Modification Help / Re: Mounting an object once a projectile hits

« on: June 30, 2008, 12:13:32 PM »

Well, it makes no different what you mount.
Can't you just use the player's eye position, then?

Code: [Select]

function ProjectileData::onCollision(%this, %obj, %col, %fade, %pos, %normal)
{
   %obj.targetPosition = %obj.getEyePoint();
}

EDIT:
Ah, I see your dilemma.

You say you're trying to get AIPlayer::setAimLocation to work better, but this code looks like it mounts a gun item on a player's head.

Are you trying to mount a bot on a player's head and use the bot to aim the player? If so, it may look something like this:

Code: [Select]

        ...

%player = %client.player;

if( !isObject(%player.targetObject) )
{
%player.mountObject( %player.targetObject = new AIPlayer()
{
dataBlock = %player.getDataBlock();
position = %client.player.getTransform();
rotation = "1 0 0 0";
scale = "1 1 1";
} , $headSlot );
}

        ...

I remember having problems mounting things on players as well.

Modification Help / Re: Point-in-cylinder

« on: June 15, 2008, 01:28:51 PM »

This was tricky

Code: [Select]

function is_in_cylinder(%pt, %vec, %rad, %ht, %norm)
// "pt" is the point you're checking
// "vec" is actually the bottom of the cylinder
// "rad" and "ht" are the radius and height of the cylinder
// "norm" is the normalized vector relative to the bottom of the cylinder

{
%top = VectorAdd(%vec, VectorScale(%norm, %ht SPC %ht SPC %ht));
%center = VectorAdd(%vec, VectorScale(%norm, (%ht/2) SPC (%ht/2) SPC (%ht/2)));
%vec1 = VectorSub(%pt, %top);
%vec2 = VectorSub(%top, %vec);
%dist = mAbs( VectorCross(%vec1, %vec2) ) / VectorLen(%vec2);

if( %dist > %rad ) return false;
else
{
%start = 0;
%hit = VectorScale(%norm, %start);
while( true )
{
if( VectorDist(%pt, %hit) - %dist < 0.005 )
break;
else if( %start > %ht )
return false;

%start += 0.005;
%hit = VectorScale(%norm, %start);
}

if( VectorDist(%hit, %center) > VectorDist(%vec, %center) )
return false;
else
return true;
}
}

Off Topic / Re: Best Place to Learn C++

« on: June 14, 2008, 12:03:04 PM »

Do not use torque. You can download resources for C++ that are useful for 3D games; I'm starting to work with OpenGL myself.

C# isn't bad when it comes to graphics, but it's not as popular, portable, or useful as C++.

If you're looking for a good compiler, I use Dev-C++.

Capitalization makes no diffrence.

it's a syntax error

Modification Help / Re: Lvl Coresponding to Exp?

This is called debugging and it's important that you can do this so you don't have to make a new topic every time you get a syntax error.

The problem is the message "\c5Lvl: %1" (where %1 is the client's level) prints "Lvl: ". In other words, it's saying the client's level is blank, right? That means you never assigned a value to the client's level.

Now, you go into your code and figure out why the client's level has no value. The function that's supposed to give a value to the client's level is the Rpgset(), where you say:

Code: [Select]

If(%Client.exp >= 0);
%Client.Lvl = 1;

If(%Client.exp >= 50);
%Client.Lvl = 2;

That's not even torque script. You have extra semi-colons in there and keywords shouldn't be capitalized.


Eonz, the console tells you where you have errors in your code.

They weren't included because the general function allows any piece of code to be executed

They're all just as dangerous - there's no reason to keep the other functions hidden from the server.

Modification Help / Re: Optional Parameters

« on: June 09, 2008, 06:18:34 PM »

That would be valid in C-derived languages, but torque doesn't support optional parameters. You really don't need them though, because torque doesn't care about how many parameters there are:

Code: [Select]

function foo(%need, %not)
{
   if( %not $= "" )
   {
      // They didn't give a '%not' paramter
      // Or they put an empty string here
      echo("Optional parameter wasn't used.");
   }
   else
   {
      echo("Optional parameter was used.");
   }
}

The amount of parameters you provide doesn't matter:

Code: [Select]

foo("Hello"); // 'Optional parameter wasn't used'; the second param is set to: ""
foo("This", "is", "rather", "unnecessary"); // 'Optional parameter was used'
Extra parameters are ignored.

Modification Help / Re: Keybind System?

« on: June 09, 2008, 05:28:50 PM »

It's a client-side feature. This would call someFunction(3) whenever you press 'x':

Code: [Select]

moveMap.bind(keyboard, "x", "someFunction", 3);
If the bind should be used even when you're not in-game, use globalActionMap instead of moveMap.

It's also possible to make a more complex keyboard bind that can do more than just call a function.

Why would you assume that I know anything about a /buy script? Like I said, you have to give me all the details because I can't read your mind. But it's fixed now .

By the way, now that I see your /buy code, you need to delete all of the item prices in the /buy script so they don't override the existing prices. Then replace:

Code: [Select]

      %price_of_item = $itemPrices[%item] * %amount_to_buy; // Calculate price
with:

Code: [Select]

      %price_of_item = firstWord($itemPrices[%item]) * %amount_to_buy; // Calculate price

I need to know how you're storing the client's gold.
In other words, what's your code for /grantgold and /checkgold?

Try my script again, it works fine for me:

/forge GoldOre 1
Forging costed you: 50 gold, 5 SilverOre, and you now have 1 GoldOre.

You might not have enough gold...
Try: ClientGroup.getObject(0).gold = 9999;
