I am really am not getting this?

[Andy Gilbert]

Ok.. Al im trying to do is in the lua editor outside of the editor, load a scene and place a model inside it?

 

The code..

 

RegisterAbstractPath("")

--Set graphics mode
if Graphics(1024,768)==0 then
Notify("Failed to set graphics mode.",1)
return
end

world=CreateWorld()
if world==nil then
Notify("Failed to initialize engine.",1)
return
end

gbuffer=CreateBuffer(GraphicsWidth(),GraphicsHeight(),1+2+4+8)


scene=LoadScene("abstract::scene.sbx")

model1=LoadMesh("abstract::simple_1.gmf")
PositionEntity(model1,Vec3(-1,2,0))


camera=CreateCamera()
camera:SetPosition(Vec3(0,20,0))
camera:Turnf(0.0,42,0.0)

Collisions(1,1,1)


while AppTerminate()==0 do



UpdateAppTime()
world:Update(AppSpeed())

SetBuffer(gbuffer)
world:Render()
SetBuffer(BackBuffer())
world:RenderLights(gbuffer)

DrawText(UPS(),0,0)
Flip(0)
end

 

Ok the above just crashes when you try to run it, remove the line PositionEntity(model1,Vec3(-1,2,0)) and it loads, but cannot see the model?

 

am i doing it wrong?

As far as I know lua does not use Josh's Abstract file system.

 

So could be a path issue.

 

Having said that, you are attempting to write a lua script in the lua editor?

[Josh]

The Lua command dofile() does not use the abstract system. LE commands work as they normally do.

 

Please post a demo, otherwise we are just speculating.

[Andy Gilbert]

It loads the scene fine?? and thats set using the abstract system?

 

Just the model.

 

And its crashing when the entityposition line is there, loads fine without it?

 

Andy

[Andy Gilbert]

well ill post a demo if you want but it can easily be replicated? the scene it nothing but a terrain and the model is a cube?

 

But the loading of stuff doesnt seem a problem..

 

It just literally crashes when i try to use the commands PositionEntity and also ive noticed EntityType?

Without a demo, I can only guess what you might be doing.

Ok ,well ive now found out what the prob is (which i thought you might of picked up on)

 

I was using the command PositionEntity where as in lua it seems its SetPosition? I was under the impression most commands where the same?

 

is there not a compiled list of the lua commands for LE as it seems its just a guessing game?

 

Andy

[Josh]

The Lua commands match the BlitzMax methods, but you are right they are not completely documented yet.

[Andy Gilbert]

Hmm, do you have a ETA (i know your busy) with a list of commands?

 

and just so i know... are ALL LE commands avaialble via lua?

 

Cheers

Andy

[Andy Gilbert]

They should all be. If you want to see exactly how they are exposed, see my thread in this forum talking about exposing Lua commands in BMX.

 

Hmm not sure if i understand that, all i need know is commands, which im sure many others do to: for isntance like now, im trying to set the entity type in lua?

 

I havnt got a clue what it is, ive tried the obvious:

 

model1:EntityType(1) - nope

model1:SetType(1) - nope

model1:CollisionType(1) - nope

 

I dare say you could tell me... but then ill only get to the next command i need and same prob.

 

Also whilst your here...

 

Ive noticed some commands arnt syntaxed? or color coded?

 

For instance:

model1=LoadMesh("abstract::simple.gmf")
model1:SetPosition(Vec3(0,2,5))
model1:SetScale(Vec3(0.1,0.1,0.1))
model1body=CreateBodyBox(2,2,5)
model1:SetParent(model1body)
model1body:SetMass(1)

 

SetScale , Setmass arnt yet they work fine.

 

Thanks

Andy

entity:SetCollisionType(type,recursive=0)

The language is case sensitive Keep trying till it goes blue

Keep trying till it goes blue

 

 

 

But STOP if you turn blue
