Struggling to get Text to be drawn when the player touches an object

[Sargeant12344]

I'm trying to get it so that when the player reaches the end of the level and touches the pivot congratualtion text is shown, unfortunatley none of my attempts are working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[thehankinator]

Post your script.

 

Also if you are checking to see if the player is intersecting a pivot, that could be the problem. A pivot is really small and your player would have to be standing exactly on top of it. Typically I make a clear box with the collision type of "Trigger", that way there is plenty of space for the player to intersect with.

If you are doing this in an entity script then it has to be in the Script:PostRender() function. Generally you check if they reached their goal in the Script:UpdateWorld() function. What this means is you should probably set a flag in the UpdateWorld() function that you then read in your PostRender() function to tell you to draw. By "flag" I mean a boolean value. Below is a very basic example to get the point.

 

function Script:Start()
  self.reachedGoal = false
end


function Script:UpdateWorld()
  if reached_goal then
     self.reachedGoal = true
  end
end

function Script:PostRender(context)
  if self.reachedGoal == true then
     context:DrawText("Congrats!", 0, 0)
  end
end

[Sargeant12344]

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)
if entity.script.name~=nil and entity.script.name == "fpsplayer" then
 self.context:SetColor(1,0,0,1)
 self.context:DrawText("Well Done!",2,2)
 Context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
 end
end

 

Heres my code, Ill just check out your idea of a trigger box

[Rick]

You can't draw text in the collision function. It has to be drawn in the PostRender() function in the scripts.

[Sargeant12344]

Thanks for the help guys

[Sargeant12344]

Script.reachedGoal ="" --entity "Text Dispaly Point"


function Script:Start()
  self.reachedGoal = false
end

function Script:UpdateWorld()
  if reached_goal then
	  self.reachedGoal = true
  end
end
function Script:PostRender(context)
	 context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
	 self.context:DrawText("Level 2",context:GetWidth() -3000,400)
  if self.reachedGoal == true then
  end   
end

 

New problem, here is the script which I added to the FPS Controller. Whenever I try to run it this error appears "attempt to index field 'context' (a nil value). any help

[josk]

Delete self from

self.context:Drawtext 

 

should read

 

 

context:DrawText("Level 2",context:GetWidth() -3000,400)

[Rick]

Notice how 'context' is being passed as a parameter to the PostRender() function. Leadwerks engine is calling this PostRender function and it's giving you the object you use to draw 2D stuff (the context). So like jsk said just use 'context'

[Sargeant12344]

Brand new error here that's related to the original problem , sorry if I'm being annoying.

 

self.entity:SetInput(self.camRotation.y, playerMovement.z, playerMovement.x, jump , false, 1.0, 0.5, true)

 

 

I get the error

 

Script Error

 

attempt to index field 'camRoatation' (a nil value).

 

This is part of then original FPS Player Script by Leadwerks and functions normally when ever I remove the completed Script.reachedGoal Script.

By chance did you manually transcribe the error? If not, the error is talking about camRoatation not camRotation, looks like typo may have accidentally entered for that variable. Otherwise try posting the whole script (with the reachedGoal mods)

[Sargeant12344]

I manually transcribed the error, in the script it is spelt camRotation.

Heres all 700 and something lines

Ok the problem is that you added a new Start(), UpdateWorld() and PostRender(). The error is because the original Start() function isn't getting run. What you need to do is remove the functions you added but then add the content to the existing functions. For example, Start() is around line 101, go to the end of that function and add:

self.reachedGoal = false

 

You will need to do the same thing for UpdateWorld() and PostRender().

Thank you so much thehakinator!

[Sargeant12344]

A new issue here, while the game actually works this time, the text simply won't appear on the screen (The co-ordinates are correct). I drew a large box and used the hide function. I then selected it as the text draw point. Any help?

Would you post your script?

			 context:DrawText("Level 2",context:GetWidth() -500,30)
		 end
end

 

And heres all the other bits of code releated to the the project

 

Script.reachedGoal ="" --entity "Text Dispaly Point"
function Script:Start()
self.reachedGoal = false
end
function Script:UpdateWorld()
if reached_goal then
			 self.reachedGoal = true
end

 

And heres the code to hide the trigger

 

function Script:Start()
self.entity:Hide()
end

[thehankinator]

What's the logic behind the reached_goal variable in UpdateWorld()? If you initialize self.reachedGoal to true in Start(), does the text show?

 

Also I don't think it's the problem but you have Script.reachedGoal initialized to a blank string with the entity script property but elsewhere in the script you use it as a bool. I would change to be consistent to avoid confusion.

[Sargeant12344]

1. It's so that once the player collides with the trigger, the text is drawn as the draw text function requires the variable to be true.

 

2. The text does show on the show on the screen from the very start, not when you collide with the trigger.

 

3. How would I change it to be consistent (Not very good with a lot of the technical language here, apologies)

[thehankinator]

1. I am talking about reached_goal not self.reachedGoal. It's used in the UpdateWorld() code block(below), what logic is behind it? Without the full code I can't tell how it is getting set to true (or false). Looks suspicious.

function Script:UpdateWorld()
 if reached_goal then
	 self.reachedGoal = true
 end
end

 

2. Cool, this means the draw code is fine, self.reachedGoal isn't getting set to true for some reason.

 

3. Try changing:

Script.reachedGoal ="" --entity "Text Dispaly Point"

To:

Script.reachedGoal = false

Does it make sense why this change is more consistent?

3. Changing it makes no difference

[thehankinator]

Ok, It looks like reached_goal is not getting set anywhere but that's okay, I don't think you need that variable. In your collision trigger script try doing this:

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)
    if entity.script ~= nil then
         if entity.script.reachedGoal ~= nil then
              entity.script.reachedGoal = true
         end
    end
end

[Sargeant12344]

This is my script for the Collison Trigger which is applied to my Box which should act as a signal for the text to be drawn. Currently no difference is being made.

--[[
This script will make any entity act as a collision trigger.  It works best when you set the
entity's collision type to "Trigger".  This will continuously detect collisions without causing
any physical reaction.
]]--
function Script:Start()
self.enabled=true
self.entity:Hide()
end
function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)
	 if entity.script ~= nil then
			  if entity.script.reachedGoal ~= nil then
					   entity.script.reachedGoal = true
			  end
	 end
end
function Script:Enable()--in
if self.enabled==false then
 self.enabled=true
 self:CallOutputs("Enable")
end
end
function Script:Disable()--in
if self.enabled then
 self.enabled=false
 self:CallOutputs("Disable")
end
end

Are you sure the code is hitting the parts you think it's hitting? Honestly you need to be placing System:Prints() in your code to make sure code is getting executed that you are expecting. If it's not then it helps lead you down fixing the problem. This could go back and forth forever so instead just put those prints in places all over your code and see what gets hit when.

[Sargeant12344]

1.Whenever I place System prints in the new code and try to run it says "attempt to call method 'Prints' (a nil value)

--Text for the controls
context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
context:DrawText("Controls-WASD, Shift & Space",context:GetWidth()-300,4)
System:Prints()
			 if self.reachedGoal == true then
			 context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
			 context:DrawText("Level 2",context:GetWidth() -500,30)
		  end  
end

2.How would I view the system prints?
