Smart types
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Smart types

| I have recently found how to use types but now I am trying to get my ai file to update the type units but blitz3d says that the types can't do that what am I doing wrong? |
| ||
| Post some example code otherwise nobody will understand your question. |
| ||
| okay type beast field entity end type (here's where it goes arwy) for s.beast=each beast if entitydistance(s/entity,player)< 45 then pointentity s/entity,player animateentity s/entity (I don't remember) moveentity s/entity,0,0,.7 endif next this hasn't worked so far what's going on? |
| ||
| you have no beasts? 1) Post some code that does something 2) Say what it doesnt do 3) Say what is supposed to do The error (for example), may be that each baests Forward isnt the same as the model, so pointentity is making the back point to the player. But without more information than "here's where it goes arwy" who can tell? |

| here is my code Graphics3D 600,400,32,2 SeedRnd(MilliSecs()) units=1 floors=2 Type beast Field entity End Type player=CreatePivot() camera=CreateCamera(player) PositionEntity camera,0,3,0 EntityType player,units Global beast=CreateCube() PositionEntity beast,0,5,0 EntityColor beast,255,0,0 EntityType beast,units HideEntity beast ground=CreatePlane() PositionEntity ground,0,-3,0 EntityType ground,floors Collisions units,units,2,3 Collisions units,floors,2,3 While Not KeyHit(1) If KeyHit(2) Then s.beast=New beast s\entity=CopyEntity(beast) PositionEntity beast,Rnd(-20,20),5,Rnd(-20,20) EndIf For s.beast=Each beast If EntityDistance(s\entity,player)<45 Then PointEntity s\entity,player MoveEntity s\entity,0,0,.3 EndIf Next this is what is wrong For s.beast=Each beast gravity(s/entity,1) Next it says arithmetic operatior cannot be applied to custom type objects gravity(player,1) ;keymovement If KeyDown(17) Then MoveEntity player,0,0,.5 If KeyDown(31) Then MoveEntity player,0,0,-.5 If KeyDown(30) Then MoveEntity player,-.5,0,0 If KeyDown(32) Then MoveEntity player,.5,0,0 ;Mouse movement Local x_speed#,y_speed# x_speed=(MouseXSpeed()-x_speed)/2+x_speed y_speed=(MouseYSpeed()-y_speed)/2+y_speed MoveMouse 320,240 TurnEntity player,0,-x_speed,0 TurnEntity camera,-y_speed,0,0 UpdateWorld RenderWorld Flip Wend End Function gravity(unit$,speed#) TranslateEntity Unit$,0,-speed#,0 End Function |

It's a typo, the slash should be a backslash:;this is what is wrong For s.beast=Each beast gravity(s\entity,1) ;;; <------- here Next |
| ||
| thank you so much! also the cube I have replaced with a spider.b3d when I do this For s.beast=Each beast If EntityDistance(s\entity,player)<45 Then PointEntity s\entity,player MoveEntity s\entity,0,0,.3 ; it says that there is no animation animate s\entity ; but I thought that it was and exact copy of the animated.b3d EndIf Next |
| ||
| maybe your using "Loadmesh" and not "LoadAnimMesh"?? |
| ||
| once again thank you now my ai works perfectly I'll post a demo in a week or two |
| ||
| here's a random question but what did the programers use to create blitz3d? |
| ||
| I believe it was C++: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=42657 |
| ||
| that's what I thought because I tried running it on an older computer and the computer said the visual c++ wasn't right |
| ||
| You mean, you ran blitz3d on an older computer, and you got a c++ error ? That's interesting ? |
| ||
| well they were ohh 1998, what was weird was blitz wouldn't run but maplet ran hella fast I had good textures loaded, no lag what so ever |
| ||
| speaking of maplet how would I go about finding code that creates shadows like that? |
| ||
| It is called a lightmapper. I think you can find a code example for that in the code archives on this site. |
| ||
| oh okay thanks |
