Crouch script?

[Pfctink]

I have been messing around with a script in the FPSplayer, trying to get crouching to work is hard. How would I go about being able to crouch under objects? I have my script here: http://pastebin.com/wxSsy1hP

Maybe this will help you out?

Script.crouch does not work.

Seriously, I have the crouch "working", it's just I can't go under objects.

How low are the objects that you are trying to crouch under? If its lower than 0.8 or 0.9 meters then you will not be able.

You need to set the input for crouch. See below. I'm not sure why it wasn't included in the tutorial.

 

self.entity:SetInput(self.camRotation.y, playerMovement.z, playerMovement.x, jump , self.crouched, 1.0, 0.5, true)

Since I had not tackled this yet, I decided to this morning. ( Not adding the Peek, but only the crouch option) Brutile method seems to let the player crouch to pass below surfaces previously not able.

Well, I have the line set in, but it's still not working. I can crouch, but I'm not able to go under any objects.

Replaced the false with self.crouched in the UpdatePhysics function? If so, maybe it is what macklebee was saying about the height.

 

--With smoothing 
--Position camera at correct height and playerPosition
--self.entity:SetInput(self.camRotation.y, playerMovement.z, playerMovement.x, jump , false, 1.0, 0.5, true)
self.entity:SetInput(self.camRotation.y, playerMovement.z, playerMovement.x, jump , self.crouched, 1.0, 0.5, true)

The crouch height is 1.2 meters (I must have been remembering old heights typically used with LE2). What may be confusing about the crouch is that the visible debug physics body does not change size when crouch is true.

 

Example script that shows the crouch height of 1.2 meters. Use WSAD to move and hit C to crouch:

window = Window:Create("crouch height",0,0,800,600,17)

context = Context:Create(window)

world = World:Create()

camera = Camera:Create()

camera:SetRotation(40,0,0)

camera:Move(0,0,-8)

light = DirectionalLight:Create()

light:SetRotation(35,35,0)

 

camera:SetDebugPhysicsMode(true)

 

ground = Model:Box(10,1,10)

ground:SetPosition(0,-0.5,0)

ground:SetColor(0,1,0)

shape = Shape:Box(0,0,0, 0,0,0, 10,1,10)

ground:SetShape(shape)

shape:Release()

 

box1 = Model:Box(1,1.2,1)

box1:SetPosition(-2,0.6,-1)

box2 = Model:Box(1,1.2,1)

box2:SetPosition(2,0.6,-1)

box3 = Model:Box(5,1,1)

box3:SetPosition(0,1.7,-1)

shape = Shape:PolyMesh((box1:GetSurface(0)))

box1:SetShape(shape)

shape = Shape:PolyMesh((box2:GetSurface(0)))

box2:SetShape(shape)

shape = Shape:PolyMesh((box3:GetSurface(0)))

box3:SetShape(shape)

shape:Release()

 

player = Pivot:Create()

visiblecapsule = Model:Cylinder(16,player)

visiblecapsule:SetScale(.8,1.8,.8)

visiblecapsule:SetPosition(0,.9,0)

player:SetPosition(-4,0,0)

player:SetMass(1)

player:SetPhysicsMode(Entity.CharacterPhysics)

 

crouch = false

 

while window:KeyHit(Key.Escape)==false do

if window:Closed() then break end

 

move = ((window:KeyDown(Key.W) and 1 or 0) - (window:KeyDown(Key.S) and 1 or 0))*4

strafe = ((window:KeyDown(Key.D)and 1 or 0) - (window:KeyDown(Key.A) and 1 or 0))*4

jump = (window:KeyHit(Key.Space) and 1 or 0)*8

if window:KeyHit(Key.C) then crouch = not crouch end

player:SetInput(0,move,strafe,jump,crouch)

 

Time:Update()

world:Update()

world:Render()

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)

context:DrawText("Crouched: "..tostring(crouch),2,2)

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)

context:Sync()

end

 

Also note this example shows that when crouching under something, the developer needs to prevent standing back up to prevent weird physic results from occurring - ie character slingshot across map, character pushed through the map, etc...

Now how would I be able to apply this to the FPSplayer prefab?
