Hello,

first - thanks alot for your help - i did the steps you told.

Its working like you said. but how can i get these arguments in the method:

void PaintMaterialAction::process(Selection * sel, const Gui3DMouseEvent &, bool selChanged, Type)

?

Okay - gn8 ;)

Greetz Robert

Then it will probably be in the C++ source code.

I looked it up for you and it may be this one:

https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/blob/development/Engine/source/gui/worldEditor/terrainActions.cpp#L197-L247

i think this is the key - but how to execute this method?

i tried to make an instance and all the method ... but whats with the arguments?

please help me -.-

Hello Guys,

sorry for the long delay but i dont get it :/

i tried all things - to manipulate the c++ methods and try to search for solutions but i dont get it!

i now get it to execute c++ functions with torque 3d but they dont get it to run -> for example:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

grass.cpp

#include "grass.h"
#include "console/simBase.h" 
#include "console/console.h" 
#include "gui/worldEditor/terrainEditor.h"  
#include "gui/worldEditor/terrainActions.h"  
 
IMPLEMENT_CONOBJECT(grass);
 
void grass::set_grass()
{
 
	TerrainEditor *edit = new TerrainEditor();
 
	edit->autoMaterialLayer(-10000, 10000, 0, 90, 100);
 
}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

grass.h

#ifndef _SIMBASE_H_  
#include "console/simBase.h" 
#include "gui/worldEditor/terrainEditor.h"  
#endif  
 
class grass : public SimObject
 
private:
	typedef SimObject Parent;
 
public:
	grass() { grass::set_grass(); }
	virtual ~grass() {}
	virtual void set_grass();
 
	DECLARE_CONOBJECT(grass);
};

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the TorqueScript:

grass.cs

function grasses() {
 
   %obj = new grass();  
   %obj.set_grass();
 
}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay - but i just need to now how i can paint the material on a certain position :roll:

please help me - thx a lot!

Greetings - Robert!

hi,

sorry i didnt get it :(

hi,

okay now i found out how to call a c++ method from torquescript.

Now i only have to execute the PaintMaterialAction::process method - but im sure to find it out ;)

greetz

Robert

hey there,

i stuck a little bit :P

i want to call the method "PaintMaterialAction::process" from torquescript.

so now i took the following in the c++ code:

DefineEngineFunction(tesla, void, (), , "")

{

PaintMaterialAction::process;

}

and the following to the torquescript:

DefineEngineFunction( tesla, void, (),, "" )

{

echo("test");

}

so this is not working.

what do i made wrong?

Thanks a lot and gn8 ;)

Robert

hi there,

okay i made an output from the method and when i press the mouse button while painting.

So its the right thing :)

but i have troubles to be able to execute this function by torquescript ... i read some things but i dont know if im right ..

would be nice i you could help me (maybe i will find it out faster) :P :)

Thanks a lot for your help!

Regards -

Robert

hey - thanks alot for this answer :)

i will try to modify 8)

edit: yes it seem to work - thx!

greetz

Robert

So now you need to know what happens when you press the mouse button on the terrain painter?

I don't know where this is done, maybe try setting a breakpoint and see what happens, I think it is in terrainEditor.ed.cs

yes thats the point - theres nothing shown in the console or somewhere else in torsion when i do the paint in the terrainpainter :/

okay but i hope we will get it ;)

thanks alot - i try to search the "terrainEditor.ed.cs" again :)

greetings

Robert

Hello again :P

as i wrote:

hey guys,

i find out something good...

thats how you an set the brush (for painting etc.):

 

ETerrainEditor.setBrushPos(getWord(%curPos, 0) + %x, getWord(%curPos, 1) + %y);

 

and get the brush:

 

%curPos = ETerrainEditor.getBrushPos();

 

now i just need to "paint" on the brush position... - maybe you can help me?

Thank you very much!

Greetz

Robert

Sorry that im disturbing you :/

but i know how to set the position of the brush... i tried to paint through the command Azaezel shows ... but maybe someone could tell me how i get this right?

i tried to make the player position to the brush one - thats working ...

i hope you could help me a last time ... would be nice - THANKS!

Greetings

Robert

Hi,

yes that sounds good - but how can i attach it?

thx a lot ;)

greetz

Robert

okay here a explanation for what i need this function ;)

i want to mow a meadow with a ride-on mower i have all but i dont know exactly what can i do in this case. i have a few ideas - do something with the footstep or with triggers or - what i think is the best way - the terrain-painter (call from script).

So thanks a lot for the answer - but im new to torque maybe you could explain a bit more - so i can understand ...

okay now you know why i need this :)

greetings

Robert

hi there,

sorry i want to apologize!

but i just tried everything and thats really hard to know that im new to torque engine and nobody can help.

please dont understand this wrong ...

so thanks anyway!

greetings

Robert

Hello,

im very happy to see that someone has answered. THX!

So i just want to make the same like the terrain painter but from the script. I had an idea - set very much triggers and give them an groundlayer :(

but it is not realizable ..

i need the command to "paint" the terrain texture from the brush from "terrain painter" somewhere in the map ...

okay i hope someone could help me :)

Thanks alot!

Greetings

Robert

hi there,

sorry i cant get it :(

please help me i just need the command to create a material like the terrain painter.

i dont get further ... its really important for me.

greetings

Robert

hi,

okay - i have an other plan now.

Im trying to get the function, which is there for control the paint action from the terrain painter.

But i tried almost all functions and i dont know how the function is :(

Please help a last time :)

Greetings

Robert

PS: hopefully the error of your forum is not good for hackers...

Hi again,

okay - i have a plan now how to do it.

1. ill create triggers in the torque 3d world editor as big as the groundmaterials should be (first problem i need over 1000 trigger points).

2. then i add a groundtexture via terrain painter tool in each trigger square (second problem i need over 1000 terrainmaterials).

3. ill give them the layer 0 with full height groundcover.

4. now if i enter the trigger the layer 0 there will be another groundmaterial and so another groundcover.

okay - ill tested this - its working.

maybe you can give me some tips how it will be better? :roll:

okay - thanks alot!

Greetings

Robert

hi,

okay - i will do it with the layer property from the groundcover ;)

greetz

Robert

hey there,

sorry for awake this thread - but its important for me ...

how can i use the "position" Member of GroundCover Object?

is there any way to do it with a workaround? If not ill try with areas ..

okay - would be nice if you know something about :)

Thanks a lot!

Greetings

Robert

hi,

okay - i see... ill give a try - thanks a lot ;)

greetz

Robert

ok - i see.

thanks!

hi,

i got it:

localClientConnection.player

;)

greetings

Robert

hi,

ah okay - and how can i build a project?

Thanks and Greets!

Robert

Good Morning,

its me again :P

i have a simple but important question ...

thanks a lot for answers :)

greetings and have a nice day!
