I just did a bit of stress testing on the project, and your adjustment works very well (no lagging when two things are seen simultaneously.

Thanks again! I am going to work on hearing now. I might run into some issues with getSoundGain(). we will see.

Well, thanks anyway Akira_san, very much. I will just continue without the sound. Thanks again.

function Speak()
    if isCollisionBetween(eyes,box) then
        if soundplay == 0 then
            playSound(seeBox)
        soundplay = 1
        end
    else 
        soundplay = 0
    end
    
    if isCollisionBetween(eyes,monkey) then
        if soundplay == 0 then
            playSound(seeMonkey)
        end
        soundplay = 1
    else
        soundplay = 0
    end

    if  isCollisionBetween(eyes,building) then
        if soundplay == 0 then
            playSound(seeBuilding)
        end
        soundplay = 1
    else
        soundplay = 0
    end
end

That is how I have it set up now, but it is still doing the skipping.
I think the issue might be how I set up the scene. I am going to package the project and post it here.

Well, I was hoping to find my answer here, guess I have to try elsewhere.

I stumbled across something interesting when wondering if I can use a function as an argument:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1698 … ter-in-lua

function init() 
     print("init");
end

block = { 
     startup = init
}

They also say the two examples below are the same:

function foo()
end

foo = function()
end

Okay, I am running into an issue. I am checking a collision between two objects, using the isCollisionBetween() function.

if there is a collision between the two objects, I trigger a sound. I call this under the onSceneUpdate() function and it is trying the sound tries to trigger 60 times per second as long as the collision is happening.

I just want the sound to finish playing first and then stop. I guess I would need a function similar to isAnimationOver() but called isSoundOver().

When I call the it outside of the update function, it doesn't work at all. Any tips? I am using this to let the character speak upon seeing an object.

Yes. The senses script is Lua.

Good idea about the starter packs for genres. I downloaded about 2,000 sounds yesterday. The file size is getting big. For the sounds and fonts I am at 350mb. So splitting it up by genres would be better.

I need to finish working on this "Senses System" I have. The system works like AI sort of. So far, I have it where if an object sees another object, it will veer left or right. It can also jump when it sees an object. It is sort of like a physics based AI system that can be applied to anything.

Good idea. Currently I use the script from the Jules demo for third person characters, and the script from Sponza for 1st person.

I have a character controller script myself, but it is not finished. The example scripts is a good idea. Vegas has made a few already, if he doesn't mind, I would like to add them to the starter pack. Right now I have about 1,000 free fonts in the project, and I re-did the primitives so that they rotate about their centers.

I should be able to make a male and female character with idle, walking, and jumping animations, for testing, but that will be last, as I want it to be good.

Perhaps a few small scripts for standard motions could be added. For example, a script that makes an object move left to right continuously.

If you are using Windows, you should be able to associate .lua files with notepad++ by right-clicking a .lua file and going to properties and then to "Change" next to "Opens with" and choosing the notepad++ exe file.
