You can find him on discord @Phantom139, ill link him this post in case others are interested.

new ArrayObject(numArray);
 
numArray.add(1,4);
numArray.add(2,3);
numArray.add(3,8);
 
numArray.add("1,1",5); 
numArray.add("1,2",9); 
 
function ArrayObject::getKeyFromValue(%this,%value){
   return %this.getKey(%this.getIndexFromValue(%value));
}
function ArrayObject::getValueFromKey(%this,%key){
   return %this.getValue(%this.getIndexFromKey(%key));
}
 
numArray.getValueFromKey(1); // will return 4
numArray.getValueFromKey("1,1"); // will return 5

What about array objects?

Just a useful function for vector math.

Drop it at the bottom of mathTypes.cpp

DefineConsoleFunction(createOrientFromDir, const char*, ( VectorF vec),,"Returns orientation from a vector input")
{
	MatrixF mat = MathUtils::createOrientFromDir(vec);
	AngAxisF aa(mat);
	char* ret = Con::getReturnBuffer(256);
	dSprintf(ret, 255, "%g %g %g %g", aa.axis.x, aa.axis.y, aa.axis.z, aa.angle);
	return ret;
}

I messed around with this in 3.10.1 and at first i though it was broken. Then i found out the the gui control needs to be larger in width then the image width to display. Other then that everything that i threw at it seem to display everything just fine.

This is a small update of an old resource that was on garage games.

I added the ability to mark files that you are working in to keeps systems and things like the editor from freaking out and breaking.

example:

exec("scripts/server/stuff.cs");

to

rexec("scripts/server/stuff.cs"); // this file will now auto exec after saving

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

First open up volume.h

Find these lines

template

inline bool AddChangeNotification( const Path &path, T obj, U func )

Then add code above them

template 
inline bool AddChangeNotification(const Path &path, U func)
{
	FileSystemRef fs = GetFileSystem(path);
	if (!fs || !fs->getChangeNotifier())
		return false;
 
	FileSystemChangeNotifier::ChangeDelegate dlg(func);
	return fs->getChangeNotifier()->addNotification(path, dlg);
}

Now open up console.cpp

Above this function bool executeFile(const char* fileName, bool noCalls, bool journalScript)

Add

void reExec(const Torque::Path &path);

Now change bool executeFile(const char* fileName, bool noCalls, bool journalScript)

To

bool executeFile(const char* fileName, bool noCalls, bool journalScript, bool rexec)

In the same function change this line

if( (dsoPath && *dsoPath == 0) || (prefsPath && prefsPath[ 0 ] && dStrnicmp(scriptFileName, prefsPath, dStrlen(prefsPath)) == 0) )

To

if( (dsoPath && *dsoPath == 0) || dStrstr(scriptFileName, "prefs.cs")) //(prefsPath && prefsPath[ 0 ] && dStrnicmp(scriptFileName, prefsPath, dStrlen(prefsPath)) == 0) )

Still in the same function add this after the last #endif

if (compiled && rexec) 
 {
      Torque::Path path(scriptFileName);
      Torque::FS::AddChangeNotification(path, &reExec);
 }

After the bool executeFile function add

void reExec(const Torque::Path &path)
{
	//we know this is a file that exists, and a .cs file, so we can skip a lot of checks...  
	CodeBlock *newCodeBlock = new CodeBlock();
	StringTableEntry name = StringTable->insert(path.getFullPath().c_str());
 
	void *data;
	U32 dataSize = 0;
	Torque::FS::ReadFile(name, data, dataSize, true);
 
	newCodeBlock->compileExec(name, (char*)data, false, 0);
 
	delete[] data;
}

Now open up console.h and change

bool executeFile(const char* fileName, bool noCalls, bool journalScript);

To

bool executeFile(const char* fileName, bool noCalls, bool journalScript,bool rexec);

Lastly open up consoleFunctioncs.cpp and replace

DefineEngineFunction( exec, bool, ( const char* fileName, bool noCalls, bool journalScript ), ( false, false ),
   "Execute the given script file.\n"
   "@param fileName Path to the file to execute\n"
   "@param noCalls Deprecated\n"
   "@param journalScript Deprecated\n"
   "@return True if the script was successfully executed, false if not.\n\n"
   "@tsexample\n"
      "// Execute the init.cs script file found in the same directory as the current script file.\n"
      "exec( \"./init.cs\" );\n"
   "@endtsexample\n\n"
   "@see compile\n"
   "@see eval\n"
   "@ingroup Scripting" )
{
   return Con::executeFile(fileName, noCalls, journalScript);
}

With this

DefineEngineFunction( exec, bool, ( const char* fileName, bool noCalls, bool journalScript ), ( false, false ),
   "Execute the given script file.\n"
   "@param fileName Path to the file to execute\n"
   "@param noCalls Deprecated\n"
   "@param journalScript Deprecated\n"
   "@return True if the script was successfully executed, false if not.\n\n"
   "@tsexample\n"
      "// Execute the init.cs script file found in the same directory as the current script file.\n"
      "exec( \"./init.cs\" );\n"
   "@endtsexample\n\n"
   "@see compile\n"
   "@see eval\n"
   "@ingroup Scripting" )
{
   return Con::executeFile(fileName, noCalls, journalScript, false);
}
DefineEngineFunction(rexec, bool, (const char* fileName, bool noCalls, bool journalScript), (false, false),
	"Execute the given script file. As well as re-execute said file automatically after saving\n")
{
   return Con::executeFile(fileName, noCalls, journalScript, true);
}

Great work, i plan on messing around with this during the weekend.

I tried the code you posted above in 3.10 and seems to work. Are you doing this at a long distance? When i was messing around with AI back in T3D 1.2 i ran into an aiming issue.

Going off memory, it was something with this if block in aiplayer.cpp

if (mFabs(newPitch) > 0.01f)

i think i just commented out that if statement and left the other two lines alone. That seemed to fix my aim precision issue. With that said, its not a fix just me trouble shooting so this may still cause problems.

// if (mFabs(newPitch) > 0.01f)

// {

Point3F headRotation = getHeadRotation();

movePtr->pitch = newPitch - headRotation.x;

// }

I have had problems in the past with the look animation not begin in sync between two clients on the same server. I had to tweak the number of frames to fix the problem. Tho i'm not sure if its related to this, i thought id bring it up.
