Ouch, yeah that option is not available on Linux Build 4.5. Any other suggestions ? Trying to set Rotation in general settings makes no difference.

Hi, This might be trivial but not sure how to solve this. I have crated a simple model in Blender with texture and exported it to .fbx. Imported that to Leadwerks without issue, set collision mesh and placed in 3D space (see attached pic). This is my character in the game , Roomba like cleaning robot. So when i start the game , robot gets flipped 90 degrees. What gives ? When i create a simple cylinder, size of of my object and attach my player script all is fine, cylinder does not flip, and works just fine. Not sure what's going on, any help apprecieated. Player script below. function Script:Start() --Create a camera world:SetAmbientLight(0,0,0) self.camera = Camera:Create() --Update the camera self:UpdateCamera() --Initial Vars self.entity:SetMass(1) self.entity:SetPhysicsMode(Entity.CharacterPhysics) self.pos = 0 self.minimal_speed = -3 self.max_speed = 3 self.lives = 3 self.speed = 0 self.tilt = 0 energy=100.0 energy_max=100.0 energy_min=0 self.energy_depletion = 0 self.lastTime = Time:Millisecs(); self.torch = PointLight:Create() end --Adjust the camera orientation relative to the ball function Script:UpdateCamera() self.camera:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition()) self.camera:SetRotation(45,0,0) self.camera:Move(0,4,-7) end function Script:UpdatePhysics() --Get the game window local window = Window:GetCurrent() end function Script:UpdateWorld() --Update the camera each frame if energy > 0 then -- move if you got energy local move = ((window:KeyDown(Key.Up) and 1 or 0) - (window:KeyDown(Key.Down) and 1 or 0))*3 local strafe = ((window:KeyDown(Key.Right)and 1 or 0) - (window:KeyDown(Key.Left) and 1 or 0))*3 if window:KeyDown(Key.Up) or window:KeyDown(Key.Down) or window:KeyDown(Key.Left) or window:KeyDown(Key.Right) then if energy > 0 then if (Time:Millisecs() > self.lastTime + 80) then self.lastTime = Time:Millisecs(); energy = energy -1 end end end self.entity:SetInput(0,move,strafe) else -- out of energy, can't move move = 0 strafe = 0 self.entity:SetInput(0,move,strafe) end -- Light --light = SpotLight:Create() self.torch:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition()) self.torch:SetRange(0.2,1.5) self.torch:Move(0,1,0) --self.torch: self:UpdateCamera() end function Script:PostRender(context) context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha) context:DrawText(energy,context:GetWidth()-30,4) end

Based on example you have showed it seems like 'small' things and not the whole theme packs are selling better on the . Maybe it's mentality or maybe people just looking for cheaper things on workshop where DLC can be pusshed with higher price.

Yes it, does. I would suggest in future builds to have full screen/windowed mode toggle. Linux version of LE game launcher is no longer supported (check bugs section of the forum). Launcher still works hence I was able to check your game. Otherwise game was playable so not a massive problem.

I had a go yesterday. Aside what others have mentioned , got one Linux related thing. I think it's a bug in the LE. On Linux going full screen does not work. Window have not resized to full screen and just lost window decoration. You can still play it.

Yes Brutile. This is just an example. So overall you need to have a script attached to an object if you want more than physical collision with that object, even if this is just to get the name of the object.

Yes, I understand that, basics are simple. I'm wandering how should I approach where collision is a trigger to do other things. Take for example a shooter game (which I got it working), so if ship collides with something that it's not an entity I have no way of telling what it was, and I have to apply one rule for all on such collision. That makes me think that if I want this ship of mine to eg. bounce of the side walls, those walls needs at least a name that collision function of my ship can detect. Otherwise any wall will just trigger collision in the same way and here I might don't want that.

Hi, So on collision if object we are colliding with has a script attached to it it will be an entity with eg. name function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed) if(entity:GetKeyValue("name") == "wall") then --Do Something end end Now I guess that in order to code specifically certain behaviours based on what object I'm colliding with, that object should be an entity which equals to have a script attached to it, right ? regardless is that a primitive or a prefab model. Even if that object is doing nothing apart from being just an obstacle. Is that correct ? Is that approach is one that everybody is using or should be used or is there another, simple, go to method of finding about an object player have just collided with ?

I'm no expert but looking at your script, you don't control over real speed of the ball. I personally would not use : self.entity:Move((dirX * ballSpeed),0 , (dirZ * ballSpeed),true) Why you are multiplying ? This makes you ball to accelerate very quickly. In your pad movement you are using self.entity:Move(0,0,padSpeed,true) which makes more sense as you moving your object by a constant speed , here padSpeed. Have you tried applied same schema to ball movement ?

Hi guys, Finally uploaded my 'game' to the workshop called d4Shmup. This is a simple prof of concept with one playable level. Any feedback is appreciated. If anyone want standalone, please shout out. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=630002481 Update 23/02/16 - Game now available as standalone: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/games/_/d4shmup-r109

Old post but question still remains. In View menu there should be camera option to pick if there is at least one camera in the scene.

I think some short tutorials on specific subjects will be great. Marble game tutorial is very good, but for example is missing how music is playing. I know there is a pivot with noise script, but I have found it by looking for it and guessing. Also why it's nested in pivot is not explained. If it's expected in LE to look into API and Forums on how to do specific but commonly needed things in game then you guys creating a barriers of any new user. Don't expect users are experienced game developers. LE allows to create FPS games with almost no need for coding which is amazing but try to do something extra and hurdle is present. Create tutorials for complete noobs, 12yr olds or users who never tried to do anything in gamedev, then your userbase will grow even more and LE will become more popular. Unity, game maker and alike are so popular due to community, and as harsh it might sound we are still way to small. Don't add new features and add more tutorials about simple things. I can give you few eg. How to detect what is colliding with the player How to share vars between maps ( I know it's simple but for noobs it's not) How to do a title screen (probably a tutorial no.1) Text positioning List is long, but think about what complete green person will need.

first RTFM as they say, but truth to be told: "Window::FullScreen: the window will take up the entire screen, and the screen resolution will be changed to match the window size." That does not do what it says at least on the Linux version. It just removes window borders and will not resize to the fullscreen. So you need to readjust screen resolution (I currently don't know can LE probe for current resolution of the display), then apply new resolution and change to Fulscreen to remove border decoration.

Hi, API reference does not mention anything but can sprite have a shadow ? Thanks
