vegetation. How i set, or whats setting vertex color?

[Question about creating vegetation]

I've sorted out shadows. The shadows checkbox in terrain/vegetation was not checked. But the leave movement is still not working. I wander could that be a geometry problem. I used rectangles divided in a half by width and height, so in one plane there is 4 faces.

[Question about creating vegetation]

Hi. I've created a tree in blender similar to pine tree that comes with LE. But the tree in LE has moving branches and my branches dont move. Material settings and shaders are identical to the pine in LE. Used PNG as textures. Also branches dont cast shadow on each other even if the ''cast shadow'' box is set in material. The shadow casted is only on the ground. Any ideas what im doing wrong?

[How to interact with terrain vegetation?]

I think any manipulation is not possible, since vegetation is not stored in memory but uses drawing algorithm which draws entities dynamically every frame depending on seed....

[How to interact with terrain vegetation?]

ID=30 for terrain vegetation tree. Which is not docummented. Some "x" class. Terrain is 20 and model is 2.

[How to interact with terrain vegetation?]

no it doesnt. Have to hurry to work, talk to u later...

[How to interact with terrain vegetation?]

but it has to be some entity this reports true:

if self.picked_entity then
context:DrawText("Picked".."entity",10,60)
else
context:DrawText("Picked ".."nothing",10,60)
end

[How to interact with terrain vegetation?]

pickinfo.entity:GetPosition() does not report any values (all 0)

[How to interact with terrain vegetation?]

How can i check this? I mean content..

[How to interact with terrain vegetation?]

I used a variable for picking and when a cursor was on the tree it was positive, also the tree material picking flag is set. I assume that picking is possible, but is it possible to ineract like change rotation?

...
if self.camera:Pick(mousepos.x,mousepos.y,pickinfo) then
self.picked_entity=pickinfo.entity
if window:KeyDown(Key.L) then
 self.ok_picked=1
 --pickinfo.entity:Hide()
 pickinfo.entity:Turn(0,Time:GetSpeed()*0.5,0)
else
 self.ok_picked=0
end
end
...

 

self.ok_picked ws positive when cursor was on the tree

[How to interact with terrain vegetation?]

.....
if self.camera:Pick(mousepos.x,mousepos.y,pickinfo) then
   self.picked_entity=pickinfo.entity
   if window:KeyDown(Key.L) then
   pickinfo.entity:Turn(0,Time:GetSpeed()*0.5,0)
   end
end
......

Hi is it possible in any ways to inerract with terrain vegetation, like trees? I want trees to be cuttable, is there any way to do this? I tried picking, it picks the tree but any interaction like moving, hiding, rotating wont work

[Any functions for fog?]

Cool thanks alot gamecreator

[Any functions for fog?]

Hi, are there any functions for fog creation?

[Is it possible to have multiple viewports?]

Ok guys, thanks for help. Not working for me. I found another solution:

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/12537-drawing-a-section-of-a-2d-texture-setting-uv-coords/#entry90453

[Is it possible to have multiple viewports?]

Finally got it working. A bit laggy, but working. Theres my code:

 

Script.buffer=0
Script.mapcam=0
function Script:Start()
....
self.camera=Camera:Create()
self.camera:SetRotation(0,0,0)
self.camera:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition(true)+Vec3(0,1.8,0))
self.buffer = Buffer:Create(100, 100, 1, 1, 0)
self.mapcam = Camera:Create()
self.mapcam:SetRenderTarget(self.buffer:GetColorTexture())
end
function Script:UpdateWorld()
....
local buff=Buffer:GetCurrent()
Buffer:SetCurrent(self.buffer)
world:Render()
Buffer:SetCurrent(buff)
end
function Script:PostRender(context)
....
context:DrawImage(self.buffer:GetColorTexture(),0,0,100,100)
end

 

Didnt managed to get "camera:Render()" to work. Any ideas? The code actually renders same scene..

[Is it possible to have multiple viewports?]

I would say 2 cameras would be less costly

[Is it possible to have multiple viewports?]

Thanks guys. Need to study and try this...

What if to have 2 cameras and use one as usual and other one for map?

[Is it possible to have multiple viewports?]

Im actually looking for viewport for minimap, so i can scale map and still have the bounds and see the 3d view. Maybe there are other workarounds for that?
