bullet holes (decals)?

[MexSource]

Hello Community,

 

I would like to create decals where i 'shoot' with mouse 1.

 

But I only found: http://www.leadwerks.com/wiki/index.php?title=CreateDecal

but there is no example for C++ and no syntax

 

 

 

Anyone got a solution

Odd, I see a C++ example. Pasted from the wiki (and note that this is for Leadwerks 2):

 

TPick _Picked;
CameraPick( &_Picked, Camera ( framework camera here ), Vec3(GraphicsWidth() / 2, GraphicsHeight() / 2, 100), 0);

TMesh _Decal = CreateDecal(_Picked.surface, TFormPoint(Vec3(_Picked.X, _Picked.Y, _Picked.Z), NULL, _Picked.entity), 20.0/16.0, 32);


EntityParent(_Decal , _Picked.entity, 0);
PaintEntity(_Decal , LoadMaterial("abstract::bullethole.mat"));

AddMesh(_Decal , _Picked.entity);

 

My bigger concern was not finding an example for Leadwerks 3. Also, since you're not a developer I know you have restricted access to the forums but I'm pretty sure there were a few threads out there about it.

Nope searched for it but everything the search found, outdated or something similar, 6 threads nothing working :/

Pls help

 

PS: i thougt it was C at the first look (but outdated :/)

To be clear, which version of Leadwerks are you working with? 2 or 3?

3 the trial for the moment

Will try this:

 

C++:

TMesh Surface::CreateDecal( const TVec3& pos, flt radius, int matrix = 0 ) const

 

(http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/Documentation/le2/_/command-reference/meshes/createdecal-r305)

 

 

tomorrow (should have searched better :/)

Note the link path, it has "le2" so I suppose this documentation is for LE 2.x not for 3.x (and yes LE2 was C, or better it was BlitzMax compiled DLL if I remember well, while the C++ version was just a wrapper around the C functions). We haven't the old T* types, like TMesh in the example posted on that page. I don't find anything about decals and surfaces for Leadwerks 3.

Hmm you are right 'CreateDecal' isn't a function :/ is there any method to create decals? (Sure C++)

Hello,

 

Decals are not supported currently in LE 3.0. I requested the feature a while ago:

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/7130-support-for-decals/

 

However the megatexture implementation of LE 3.1 should make it possible.

A decal entity will be added in the future. This is quite cool as it gets rendered into the gbuffer before the lighting stage, and can effect normals.

You could of course until then create your own decals.

The most simple solution would be a plane square that is aligned to the surface of the object that got hit.

That's what I would recommend for now. It can be easily replaced later and doesn't take much work.
