EntityX/Y/X bug
BlitzMax Forums/MiniB3D Module/EntityX/Y/X bug
| ||
| I'm trying to get a mesh's child x/y/z position but EntityX(true) and Entity(false) returns the same value. Does the global parameter not work? Any way around this? Thanks |
| ||
| I think somebody posted a similar problem, how about in openb3d? |
| ||
| I would try openb3d, but I'm having some difficulties getting it to work. When Blide builds the mod, it always fails on all except openb3dstd. What am I doing wrong? I haven't used bmax in a while.. |
| ||
| Ok I see. The current version of OpenB3D is broken so you need to get the working version. Here's the download link: https://github.com/markcwm/openb3d.mod/archive/f152c0280812508814e7bf81f336eacf7d9b65cd.zip That should now work now. I can't check for minib3d as I don't fully used or tested it but both version has pros and cons. |

| It has to do with what origin to get the coordinates relative to. When you specify True, for "global" mode, the origin considered is that of the world. This is called world-space. When you specify False, for "local" mode, the origin considered is that of the parent entity. The coordinates of the entity will be given relative to its parent (how far the entity is located or rotated from its parent). If the entity does not have a parent or if that parent is positioned and aligned perfectly with the world origin then the global and local modes will give the same coordinates. |

| Rusty, Thank you, but I'm still having trouble getting it to build. The mod is definitely in the right folder, as shown here. Here are the errors. ►openb3d.b3dglgraphics was scheduled to next iteration Compile Error: Can't find interface for module 'openb3d.openb3dex' [e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/b3dglgraphics.mod/b3dglgraphics.bmx;36;1] Build Error: failed to compile e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/b3dglgraphics.mod/b3dglgraphics.bmx ►openb3d.b3dsound was scheduled to next iteration Compile Error: Can't find interface for module 'openb3d.openb3dex' [e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/b3dsound.mod/b3dsound.bmx;43;1] Build Error: failed to compile e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/b3dsound.mod/b3dsound.bmx ►openb3d.openb3d was scheduled to next iteration Compile Error: Can't find interface for module 'openb3d.openb3dlib' [e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/openb3d.mod/openb3d.bmx;36;1] Build Error: failed to compile e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/openb3d.mod/openb3d.bmx ►openb3d.openb3dex was scheduled to next iteration Compile Error: Can't find interface for module 'openb3d.openb3dlib' [e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/openb3dex.mod/openb3dex.bmx;36;1] Build Error: failed to compile e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/openb3dex.mod/openb3dex.bmx ►openb3d.openb3dlib was scheduled to next iteration e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/openb3dlib.mod/openb3d/src/3ds.cpp: In function `void load3ds::ReadTriMesh()': e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/openb3dlib.mod/openb3d/src/3ds.cpp:237: error: no match for 'operator!=' in 'it != std::list<_Tp, _Alloc>::rend() [with _Tp = int, _Alloc = std::allocator<int>]()' e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/openb3dlib.mod/openb3d/src/3ds.cpp: In function `Mesh* load3ds::Load3ds(std::string, Entity*)': e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/openb3dlib.mod/openb3d/src/3ds.cpp:382: error: no match for 'operator!=' in 'it != std::list<_Tp, _Alloc>::rend() [with _Tp = int, _Alloc = std::allocator<int>]()' Build Error: failed to compile e:/BlitzMax/mod/openb3d.mod/openb3dlib.mod/openb3d/src/3ds.cpp ►►►►openb3d.b3dglgraphics was not built.

Kryzon, Yes, that's how it should work. But I'm getting the same values for global and local. The child is not at the origin and it does have a parent. |

| By looking at your errors, it looks like it has existing .bmx files there. Try a clean folder install. Do not do overwrite. You can keep a backup of your previous copy and move it away just to be sure. |
| ||
| I did a clean install of bmx and I still receive the same errors. |
| ||
| Ok try this build. If you are familiar with Git commit history, you can always go back one commit at a time. I think this now works Download: https://github.com/markcwm/openb3d.mod/archive/ee46c00923ff33f3b132876e28f8b69527ad3580.zip This is "Forgot TTexture" commit 3 months ago. https://github.com/markcwm/openb3d.mod/commit/ee46c00923ff33f3b132876e28f8b69527ad3580 For comparison, I'm using Vanilla BMX 1.5 with MinGW 4.8.1 |

| Finally got it to build. Had to reinstall mingw. I don't remember what version it was, but I got Nuwems MinGW 4.6.1 from this post: http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=96946 |
| ||
| Well, the global argument seems to work. I'm not sure if the local one does considering GetChild method does not work properly as this was discussed last week: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=106665 |
| ||
| That's great. It really depends on your requirement so I'm not saying you give up on either one of them. I got a personal openb3d project that does not need those commands so obviously I have not found any issue. |
