ZGameEditor forum

Hi, even though ZGE also supports Mac, Linux and Android targets, it is currently only the Window target that is up to date. The reason for this is that I don't have current Freepascal installations that allow me to build ZGE for those platforms (and it is quite time consuming to set this up, unfor...

Hello. Iv'e been testing a game made with Zgame editor on multiple machines. Iv'e found on a SyncMaster monitor 1920x1080 resolution the monitor refresh isn't synced with the game, meaning the top half of the screen is refreshing faster than the bottom half of the screen causing a sort of subtle tea...

Hey Iv'e been trying out an old shader code, I can post a link to it later but i’m on another computer right now. Anyway the shader makes objects fade into the distance, but I’ve found when applied to models with a transparent "Black rgb 000" background the transparency stops working and I...

Hi, I am trying to compile a game in zgame editor so that it will run on a Mac, im using windows. When I try to compile the game I get an error message, saying it doesn’t have the required files. I know this is probably already in another thread but can someone please point me in the direction of th...

I’ll certainly post it on here when it’s complete :) The framerate is stable and then suddenly (when the levels loaded again) it becomes slower, then upon leaving the level (entering other game states) the speed goes back to normal. It doesn’t seem to get any slower either. Another thing I noticed, ...

Hi there, I've been making a game in Z-game editor (this is actually a different one to the last game I mentioned on these forums) but I’ve run into a little problem and I’m not sure of the cause. So first a bit of background, The game is a first person perspective game and if the player dies (from ...

Thanks Kjell, I'll try that out and see how it goes.

Hi, i was wondering how would one go about spawning a new model so that it's positioned say, relative to the right side of the model that spawns it. Now I understand that you could set the offset to be like x+0.54 to place it to the right, however if it’s a 3d model and your facing it from a differe...

Shaders aren't necessary for what I'm trying to do, I'd be happy if it were a single color. I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, but I'd describe the effect as looking like a projectile that spawns a continuous trail of shrinking objects in it's wake(without viable gaps)., kind of l...

Hey, I'm trying to make a "trail" that's left behind after a projectile, in a non 2d perspective. Not a smoke trail, but more like a solid beam. I'm just wondering what options are there for rendering such an effect? I've tried spawning models with a simple stretch/shrink animation on upda...

Thank you for the code examples Kjell

Er, I'm still having a bit of an issue directing moving objects. I find that this works when run on model update: CurrentModel.Rotation.Y=Atan2(CurrentModel.velocity.x,CurrentModel.velocity.Z)/(PI*2); But it only sets the direction for objects moving in a circle and not up and down. How can we set C...

Ahah, cool cool. I suspected that was the problem.

Thanks Kjell. The example works after making those changes, also thank you for pointing out my mistakes. This is very helpful to me as I don't get feedback very often, so I never know if I'm doing things in a smart way or not. One other thing, how can we adjust the rotational direction (adjust headi...
