Navigation is not dependent on physics, it just calculate path based on the navmesh. Then you could make move any physic object on that path could it be Physics or Bullet. For particles, it's only keeping same parameter forces but applied to a physic object created with physix. The only requirement is having all physic functions of LE3 exposed on the API.

Thanks Josk, We'll see if this project will lead to something ? for the demo it will be a polished demo instead of some bad looking prototype.

Why not some raycast, if the ray collides with an other entity , just check the angle to see if it's inside the cone angle ? It's something i will do for some simple stupid robots AI.

Beginning assets

You import a models that are named in Assets foler : soldier, house, roof ... Why those names are not taken for the Scene panel , why LE3 take some bone or hierarchy name to display it on the scene panel ? In UE4 i just import some soldier.fbx , it keeps the same name soldier in the scene panel , what makes sense, i don't have to bother about bones or hierarchy name at all Anyway, i just posted it, no one says that will be corrected, and if LE3 users are ok with strange things or needing unecessary extra efforts, good for them

Yep Blender direct export to FBX. Same exact test on all 3 engines. But the problem is not the import as the model name is ok on the Asset panel. This is just a naming bug when the model is dropped on the 3D map.

This is not a problem of prebab as i tested with a simple model that is not prefab. (I updadet the first post with a custom example) UE4 Unity Why should we have to rename each imported FBX every time ? i never had to do that on other 3D editors (even older 3D engines). It's a naming bug.

Just some bonus thing nothing priority : Take a screenshot during gameplay for publish.

I made it work with GotoPoint and it worked, then chaging code with Follow worked after that. if(dist < self.maxDist and dist > self.minDist and self.mode ~="chase") then self.mode="chase" self:updateState("chase") self.entity:Follow(self.target,self.speed,self.maxaccel) end I just find Follow command very unstable even playing with acceleration values, the character some times turns suddenly very fast, or it is some moment like some freezz, also sometimes it continues on trajectory too much and follow the player too late.But it's perhaps better optimized ?

Some old annoying bug : when the model is dropped in the map the model name on scene panel is not the same as in assets panel.

Ok i should read the Command reference some times Returns true if a path can be plotted to the target entity, otherwise false is returned. But "follow" name command is misleading for me, a name like canReach() ro reachable() would make more sense.

I made a custom AI script for soldier and i called Follow() in start , even put it in physic loop. Soldier has character physics with mass , it is enabled, it has player as target in script and navmesh is build for the level self.entity:Follow(self.target.entity,self.speed,self.maxaccel) Any idea ?

Thanks gamecreator, seeing video it lead mean to this thread with code examples : http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/5417-ragdolls/#entry47816 Hummm , that's heavy code --[[ Leadwerks Soldier Entity Script by Paul "Masterxilo" Frischknecht (c) 2010 Paul Frischknecht/Hurricane-Eye Entertainment visit http://www.hurricane-eye.webs.com/ =========Usage========= This soldier model is designed to be controlled completely through messages.

It's radeon on the 6700 HD series ( i run many today games even Unreal 4 and all shaders and effects). So it works on your models , you mean it displays ok in LE3 editor 3D viewport applying it on models , not BSP. I'll upload some model if you have some time to test ( but they are pretty standard FBX).

In some engines ragdoll is simply based on bones, sometimes you need to do nothing or just adjust collision volumes. Anyway having out of the box someday in LE3 would be good for all people making games with LE3, not only me

It will perhaps come i 2015 with some other post effects (see LE3 2015 plans). I would like it to see some day also

I needed to make one for prorotyping droids AI that will fire at you, so i took some character and some other weapon from LT3D for testing purpose (because all is mainly ripped from games) Blender is so cool and fast for characters : - Auto Rig - Attach weapon to bone - Copy and symmetry a pose of animation - IK to quickly make smooth animations. It really worth learning it.

I don't know if someone made it successfull and easy to implement ? But i would like to see ragdoll coming some day as opponents lying on the air is not looking so good.

Thanks a lot Rick, (I always forgot Wiki as it's not on LE3 main site )

How to make face a character to the player in Lua ? Because when the character have reached the player at some distance and stops following, it's Lua control of it's actions and i would need it to always turn to the player.

Have amazing screenshots Submit once you have more stuff done I agree (some trees, rocks,would have helped your game look, it looks very empty). Also use some road barriers , and other blocking objects to avoid the player to go anywhere with the car and make it some 4*4 offroad game. This would force the player to have a driving section than he would have to let the car to make a walking combat section. Juts my personnal taste. Your game is coming nicely, keep going on

Did you have some time to test ? Anyway i think i will stick with my original shader and just paint myself in 2D progam the parts i need to be reflective and the amount, this will be more easy i think to make it adapated for the shader.

This version uses PhysicSetposition and you update the position physics each loop in the program. I made another version using SetVelociy, so your bullet velocity is constant and just initiated at start. Both methods have their advantages, like moving the bullet manually with physiSetposition to make any trajectory you want , or SetVelocity when you need a direct streightforward trajectory. http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/files/file/512-turret-v2-setvelocity-physics/
