Camera =getObject("Camera0")
player = getObject("Entity0") 



function onSceneUpdate()
colorr=math.random(0, 2)
colorg=math.random(0, 2)
colorb=math.random(0, 2)




getX = getAxis("MOUSE_X")
getY = getAxis("MOUSE_Y")

var1 = updateMatrix(getX)
print (var1)



Camera = getCurrentCamera()
setCameraClearColor(Camera, {colorr, colorg, colorb})




end

i'm trying to set the position of player to mouse position but when i use "getAxis("MOUSE_X") it throws out a strange float, what can i do with this data?

It loops repeatedly, but I'm not sure why, could anyone help?

So, I created a game in which the graphics were made entirely separate from the scripts. All of the basic scripts were created inside of a test environment. They work in that area.
Now, however, when I have applied the scripts to the larger level (which has roughly 400 objects), there are certain areas that nonsensically just don't work. I'm thinking it has something  to do with the amount objects inside of the level. If it is necessary to  split the area up into different levels, then it is fine to do so.
Although, is there something I should be doing differently as far as object properties/code?

    if (isKeyPressed('UP')) then
        offset = offset < 3 and offset + 0.2 or offset
        setBehaviorVariable(camera, 1, 'offset', {0, 7, 2 + offset})
    end
   
    if (isKeyPressed('DOWN')) then
        offset = offset > -3 and offset - 0.2 or offset
        setBehaviorVariable(camera, 1, 'offset', {0, 7, 2 + offset})
    end

this area used to work fine, but for some reason it hates the down key now. When I press the down key, Maratis freezes, returns errors of certain objects not existing (as a result of it freezing), and forces me to exit the program.
I can even comment out the up key section entirely and it simply just hates the down key

Another area:
    if (isKeyPressed('SPACE')) then
        if (coll > 1) then
            addCentralForce(player, {0, 0, 20})
            changeAnimation(playerMesh, 2)
        end
    end

this makes the program not be able to present any kind of recognition to pressing keys and freezes, but i can still hit esc.
the game throws the error for the line if(coll >1)then

Would it be easy to add this to Maratis? If so, how would I go about doing it?

Sphere = getObject("Sphere")

function onSceneUpdate()

    bullet = getClone(Sphere)
    translate(bullet, {0, 1, 0}, "local")

end

Now, I can get the position of the Sphere using getPosition(Sphere). But how can I get the position of the bullet? I tried using the same getPosition function, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone can help?

The first one I made was a script that plays a sound after a number of seconds. This script scared me, because you can't really anticipate the sound.

SoundOnTimer:

--TIME--

knock = getObject("Knock")
 i = 0

function soundOnTimer(seconds,sound)
    i = i + 1
    t = i/60
    
    if t > seconds then
        playSound(sound)
         i = 0
    end
end

function onSceneUpdate()
        soundOnTimer(10,knock)
end

I know that there are some discussions about how to make buttons in Maratis. Unfortunately, after doing some search and test, I still can't create buttons using rayHit (sorry for my noobiness ). So I tried to follow this tutorial about getUnProjectedPoint but I got stuck again.
In my scene, I have three buttons: moveLeft, rotate, and moveRight. I want to use those buttons to move and rotate a cube.

Following the tutorial, I can make the rotation button to rotate the cube. However, when I moved the mouse cursor over the other buttons (moveLeft and moveRight), the cube also rotating. Can someone give me a hint of how to fix my script?

Here is the project file to download. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wzh0ioat20q8v … r_test.zip
And here is the script based on the documentation:

moveRight = getObject("moveRight")
moveLeft = getObject("moveLeft")
Rotate = getObject("Rotate")
Cube = getObject("Cube")
Camera = getObject("Camera")

point = getUnProjectedPoint(Camera, vec3(x, y, z))

function onSceneUpdate()
  mx = getAxis("MOUSE_X")
  my = getAxis("MOUSE_Y")    
    
  V1 = getUnProjectedPoint(Camera, vec3(mx, my, 0))
  V2 = getUnProjectedPoint(Camera, vec3(mx, my, 1))
    
  point, Rotate = rayHit(V1, V2)

  if point then
    rotate(Cube, {0, 0, 1}, 4)
  end 

--[[
  if point then
    translate(Cube, {1, 0, 0}, 2)
  end 
  ]]--
  
end

Thanks for any help.

I'm also using this thread to tell you that you can add custom script functions using c++ plugin (using the MScriptContext class)
http://www.maratis3d.org/engine_docs/cl … ntext.html (it's a basic lua wrapper)

If you used it and would like to share your additional functions to be added to the next Maratis release, please tell us

I'm sure this is possible in C++, but I'm curious if this is possible with the lua api.
