3D Scripting?

[Zanzel]

I have been talking to Twinny about this, his
3D rotating ship is really impressive, just wondering how I would
go about 3D Scripting.. a good starting refference,
the wiki was useful on vectors, those are really easy

[DustyPorViva]

What 3D rotating ship? I wanna see!

[Admins]

Will update the wiki in a few days and also add some 3d examples (displaying 3d in 2d)

I wrote the articles on vectors, if you want anything in specific math-wise for 3D, (perhaps the distance to the nearest wall, or how to bounce a ball off a strange surface, or the like) I can help there...

Basics well first, adjust your Server Config so .3ds, .dts, .ft files are downloadable. Make a model and save it in to one of those formats. Next just use basic showimg controls.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() 
{
  
  switchtoOpenGL();

  with ( findImg( 501)) {
    shape = "file.3ds";
    x     = this.x;
    y     = this.y;
  }

  onTimeout();
}

function onTimeout() 
{

  if ( keydown( 1))
    findImg( 501).rotation += 1;
  
  else if ( keydown( 3))
    findImg( 501)).rotation -= 1;

  setTimer( 0.05);
} 


Invern basically helped me out with this so thank him not me.

.rotation? We're working with 3d models here! I'll try and make nice script to manipulate 3d objects.

Did you say /opengl ?

Goes to "starting 3d mode" then nothing happens.

There seems to be some problems with OpenGL for me . All along I thought that I was doing something wrong with my own 3D tests, but the same funky things are happening with the Litheria ship. The GUI Controls are going out of control.

Do you have truefonts downloaded for your gui texts?

Nice work Twinny.


And for those it doesnt work for;

First say "/opengl", and if the ship doesnt display after that - restart your Graal client. When you log back on, say "/opengl" again - and voilá.

I pointed this out in another thread. OpenGL needs fonts which i've only ever found on Login. Try running graal with -opengl added. For instance, "CProgram Files\Graal\Graal4.exe" -opengl . When you go to login, it should download alot of files and slowly the serverlist will look normal.

Nice, that did the trick. Stefan will probably clean that up at some point.
