player height

[cassius]

There is a problem here with player height. It is too low. I tried using a cylinder but then the player would not move at all.Also it slows down too slowly acting more like a vehicle than a human.Any help?????

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#include "engine.h"

int main(int argc, char** argv)

{

Initialize();

RegisterAbstractPath("C:/mygame");

Graphics(1100,800);

AFilter() ;

TFilter() ;

TFramework framework=CreateFramework();

TLayer layer = GetFrameworkLayer(0);

TCamera cam=GetLayerCamera(layer);

PositionEntity(cam,Vec3(0,0,0));

//Set Lua variable

BP L=GetLuaState();

lua_pushobject(L,framework);

lua_setglobal(L,"fw");

lua_pop(L,1);

TVec3 camrotation=Vec3(0);

float mx=0;

mx=Curve(MouseX()-GraphicsWidth()/2,mx,6);

my=Curve(MouseY()-GraphicsHeight()/2,my,6);

MoveMouse(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2);

camrotation.X=camrotation.X+my/10.0;

camrotation.Y=camrotation.Y-mx/10.0;

RotateEntity(cam,camrotation);

 

move=KeyDown(KEY_W)-KeyDown(KEY_S);

strafe=KeyDown(KEY_D)-KeyDown(KEY_A);

TVec3 force = Vec3(strafe*10.0,0,move*30.0);

force=TFormVector(force,cam,0);

AddBodyForce(player,force);

PositionEntity(cam,EntityPosition(player));

 

// Update timing and world

UpdateFramework();

// Render

// Send to screen

Flip(0) ;

}

return Terminate();

}

for most inherent meshes and bodies in LE, the position is the center... so if you are setting the camera at the position of the "player" then it will be at the center of the "player"... we use to have a similar issue back when the controller position was at the center instead of at the foot of the cylinder... just offset the Y value of the results of the EntityPosition(player) before setting the position of the camera just like you do with a controller...

Thanks mac.

 

I get an error on the line

 

PositionEntity (player,vec3(0,1.8,0));

 

The error reads Tvec3 not declared in this scope.

 

Can someone show me how it should be done.

Its ok I got it figured.
