Blender Tut 17: in game movement

[UdNeedaMiracle]

Under Materials, their is an option for Volume. This way works well (so long as you don't use dumb Loc, that moves you through walls) but there was even a better way to do it under that tab, but I forget how.

[Tatzelmaulwurf]

You have very good tutorials but I have a problem! I have version 2.49 and I haven't got the force and torque button. I only have location and rotation. Can you help me?

[Flash8Games]

[GodGifted007]

btw i am using 2.48b

[hamsterhill]

you may need to add some lights too your scene.

[TyylerS]

I wanna know how to make a cursor in the game

[hamsterhill]

you will need to programe that useing python... perhaps do a google search and see if you can find a tutorial

[TyylerS]

YAY your doing a game tutorial now WOOT!

[neverunderstanding]

Please reply i don't have force or torque help!! I guess ill just try re-downloading it

[neverunderstanding]

UGH i opened up the logic tab and in the actuaters part only Loc and Roc showed up on each one help?

[thecomputernerd002]

to jump just change the force all the way to the right to 200. then add 2 more sensors make one of them a touch sensor and the other a ray sensor. change the range to 1.58 and the + Y axis to the - Z axis. then connect both of them to your jump controller

[ScottVsMarvin]

hamsterhill, the tutorial was great, but I've been wanting to start working on a game in which you control a softbody. The problem I'm having is that you have to use Servo Control to move a softbody in the game engine (unless I've missed something), and I can't seem to get the softbody to move forward relative to the camera. I've checked Local and set my camera as the reference object. Do you know what I can do?

Thanks

[mikh3x4]

can any body tell me how to do a keyboard sensor that when you press the key the act happens and when you stop holding it the act stops happening

[TheArtOfGames]

my screen stays blank gray even when i check my camera place

[NewUnity227]

lower the radius on the cube so it fits it right and make sure to parent the camera to the player

[szarbabele]

Thanks for ur tutorial, could u make a tutorial that shows us how to move a char with armature, like a body that moves?

[Duude4ever]

THANKS SOO MUCH !!!!

[jiminma50]

Excellent basic game tutorial! You explain the game engine very clearly. My ONLY request... how to we encapuslate this into an exe, so we can send our game to friends? What dll's do we need to copy into our folder we send out to friends?

[hamsterhill]

check out a guy called super3boy he has a blender game engine tutorial that teaches you exactly how to do that.

[feanor921]

@jiminma50 thats a seperate tutorial lol



[Skormeus]

hey hammerstill i understand the concept of the collision cube but its a very volatile collision detector. if my character walks up a grade he tips backwards and falls over of his side. if anything hits him he will fall over. i cant be having that. what do u do to stop it?

[hamsterhill]

turn off ridged body and that should fix it i think.

[Oyaki72]

Hey i had a same prob i this tut so i just changed it to dynamic :p

[sokkerdave]

hey can u help i want to make a 3rd person game with a character i already mad and do i have to use the radius stuff so i can stand because if i dont make the radius bigger i fall through ground but if i do make it big it bumps into things like five feet away

[hamsterhill]

you will need to create a collision box for the player... so pretty much you use our cube set up but have it so that the cube fits around where you what your player to collide and have all the actions and stuff on that colision box. then make the box invisible and have the character parented to the collision box

[sokkerdave]

oh ok thank u very much

[Endorphinholic]

I only have Loc and Rot in the actuators part whats wrong with it

[hamsterhill]

hmmm... thats odd. did you do it exactly?... if you only have those too you should also have a drop down box that tells lets you choose between simple and advanced movement choose adevanced then you should see the rest.

[Endorphinholic]

figured it out i didnt have it on dynamic

[fightceramics]

hey hamsterhill, really helpful stuff.

Quick question: I've used your setup here and parented the camera to the cube, but when I play the game in the player, the movement is bumpy as hell and I can't seem to get rid of it.

The cube should be sliding smoothly on a flat plane. Any thoughts?

[hamsterhill]

hmm... maybe start again... sometimes things just decide not to work the first time. you may have parented the cube to the camera and not the other way around which could make that effect but without seeing the file i cant tell.

[sokkerdave]

whenever i start playing my game i cant figure out how to get back to blender do i always have to x it off or is it different because im using 2.46

[hamsterhill]

did you try the Esc button? that is what normally quits out of it.

[sokkerdave]

oh no not yet thank you

[hamsterhill]

its all good.

[armenac92]

hmm same hire when im in camra mod and i press p all gets gray and nothing happends. hmm but it only happends when im in camera mod. and only on 2.48 the 2.47 works fine:S

[hamsterhill]

hmm... did you transfer your project from 2.47? because i've had a few problems with that... maybe you should remake it all just in 2.48 that may fix it.

[armenac92]

nope i made the hole game on 2.28

[armenac92]

ops sorry 2.48 :)

[FriskyLemons]

I do everything the way it says. I have 2.48 so its the same. And i tried like 3 or 4 different times but when i hit P to play it all goes gray and nothing happens. I even turned on the fps monitor and it says 60 fps.

[hamsterhill]

hmm.. thats really odd.. have you moved the camera to a better view? or maybe try to colour the cube so that you can distinguish it from the back ground.

[FriskyLemons]

well.. i get it to work now. i reinstalled. but if i move the camera AT ALL. even zoom out or shift middle mouse button it still doesn't work. BUT if i save it move the camera where i want then save. X out of blender and start again and load it it works so i guess i'll just have to deal with it that way.

[hamsterhill]

wow... thats really odd... might be your computer set up or something

[PandoraT377]
