SP3x. The Plan.
-
When will the final version of SP3 be released?
-
I think technically this is the final version. SP3 X is actually separate, since models made with it probably won't work in SPIV.
-
i have quite a pressing question: will sp3 final and sp3x be able to coexist? because if not then there will be a few issues
-
SP3x will be out as soon as I can finish a few things and add some warnings.
In the meantime a few of the new script commands are available even without the events.
Create a cone and a sphere. Then set the thruster to:
lookAt("sphere");0lookAt is a new script command that forces an object to "point at" another uniquely named object.
The ";0" part means that the thruster is off. If you want you could make it ";leftx" or whatever.
Note I think I might change lookAt to something else. So it might not work for long. Thats the nature of these experiments.

When i added the batting practice noise script to a machine gun, it wouldn't play the noise until a minute later. That even happened after the simulation stopped. What is wrong?
-
Nevermind. It was just a mistake
-
May i request that instead of cutting the sound off when the object is hit during another sound cycle, make them overlap. Almost like a machine gun. OFF TOPIC: I had some more disastrous results when i had built a machine gun. I could only hear white noise when the projectiles collided, so i kept turning up the volume. BOOM!!! after the last shot had collided my eardrums had never seen worse days. Right now i feel pretty stupid...
-
The sound is limited to what the built in Sketchup play_sound command can do. At some point I may hook up a real sound API. But not anytime soon.

Sorry the SP3x version isn't ready yet. I haven't had time to work on it this week. And it looks like I am going to have to fix a few bugs in the Release Candidate first.

Did this in a few hours. It uses the Knight model and animation from Scott Lininger's Prince IO game:
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=14291&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=aIt uses lookAt to point the knight in the direction the joystick is pointed. and the new push command to make him move.
The animation is a trick used in the Knight game. The object really contains all the animations as hidden geometry. I cheated a little bit on the animation playback.
