Asteroids style wrap around code problem
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Asteroids style wrap around code problem
| ||
| Hi all, Please take the time to look at the following code. As you can see, it is a simple asteroids style game where you use the mouse to rotate and thrust with the mouse button. I have used X and Z in 3D to emulate 2D. I just want the rock to wrap around the other side without popping. To see it happen, just follow the asteroid :) I must be able to use proper coordinates for the rocks and players seperately from the render positions. This is because of multiplayer. Please see the minimap and examine the pop-in to understand how I must have proper positions and a render position. The tempx var will eventually reposition everything so there is no pop-in. At the moment I cannot work it out... Any help appreciated as usual! :) ;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;NOTE: I have removed Z movement (we only use x and z anyway) ;Mouse button to thrust and mouse to rotate. Only X movment for now.

| This looks essentially correct with one exception. You are wrapping player and rock positions. Before rendering you must also wrap tempx, i.e. position of rock relative to player. This is simpler with a function for wrapping: Function wrap#( u# ) w2# = 2.0 * worldsize u = u Mod w2 If u < -worldsize Then Return u + w2 If u > +worldsize Then Return u - w2 Return u End Function Then the movement code is reduced to this: x = wrap( x + vx ) ; move player rx = wrap( rx + rvx ) ; move rock vx = vx * 0.99 ; friction TurnEntity ship, 0, -mxspd * 0.1, 0 PositionEntity rock, wrap( rx - x ), 0, 0 |

| Thats really marvellous, thanks a million Floyd. I don't know how you managed to work it out. Perfect! :) |
