[Plugin]FPS Nav
-
Let me know how you go, Michael. I'm possibly making some changes to how the camera code works today (it should be minor, but basically it currently creates a new camera and uses that, which means it screws up if you use it in conjunction with panning and tilting, so I want to change that).
JClements - That is unintended! It's an unforseen consequence of the mouselook code, which currently clamps the horizontal angle within a certain range. I'll try and get that fixed today.
-
I'll modify accordingly once you modify the camera stuff.
I'm thinking along these lines:
Arrows: pan left/right/backward/forward
Option/Command pans down/up
Control plus arrows orbits left right, up down
<,> changes field of view in and out (but needs a standard reset)
Right double click toggles high speed motion/slow speedAlso I would not come back to a standard view every time, I'd start with the current camera view, which means the mouse orbit,zoom and pan still work.
PMed the current code

Alan, hey this looks like something I've wanted for a while; especially after playing with Lumion. I downloaded the file and put it in my Plugin folder and I still cant get it working. What is the rbz extension? Where do I put it? Sadly I seem to be having a senior moment....urghh and I'm 48!
-
.rbz is installed under Windows > Preferences > Extensions under SU v8 M2
Or just rename the .rbz extension to .zip and unzip it.

Thank you Rich. Alls good, this is a great little Plugin Alan, thank you.
-
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Hi this is my first post, and i would like to know if you have the time to answer, does this work like a game in terms of say COD where by the camera pans via the mouse (i noticed you said you didn't use a mouse generaly) and the movement is via the wasd keys? THanks for you time and a massive thanks to all the ruby coders.
-
Finally found plugin to allow this, should be like this from the start with, developers never played FPS games?
But, what I'd really appreciate, would be invert-mouse for free look! I'm one of those weirdos who likes that, maybe in the next release...?
-
could it be possible to move an object with the keypad like in Layout ?
Thanks for the plugin ,._)))Edited : I found this plugin from Jim : http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1530
smart ¡ thank_you -
Very good effort. if there is a way to reverse the mouse Y axis or sensitivity would be great.
-
@ weba and bigjonyz :
I prefer the y-axis inverted too, and I have obtained this modifying the plugin's code:
-
if you have sketchup opened, close it
-
open the sketchup's "Plugins" folder
-
open the file "FPSNav.rb" in the folder "FPSNav" with a text editor (like notepad++)
-
find this line (about at row 343):
yRotationTransformation = Geom;;Transformation.rotation(@FPSNav_eye, horizontalAxis, radiansToRotate)and change it like this:
yRotationTransformation = Geom;;Transformation.rotation(@FPSNav_eye, horizontalAxis, -radiansToRotate)(the only difference is a minus before "radiansToRotate")
- save the file and then open sketchup: now the y-axis should be inverted
-
-
Can anyone please explain how (if possible) I can mod the script so
- I can change the navigation to WASD / Q&E without having to use shift?
- use SPACEBAR to doubble speed?
- automatic start WASD navigation just by pressing 'w'?
Thanks

Or just change the keys to wasd?

Been waiting this from AtLast, and then Google, and now Trimble...it's been years I wanted to find other options then I discovered Adobe Director.
It can import Sketchup files and make it interactive including FPS. Files can be published as a standalone executable file for PC or MAC use (haven't tried publishing as an APP for Ipad use but I know it can be done.) For viewing on the Browser, it requires Adobe Shockwave Player plug-in to run.
FPS
-navigating using arrow keys
-with collision
-open swing and sliding doors
-add sound
-many moreHere's a video on a project I was navigating - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-6HQ8erShM

Hi Alan
The link seems down?
-
Alan...is there any way to reverse the upward/downward looking of the mouse control?
It is backwards from Unity and others

Awesome plugin! Only one thing i would polish.
There are very noticeable jumps in camera rotation while moving with keys and rotating camera in the same time. Would be very grateful to have this fixed.Thanks!!
-
Hey guys! Registered just to say thanks for this plugin. SU is a PITA to use without it. Also, I forked the project on GitHub and contributed a PR to fix camera jumpiness and improve some things. PR is here:
https://github.com/AlanChatham/FPSNav-for-SketchUp/pull/2
Fork is here:

You can download my fork here:
