Where can I find this example map?

[bansama]

I was searching for information on making traditional doors (i.e., those that swing outward) and found this article about the addition of joint motors: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/blog/1/entry-1138-leadwerks-30-updated-with-joint-motors/

 

In it, it mentions a new example map showing doors that swing open. I cannot find this map anywhere. Does anyone happen to know where it can downloaded from?

 

Thanks

That style of map from Leadwerks 3.0 is actually what lead to the creation of the current example maps. However, that map itself was never included in Leadwerks 3.1 on Steam.

That's a shame. Is there any chance of a new one for Leadwerks 3.1 being made? An working example of how to make such doors would be extremely useful.

It's actually almost the exact same thing as the example doors map, which is included with Leadwerks:

The only difference is it uses the swinging door script instead of the sliding door script.

There is an example of the sliding door script being used in the Tutorial: Switches and Events map. The video can be found here:

@Josh @macklebee Thanks. It took some trial and error with messing around with both the pin and offset numbers (and some rather funny results), but have now worked out how to make traditional doors using that script.

Ok Bansama how did you get it to work.

After seeing your first post I tried using the swing door script but with little success. Changing the offset made the door change position, not it point of rotation, as I would expect it to.

I'm interested in how you got it to work.

Here's what I did:

 

1 - Loaded up the tutorial map 03-Doors and saved it with a new name. That way any mistakes won't render the tutorial map useless should it be needed in the future.

 

2 - Using the second set of doors, I replaced the sliding door script for both doors with the swinging door one.

 

3 - Opened up the Flowgraph Editor and made sure the BoXTrigger:CollisionTrigger Collision() option was linked to the slidingdoor_left:SwingingDoor Open() and slidingdoor_right:SwingingDoor Open() options. If those don't exist in the Flowgraph Editor you may need to drag the door objects in to the Flowgraph Editor screen.

 

4 - Set the values in the script for slidingdoor_left: Offset 0.0, 0.0, 1.0; Pin 0.0, 1.0, 0.0

 

5 - Set the values in the script for slidingdoor_right: Offset 0.0, 0.0, -1.0; Pin 0.0, -1.0, 0.0

 

The trick will be getting the right combination of values to have any door opening on the side and in the direction you want.

 

Hope that helps.

Cheers thanks mate. It works now.

Glad to hear you got it working. I will add though that depending on the size and position of your door, you'll want to mess around with which actual offset to use (x, y, z) and try sizes that are smaller than 1.0. I found that for a door with a width of 128 cm, an offset of 0.7 works rather well.
