Hey guys.

 

Im trying to make game, but got a problem

 

I wrote a function, that change color of object "buildable" to red on click via function DoPick(Win)

 

but it works fine only for first 5 seconds

 

after ~5 sec it didnt do anything

 

mb some overflow?

 

I dont know, please help

 

function Script:Start()
-- Pivot Settings
self.initPos = self.entity:GetPosition(true)
self.initAngle = self.entity:GetRotation(true)
self.moveSpeed = 0.2
self.moveMultiplier = 2
self.turnSpeed = 0.4
self.yOffset = 1.0
self.entity:SetPosition(self.initPos.x, self.initPos.y + self.yOffset, self.initPos.z)
-- Camera Settings
self.cam = Camera:Create(self.entity)
self.camInitPos = Vec3(0, 7, -8)
self.cam:SetPosition(self.camInitPos)
self.zoomIn = 2
self.zoomOut = 25
self.cam:Point(self.entity)
-- Pick Settings
self.pickRadius = 0.2
self.pickedActor = nil
end

function Script:UpdateWorld()

local Win = Window:GetCurrent()
local Ts = Time:GetSpeed()
local smp = 1

if Win:MouseHit(1) then
self:DoPick(Win)
end

end

function Script:DoPick(Win)
local pickInfo = PickInfo()
local mp = Win:GetMousePosition()
if self.cam:Pick(mp.x, mp.y, pickInfo, self.pickRadius, true) then
if pickInfo.entity.entiType == entiTypes.buildable then
pickInfo.entity:SetColor(255,0,0)
end
else
end
end
end

Is there any other code possibly involved? The code you posted seems fine, but there might be an issue somewhere else. I'm not sure what you mean by overflow.

Just a side note - SetColor() uses a 0-1 scale - as does the rest of LE's color properties/commands as of a few months ago. The only thing that still uses the 0-255 scale is the actual color picker window, but it actually returns a 0-1 scale and requires a 0-1 scale to set it via code. Anything over 1 just essentially increases the intensity but you will probably not notice a difference past a value of 2 (if not less than that).

well, Im pretty sure something bad with my Pick or PickInfo

 

It marks 2-5 objects, and after that it stops marking, but program works fine

 

looks like oberflow, but I cant see which variable overflowing
