Just to note, movement animations will overrule and disable scripted animations, so if the AI/Player is moving they won't play the animation. You could mount an invisible weaponImage and have the animation play as a recoil animation.

Select a player in the editor and go to shapeEditor->hints and it will display all the bones/nodes that that type of object expects or can have. Bip01, etc is mostly used for spine blending for recoil animations. http://i.imgur.com/ynpiciI.png

I've had a bit more of play around using the subExplosion type found in explosion.cpp/h: //projectile.h class ProjectileData : public GameBaseData { //... public: enum ExplosionConsts { EC_MAX_EXPLOSIONS = 4, }; // variables set in datablock definition: //...

Looking good, Nils! :D

Projectiles are a little boring having only one explosion and if you want to use an animated particle sprite sheet or an explosion model it's going to get even more repetitive. Here's the general idea, the projectile has up to 4 explosion datablocks instead of 1. On exploding the projectile looks up how many explosion datablocks in can reference and then randomly chooses one. If it can't find any additional explosions it will default to the single stock one. Obviously you can do the same with water explosions, but ehre I'm only using dirt/dry explosions. I am currently in "art mode" so here's a - **warning of terrible C++ ahead** - feel free to expand on the idea and make it less horrible. First up, add new datablocks and information for explosions to the projectile. Here I am using the stock projectile in art/datablocks/Lurker.cs. This requires adding new particles and emitters, as well as editing the stock BulletDirtExplosion emitters to make it easier to see. //... datablock ParticleData(BulletDirtDust) { textureName = "art/particles/impact";

Nvidia releasing bad drivers? Not like that ever happened before. #burn

Nice! I like the HUD icons a lot. :D Also, resource your minmap code!

Whilst playing around with 3.8 I've found a rather horrifying bug: When using the Material Editor or the Particle Emitter Editor, they have a nasty tendency to overwrite other datablock definitions. :evil: example: singleton Material(base1) { mapTo = "base1"; //etc } singleton Material(base2) { mapTo = "base2"; //etc } becomes: singleton Material(base2) { mapTo = "base2"; //etc } singleton Material(base2) { mapTo = "base2"; //etc } And you won't notice until you restart T3D and material Base1 is missing and shows up with the orange no material image. This also happens with data saved through particleEmitters, though not particle datablocks. As I've been making lots of changes with Material and ParticleEmitter editors I have noticed this wrong overwriting to be happening a lot. However I've not noticed doing a particular "thing" to cause it. Sometimes it's fine - but eventually it won't be. This was not a problem I noticed making AirDrag, but mostly spent the last few releases of Torque updating existing stuff rather than creating new stuff with the editors, so I cannot say when this started happening. Note: tested messing around with materials on both custom and stock 3.8 builds and both suffer from this issue so it's not something my custom code introduced. Has anyone been intensitvely using matieral or particle editors and noticed this issue? :|

Here's an old outline shader, incase it helps. http://yorkshirerifles.com/random/outline_shader.zip ;)

I wrote up a blog post on my attempts to create animated textures for a static grass mesh. http://forums.torque3d.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=561

@Nils actually it's all tsStatic mesh. For my new project I'm not using the stock terrain system at all.

Love the Gorn! :) Note to self: never wear a red shirt ;)

Added a fix to the thread body below the original posting.

Nice find @J0linar :)

FIXED: SEE BELOW Whilst looking through the stock code, I noticed that ProximityMine.cpp/h checks for mOwner and triggerOnOwner(bool) to set whether you want it to explode on the original owner of the mine or not ---- except mOwner can never be set. // Detect movement in the trigger area if ( ( sql.mList == mOwner && !mDataBlock->triggerOnOwner ) || sql.mList->getVelocity().len() < mDataBlock->triggerSpeed ) continue; mOwner and triggerOnOwner called when it decides if it should explode (line ~444) but as mOwner is always null it always explodes. Note: when in scripts/server/proximityMine.cs onThrow functionthe object has a "sourceObject" defined like projectiles, but unlike projectiles there is nothing to refer to this in C++. So, thoughts on best fix? 1: Add a setOwner engineDefine and do it manually from script (feels a bit of a faff) 2: Add the script definition of sourceObject into C++ to be the mOwner variable, like projectile.cpp does and pack/unpack it. eg: inside initPersistFields and change mSourceObjectId to mOwner: addGroup("Source"); addField("sourceObject", TypeS32, Offset(mSourceObjectId, Projectile), "@brief ID number of the object that fired the projectile.\n\n" "@note If the projectile was fired by a WeaponImage, sourceObject will be " "the object that owns the WeaponImage. This is usually the player."); I expect #2 is the better option but thought I'd ask for opinions. //edit 24 Jan 2016 Fixed this. Also killed 2 birds with 1 stone by making "sourceObject" in the ProximityMineData::onThrow function in scripts/server/proximityMine.cs used for setting and checking the mine's owner. If someone else triggers the mine, the owner can still be damaged if they are close to the blast. The only downside which I have found is that the player collides with the mine as it has no "step" function for it's collision. Owner has to jump on/over the mine to move through it. Stock code from scripts/server/proximityMine.cs, sourceObject now referenced in C++ function ProximityMineData::onThrow( %this, %user, %amount ) { // Remove the object from the inventory %user.decInventory( %this, 1 ); // Construct the actual object in the world, and add it to // the mission group so its cleaned up when the mission is // done. The object is given a random z rotation. %obj = new ProximityMine() { datablock = %this; sourceObject = %user; rotation = "0 0 1 "@ (getRandom() * 360); static = false; client = %user.client; }; MissionCleanup.add(%obj); return %obj; } =============================================================================== TorqueScript Changes: art/datablocks/weapons/proxMine.cs //... datablock ProximityMineData( ProxMine ) { //... autoTriggerDelay = 0; triggerOnOwner = false;//stock = true; WHETHER THE OWNER TRIGGERS THE MINE triggerRadius = 3.0; //... ----------------------------------------------- C++ Changes: source/T3D/proximityMine.h We get rid of "mOwner" and replace it with sourceObjectId and a pointer to the ghost, just like in projectile.cpp. class ProximityMine: public Item { typedef Item Parent; protected: //...

Not found any issues playing around with Az's afx3.8 branch ... which is nice. :)

Adding engineAPI.h to arcaneFX.h threw up 122 "unresolved external symbols" relating to "onStaticModified". Adding engineAPI.h individually to the 5 error files stopped the original errors, until all 5 files had it, then it threw the above 122 errors again. Adding console/console.h had no effect on original errors. I mostly code gameplay and new classes so this bit of the engine is rather baffling. Also I notice Jeff had missed a few code comments so shockWaveData wasn't covered in his port, but it was easy to fix those errors.
