:? Hmm, personally I'd prefer the Identity of Clones to be static ( indexing pointers to the objects in a single array ) instead of automatically changing when older Clones are destroyed. Also I'd rather not have clones categorized by Model type, since this makes it all the more difficult to set up ...

:idea: As Ville is addressing the Scripting language, wouldn't it be useful to assign a Identifier ( int ) to each spawned Clone, and being able to access that Clone through a ZExpression using for example 21.Position.X ( 21 being the Identifier )? And while you're at it, don't forget the CollidedCl...

Hi guys, Extra texture slots would be desirable for normal maps and such indeed. Chrome is all about high reflection, low diffuse / specularity. Unfortunately, to pull this off best ( especially with objects that self-reflect ), you need to render a reflection map ( dynamically or pre-rendered ). He...

By request, a torus with calculated normals ( unusual subdivisions to illustrate normals ).

Code: Select all

this.V.X = cos(U)*cos(V)*Size+cos(U)*Radius;
this.V.Y = sin(U)*cos(V)*Size+sin(U)*Radius;
this.V.Z = sin(V)*Size;

this.N.X = cos(U)*cos(V)*Size;
this.N.Y = sin(U)*cos(V)*Size;
this.N.Z = this.V.Z;

By the way,

Here's a useful debug setup while working with centerMouse. It uses the Escape key to toggle Debug state as it's the only hard-coded key in executables & unused in the Editor.

Let's try a spring.

Code: Select all

this.V.X = (Pi+Radius*cos(V))*cos(U*Length);
this.V.Y = (Pi+Radius*cos(V))*sin(U*Length);
this.V.Z = Radius*(sin(V)+Period*U*Length/Pi);

Followed by, a pillow.

Code: Select all

this.V.X = cos(U);
this.V.Y = cos(V);
this.V.Z = (sin(U)*sin(V))/Pi*2;

Next, a teardrop.

Code: Select all

this.V.X = 0.5*(1-cos(U))*sin(U)*cos(V);
this.V.Y = 0.5*(1-cos(U))*sin(U)*sin(V);
this.V.Z = cos(U);

8) A collection of useful ( and not so useful ) procedurally generated meshes. All generated with a Grid2DOnly MeshBox using U and V coordinates ranging from -Pi to Pi ( unless notified ). First up, a diamond cluster. this.V.X = (2+sin(U)*sin(V*4))*sin(V)*-1; this.V.Y = (2+sin(U)*sin(V*4))*cos(V); t...

Solved for now by splitting the Stereo ( currently unsupported ) sample into two separate Mono samples.

Come-on guys,

These kind of things aren't that difficult ( middle-school level math ). I've attached a basic implementation of that Torus ( excluding offsetting the X / Y coords depending on the Radius angle ) to get you under way.

No idea why you'd ever want to use such a thing though ..

Since there currently doesn't seem to be a way to play back samples unfiltered / unprocessed ( when approaching the native playback speed of a sample, it starts sounding rather metallic / hollow ), a Sample and PlaySample component would be welcomed.

Hmm,

Minor issue, when accessing Arrays from ZExpressions, it is not possible to use any assignments other then "=". So for example "Array[0] += 1" doesn't work.

Hey guys,

The most important thing I can think of is performance. When you for example have a large level that you can split up in arena's, you only want to check collision with objects that are in the area you're currently in.

Hi guys,

Not sure whether it makes any difference or not, but what is the most appropriate place to define global variables? In OnLoaded or Content? Just wondering ..
