Simple function

[YouGroove]

I want to use GotPoint() in a modified GoblinAI lua file.

 

 

function Script:UpdatePhysics()

 

local time=Time:GetCurrent()

 

self.entity:GoToPoint(20,-25,0,1.4,1);

 

--Check for a new target in the area

if not self.target then

...

It don't works, the character where i have binded AnimationManager and my new Lua File with the code above don't move (i put character controller for physics also in the editor)

 

Does anyone have some idea ?

 

self.entity refers to the 3D model on the scene (binded to that script) , or i'm wrong ?

Here is my code for simple AI i attached to a character model :

 

 

 

function Script:Start()

if self.entity:GetMass()==0 then self.entity:SetMass(1.0) end

--self.mass = self.entity:GetMass()-- save initial mass value

--self.entity:SetMass(0)

end

 

 

function Script:UpdatePhysics()

local time=Time:GetCurrent()

self.entity:GoToPoint(20,-25,0,1.4,1);

self.entity.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence(self.sequence.walk,0.04,200)

end

 

 

 

function Script:Cleanup()

ReleaseTableObjects(Script.sound)

end

Why this not works ?

[Chris Vossen]

self.entity:GoToPoint(20,-25,0,1.4,1);

 

So Entity::GoToPoint will move the entity if a path is available. The coordinate system is setup such that Y is "up" so -25 would be below the ground and no path will be found. Try changing it to 0.

My fault, doing copy/paste and not pay attention to the function parameters.

Thanks a lot it worked

 

 

I put some imported FBX model, i select rigid body collision with fit shape , but the character only avoid BSP and seems to go throught models.

Perhaps a bug, or does the function only works in BSP geometry ?

Try setting the nav obstacle parameter to true, it's the bottom most check mark on the physics tab

 

 

One helpful setting that you can use if you are working with the navigation system, is to turn on the show navigation in the editor. View->Show Navigation

 

 

hopefully this helps

Thanks Chris

 

I had nav obstacle to true already and it was a box rigid body , but it didn' appear on the physic view.

 

I clicked on FIT SHAPE and it worked, the cube collision appeared on the physic view.

 

That's strange , could not the "FIT SHAPE" automatically process when you put some object you want collision on it ?

What is the interest to have to click on FIT SHAPE ?
