Vehicle setup

Ellegant solution... i was wondering how you handled mapping world space to texture space :)

In the collision, i simply skip the next collision and then take the one after :)
I will try setup a demo over the next few days if time is available.

Thanks, in fact is a quite simple concept: just find a relationship between the world and the map image. ;)

No problem, I finally solved it, just adding a hit counter: :D

Code: Select all
obj = 0;
wpID = 0;

hit = 0;

function onInit(objID)
   obj = objID;
   wpID = sky.getVar("wpID");
end

function onTrigger_Enter(HitID)

   tagname = entity.getTagFromID(HitID);
   
   if (tagname == "player") then
      hit = hit + 1;
   end
   
   if (hit == 1) then
      -- set global variables
      sky.setVar("Collision",1);
      sky.setVar("waypointID",wpID);
      sky.lprint("Waypoint: "..wpID);
   end

   if (hit > 1) then
      hit = 0;
   end
   
end

function onUpdate( td )
   -- set global variables
   sky.setVar("Collision",0);
end


Thanks very much for the hints!

Cheers

Hi there,

I've just resurrected the race level I made with Gen1, got it mostly working again in Gen2.

But there's a message in the console which I'm getting since switched to Gen2:

Code: Select all
Failed to remove rigidbody as the id does not exist.


It appears when I stop the game, repeated 58 times, which is the number of triggers I create in runtime. Do you know why I get this?

Thanks in advance! ;)

I agree with @la1, really happy you are on the racing now. It going to look awesome in Gen2!!!

As for that error message: This appears if you are trying to delete a rigidbody that has an ID less than 0, or if the physics body no longer exists in the arrays. My advice would be to simplify and find the bit causing it.
Q) Are you using the physics.removeBody().

It appears when I stop the game, repeated 58 times, which is the number of triggers I create in runtime. Do you know why I get this?

With the last version, there was changes to the action "PhysX Trigger Volume", so i can do some test myself with this :)

If it is an error, we will gladly take a look for you. If we can have a repeat process or the trigger preset you could send us, that would be great in trying to find the reason why it appears. :)

Ok, I'll try to explain what I'm doing... I'm creating a squence of waypoints based on the path nodes, which are going to be part of the race tracker. I do this by script when the level is initializing:

Code: Select all
   -- Create the waypoints
   for i=0,lastNode,5 do
      wpx,wpy,wpz = path.getNodePosition(pathName, i)
      nodeYaw = path.getNodeYaw(pathName, i)
      waypoint[i] = entity.spawn("MR_node",wpx,wpy,wpz,75,20,0.01)
      entity.setVisible(waypoint[i],0)
      entity.setRotation(waypoint[i],0,nodeYaw,0)
      if (i == 0) then
         entity.setMaterialName(waypoint[i], "MR_node_red")
      end
      physics.addTrigger(waypoint[i],1)
      sky.setVar("wpID",i/5) --set global var for each script
      entity.addScript(waypoint[i],"MR_race_trigger.lua")
   end


Each waypoint has its own script ("MR_race_trigger.lua"), which gets and sets some global variables, in order to detect when the car is passing through every waypoint:

Code: Select all
obj = 0
wp_ID = 0
hit = 0

function onInit(objID)
   obj = objID
   -- get global variable
   wp_ID = sky.getVar("wpID")
end

function onUpdate( td )
   -- set global variable
   sky.setVar("waypointCollision",0)
end

function onTrigger_Enter(HitID)
   tagname = entity.getTagFromID(HitID)
   if (tagname == "player") then
      hit = hit + 1
   end
   if (hit == 1) then
      -- set global variables
      sky.setVar("waypointCollision",1)
      sky.setVar("waypointID",wp_ID)
      sky.lprint("Waypoint: "..wp_ID)
   end
   if (hit > 1) then
      hit = 0
   end
end


That's basically... I think.

No, the only rigidbodies atm are the car and the track.

SolarPortal wrote:With the last version, there was changes to the action "PhysX Trigger Volume", so i can do some test myself with this :)


I'm using the basic event from the API, no actions:

Code: Select all
function onTrigger_Enter(int hitID)
    sound.play2DSound( sound_ID );
end


Hope this helps to find the bug. If you need something else just shoot.

haha :P Great to hear that! :D

i think it could be to do with this line:
physics.addTrigger(waypoint[i],1)


which creates a bodyid, and i see not removal of this body, so will have to check that this is functioning correctly :)

thanks for the report ;)

Edit: You might find that this is not a bug, but looks that way on the surface as probably is deleted when the entity is removed and the print you see, is a physics system cleanup... but we shall find the root of the issue :)

Great! :D

Have another question: is the gui.setPosY(bodyId, ElementID, y) function working? Just to check if I'm doing something wrong or not... I'm trying to move gui elements in one direction (vertical in this case), applying the same tweening function I used in the menu camera.

yes, it should be.. all it does is sets the RCSS property - "top".
just make sure your sending it through the lua command as a number and not a string :)

Hi there,

made some progress on the race scene... basically playing with the HUD elements :D

What is working so far:
- Lap Counter
- Race Timer + Best Lap
- Speedometer
- Minimap, showing player and items
- Fuel/Health/Nitro/Record Info Panels

To Do:
- Standing (need ai cars)
- Tachometer
- Fuel and Nitro needles and systems

Hope you like it!

Great work planetX :) Amazing work as usual and great to see the racer in Gen2 looking really good :) :)
Shadows are quite close though arent they :P haha... (joke about Gen1 lol :P)
Love the sliding GUI overlay, works really well and the minimap i'm still jealous over lol...

I think it would be good to start posting about your game(lastest gui vide and racing vid) in the http://www.forum.aurasoft-skyline.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=9 (which showcases will be moved onto the root of the forum for quicker access).
also post it on the #project_showcase on the discord chat as i'm sure they would love to see it on there also :)
