Search options (Page 5 of 16)

That's right i understand what you mean,  but i'm still prefering the second option, as hiding some part of the screen could lead to more trouble (for example let's say a turret that starts shooting when it's visible, it will start shooting even when it's hide by the interface)

And thanks for you proposal, i can *try* to compile but will it fix the isActive(object) too ?

No problem got some more stuff coming, just need time to make the scripts
less ridiculous, that's the major difficulty to me

Added a new very small example, graphic used is a CC0 item from OGA (can't find back the link right now)

Nice TD, that's pretty neat
I tried for a long time to make sci-fi stuff like in your terminal picture,
i found some cool tricks in the process, gonna dig in my files see if i still have them, that might interest you (or not lol)

Yeah, i think using single textures/materials is a waste of time in blender, as there's no library system,
you'll loose control no matter what.

I think the best solution is to use single texture atlases, that allow you to map alot of stuff
with a single texture, such as this :

Modular Buildings Assets
or Batman Arkham City models analysis
or Working with Modular assets
or Single Atlas Building

This is working ok, but there is a probleme in blender apparently, the textures are "bleeding" on each other even if the edges are perfectly lined up in the UV map window (example here on a pixelart scaled up texture atlas :

But even if there was no problem, how am i supposed to draw decals (because seamless textures alone are visually ugly), then bake AO, with everything perfectly set up.. this is where i abandonned.

Ah hell, don't tell me about ! that's a true pain.

And about the interface yes, i hope they will add some  "customisable pannels" where you could put in everything you need, so you don't have to constantly open non-sense menu/submenus

Haha seriously you can be thankful i didn't posted these files.
Ultra messed up script (timers up-side-down // dofiles at every corner), boxes everywhere and broken animations,
Anyone with minimal common sense would have run away

But i'm improving

It's not very practical but it works fine, too bad i had a perfect exemple project for this, that went
to hell when i lost massive data

Thing is you must think twice before building your gui otherwise if you must tweak something,
it will be so confusing that you will need to rewrite everything (probably multiple times)

Also i don't think you can make some stuff like :
- text scrolling inside a box for dialogues (and that's an important point )
- like you said, sliders

I am still dreaming of a GameSWF integration to maratis, that would solve all problems i guess

Great ! you even fixed my spawpoints, i always wondered how to spawn clones like that, thanks alot

Hi ant0n, there's a last problem ;

The crazy frame rate drop still exist, but i think i know what is it.

In my theory that's because the items in the table stay active all the time.
When you have a long behavior for an object, even if the object got deactivated, the entry in the table is not, and it's still running in the background, so it's almost  the same as if the object wasn't deactivated.
Then after a while, the table just gets too big and the game crash no matter what.

Note it's only my theory, maybe it's a lot of bull. But i don't see what else it can be

For now i've tried to remove items from the table/reset the table when my object collide with another object
but as usual, nothing worked.

Looks like i need your help again

I could upload a test project if u wish

I made test in a empty project, just took the script you posted , duplicated it and renamed some stuff ;
Script (some lines space might be broken)

i tried to make use of isCollisionBetween(object, object) everywhere i could, with  :

self.object
Apple.object
appleList[count]
appleList[i]
appleList[1]
for i=0, #appleList do

I also tried to rename

    self.__index = self

As they where the same in both class (that changed nothing)

Thanks guys gonna make some experiments with this
