GetEntityKey ?

[Umnik]

Is anyone an give me example please: Handling events on click mouse in Model.

 

I want to create the object NPC and do not know where to start.

 

How work RayCasting I know.

 

I do not understand how to determine the name of the object, then to make a [if] operator.

 

Thanks.

As with GetEntityKey know Name of the object, such as a firepit model.

 

TPick pick2;

if(MouseHit(1)) {
HideEntity(character);
HideEntity(waycursor);
  if(CameraPick(&pick2,fw.GetMain().GetCamera(),Vec3(MouseX(),MouseY(),1000.0))) {
    string name;
    name=GetEntityKey(pick2.entity,"name");
    PositionEntity(cursor,Vec3(pick2.X,pick2.Y+0.25,pick2.Z));
  }
ShowEntity(waycursor);
ShowEntity(character);
}

...

if (!pick2.entity) {
 DrawText(0,100,"%s",GetEntityKey(pick2.entity,"name"));
}
 DrawText(0,116,"%s",name);

 

Not Worked ;(

 

Please help me!

You are picking the mesh, not the model. See gamelib's PlayerShoot() function how to pick models.

A quick hack would be this:

name=GetEntityKey(GetParent(pick2.entity),"name");

[Umnik]

DrawText(0,116,"%s",name);

 

I click to model and not see name! Return value (null).

 

What?

[Canardia]

Your name is a C++ object, and not a text. The C++ object of the string class can be converted to text using the c_str() method:

DrawText(0,116,"%s",(str)name.c_str());

Thanks!

 

hmm...

 

Model {
path="firepit.gmf"
position=-2.00000000,0.000000000,-6.00000000
rotation=-0.000000000,-0.000000000,0.000000000
scale=1.00000000,1.00000000,1.00000000
id=205114888
"class"="Model"
"intensity"="1.0"
"name"="firepit_1"
}

 

"class"="Model"

 

Return value "Mesh"

 

"name"="firepit_1"

 

Return value "Scene Root"

 

This is because I use CameraPick method?

[Canardia]

No, it's because you use the quick hack (GetParent()), instead of the correct GetMeshModel() function from gamelib.
