Run sbx scene outside the editor

[gordonramp]

Great to be exploring the new editor. I need something clarified. When I make a scene which is saved as a .sbx file, how do I run that outside the editor? Can I run it with the Lua Engine? I found the spinning cube in Lua but is there any example Lua code to run a .sbx scene.

LoadScene(), just like in C++.

Mmm, so there is no Lua example of how to run a scene which has been exported from the Editor No offense but I find that rather strange.

hey G... in the root directory there are two example scripts that can be loaded and run from the script editor...

 

also... here's a quick and dirty example that worked for a scene i did in the editor... give it a try... substitue your scene path and set the camera so you can see the scene (or spin it)...

 

 

--Register abstract path
RegisterAbstractPath("")

--Set graphics mode
if Graphics(1024,768)==0 then
Notify("Failed to set graphics mode.",1)
return
end

world=CreateWorld()
if world==nil then
Notify("Failed to initialize engine.",1)
return
end

gbuffer=CreateBuffer(GraphicsWidth(),GraphicsHeight(),1+2+4+8)

camera=CreateCamera()
camera:SetPosition(Vec3(4,1,-10))
camera:Turnf(0.0,42,0.0)



scene=LoadScene("abstract::myfirst230.sbx")


while AppTerminate()==0 do

--camera:Turnf(0,AppSpeed()/12,0)
UpdateAppTime()
world:Update(AppSpeed())

SetBuffer(gbuffer)
world:Render()
SetBuffer(BackBuffer())
world:RenderLights(gbuffer)

DrawText(UPS(),0,0)
Flip(0)
end 

 

 

good luck...

Theoretically when you add this code block to the fpscontroller.lua, after the line fw=GetGlobalObject("framewerk"), it should make it runnable from outside Editor, but for some reason it crashes. Maybe Josh could check why?:

if fw==nil then
--Register abstract path
RegisterAbstractPath("")

--Set graphics mode
if Graphics(1024,768)==0 then
	Notify("Failed to set graphics mode.",1)
	return
end

--Create framewerk object and set it to a global object so other scripts can access it
fw=CreateFramewerk()
if fw==nil then
	Notify("Failed to initialize engine.",1)
	return
end
SetGlobalObject("framewerk",fw)
fw.main.camera.position.y=20
scene=LoadScene("abstract::tunnels.sbx")
end

If you change it to load train.sbx, then it doesn't crash, but the player doesn't collide with the terrain.

I tried scene:SetType(1), but there is no such command.

Hi Red..

That code partialy works,no skybox turns up..I also adapted the spinning cube by just adding the LoadScene() command, that also worked, but again no atmospherics.

 

Lumooga..

That's what is needed, a first person example (with and without a gun) that runs in Lua outside the Editor.
