Controller

[Marleys Ghost]

did you set your model to scene?

[Elmar]

I include my model to the editor and close the editor. Then i want to use this sbx file as scene. What you mean when you say set the model?

[Marleys Ghost]

You have to set your models collision parameter in the editor as in the picture above .. double click the model in the scene and then under the physics tab set that model to "scene". Then save the scene.

[Elmar]

Yes i did it when you say...But i didn't feel any difference...

 

Is it necessary to create terrain in every scene?

[Marleys Ghost]

no, its not necessary. Hae you tried using game mode in the editor to walk on the model ?

[Elmar]

I try it know. Again the same problem. Player with gun moves of scene..

[Marleys Ghost]

Not much else I can suggest without the model, more information or example project.

[Elmar]

When i begin game mode on the model, player goes on the ground. Even there are collisions, which i wish already for a long time. There is only problem that as the players hasn't any height...

 

[Marleys Ghost]

So the player will collide with the model when you postion it at/on the model, which suggests its a postioning error when you do that with code. The height issue with the controller is probably due to the changes of the position of the origin of the controller, when did you last update? check the fpscontroller.lua (Leadwerks SDK\scripts\games\) has this line:

 

--Position camera
camera:SetPositionf(controller.position.x,controller.position.y+1.7,controller.position.z,1)

 

The origin of the controller was moved from the centre to the bottom so you need to have the camera height set right.

[Elmar]

Is it 100% so that, if the player can stands on the model in game mode in the editor, then i can do it with code, that my controller easy can stand, go with collisions on the same sbx file?

[Marleys Ghost]

Should do, make sure you position the controller over/at the model .. otherwise it has nothing to stand on.

[Elmar]

if you mean the starting height value for the position of the controler then you use PostionEntity as above the Vec3 is three values for that postion Vec3(x,y,z) ... the value for y (5.0 as above) sets the height.

 

Hello,

The changing co-ordinates PositionEntity only changes the place of start of my controller. But i want to do tall controller. I think that my controller is creeping. When i change co-ordinates and run the program, controller begin in high and then it returns...

[Marleys Ghost]

Sounds like you need to set the camera postion attched to the controller, try adding 1 to the value.

[Elmar]

Can you show this in code?

[Marleys Ghost]

post your code and I will take a look.

}

[Marleys Ghost]

So what exactly is it NOT doing?

 

This line sets the controllers height, here example 2.0

 

TController player=CreateController(2.0); 

 

This sets the Cameras height, here example Y+1.75

 

camerapos.Y=Curve(playerpos.Y+1.75,camerapos.Y,2.0); 

[Elmar]

OK, Everything is good yet)

How i can load the sky material in this code?

[Marleys Ghost]

you are better off using framework. Then simply place an atmosphere in your scene in the editor.

[Elmar]

But in this sample (with framework) there are no collision between controller and scene. How i can add it?

[Marleys Ghost]

There is, can you elaborate?

[Elmar]

There are no any collision in this sample..

[Marleys Ghost]

really? thats elaboration?

[Elmar]

what is the elaboration?
