BlitzMax run LUA

[beo6]

Hello everyone and here is my (first?) Question after some time with this nice Engine and even nicer Forum.

 

I now tried to do most of the stuff in LUA and use the

Simple scene loader

most of it just works like in the editor except 2 things.

 

1. the Sky is just Black.
   
2. I can not find a function to run Game-LUA-Scripts like in the Editor when i select the FPS-Controller or Car LUA Script.
   

 

In the simple-scene-loader BlitzMax Code is the PlayerController included in BMX-Code,

so there is no possibility to just run the existing LUA-Controllers?

 

i didnt looked into the Editor-LUA-Game-scripts so maybe the black Sky needs the Game-Controller in LUA.

 

Sorry if this are stupid Questions or they get answered already somewhere.

 

Hope in the future i can also help or post some Code for you all.

 

Thanks

Good morning beo6, ok firstly just to clarify when you say "1.the Sky is just Black." do you mean when loading a "scene".sbx with the Simple scene loader ?

The black sky was a problem i had myself as i have switched from lua back to bmx for my main project.

 

Have you done:

'To Generate an updated lua-gluefunctions.bmx uncomment the lines tagged [1]
'and comment out the line tagged [2]. Run the code once, then swap back.
'lua-gluefunctions.bmx needs to be inside the App directory.

Import "PATH TO YOUR 2.3 SDK FOLDER\BMX\Framework\framework.bmx"
'Import lugi.generator '[1]

Include "lua-gluefunctions.bmx" '[2]
'generateGlueCode("lua-gluefunctions.bmx") '[1]
'End '[1]

 

Also you need the script folder (which you find in the root directory of the editor) in the folder your app is in. After I have done this i could load the scene as if i have opened it in the editor.

oh. Thanks for all your answers, i looked again at my Files and found out that i have used a wrong version of my SBX File in my Game-Folder . there was no Atmosphere.

so i think my second question can be answered: I have to use Thingoids for Character-Control in LUA.
