Hi all. Here's my Commando Teaser trailer. In case you never frequent the competition thread.

You may wonder how I did this. Don't worry all will be revealed, once I am happy with it. It's still WIP, but works a charm

@ I'mchasinyou, Youtube sometimes does that. Try going to the page and refreshing it if it still has issues.

@ Auger and AuShadow, thanks, glad you noticed it. It was my main reason for making the post's tile a little dramatic I have coded it in DB.

@DVader, if that menu was written in DBPRO then the 3D engine for the scene isn't FPSCR, correct? I think you might have a problem with your entry if you go that route. They want to showcase what FPSCR can do and adding on an additional exe with a differe

@ tomjscott, well I have considered this, but it is doubtful. I'll give them all the info, they can use it with or without the intro. As to the 3D scene's at the start, they were both made in FPSCR and do not run in DB via it's 3D engine. Smoke and mirror

Well, good luck in any case. It looks very cool. I think the text is not bad at all.

Good luck to you also, and anyone else entering the compo. Currently I'm having a few issues with some stuff that is not making me happy. Not good news for the deadline, as the final tweaks are taking ages! Getting better fps than I did since the update, but still have a couple of issues that make progress difficult.

Well, there's a few, and only Lee and the rest of the team can sort most At the minute I'm having an issue finding entity ID's so I can point to their data correctly. I normally use smallg's script for displaying the entity ID. However in my game at present it stops working before I get to the object I need to check Because the level crashes after one test, I am not keen on disabling scripts in attempt to find the culprit causing it, if any. Having to break the game to find the object ID is a little annoying. if you or anyone knows an easier way to find it that would help Otherwise I have to start disabling stuff one by one. If the level didn't crash so quickly (or at all preferably) I would have a bit more confidence changing stuff.

It's all part of the fun I try to tell myself. Adding a feature that I imagined would take a minute, has so far taken 2 hours with no luck!

You can get an entity's id easily but simply adding an init script to the entity and assigning a global variable to its e value.



Put the init function above the entity's main function. Create a global variable in the global.lua file. And you have it.

Sounds a good solution Of course I think it would be a good thing for Reloaded to have the entity ID in each objects properties in the future. It would make things far less laborious and would be simple to add. Thanks for the idea! It may help me get past this issue

This is what I use:

PlayerDX = g_Entity[e]['x'] - g_PlayerPosX;
PlayerDY = g_Entity[e]['y'] - g_PlayerPosY;
PlayerDZ = g_Entity[e]['z'] - g_PlayerPosZ;
PlayerDist = math.sqrt(math.abs(PlayerDX*PlayerDX)+math.abs(PlayerDY*PlayerDY)+math.abs(PlayerDZ*PlayerDZ));
if PlayerDist < 100 then
Prompt ( "Zombie ID is " .. e )
end

Why? Why make a script and run the test game and approach the entity to get its ID when you can just store it off from the init function of the entity itself?

Or you could "store it off from the init function of the entity itself"

I finally worked round the issue, using the init code you posted. I'm still remembering the number and using in the script direct, but at least I have got round it! Put me back 3 days lol, but I've made progress now. Very weird how smallg's script worked fine for the first part of the level, then just stops beyond a certain point though.

Probably because of the script execution range limit issue that I discovered last night. I posted the information on that in the following thread.

I have pretty much finished the game now. At least I need to take a break from it and don't like last minute rushes! So uploaded it today to make sure I have time to re-upload if I have to.

So, now I can leave it for awhile I'm working on updating the intro menu system so anyone can add it to their projects. I'll post news as and when, but I don't think it will take me too long.
