I really noticed the speed increase, especially with textures on. Seems strange they didn't do this before

Not sure I understand. Can you post a model that fails and I will take a look.

In Jun 27, putting your code inside a normal event (ontick{...}) crashes. It seems to work in the SVN version, though

Thanks

Another update! I've had to .zip this one, it's just a weeny bit above 4MB. Bigger map, with targets to shoot.

FPS Rig 1.5.zip

Awesome results

Update:

Revamped map (starting the final version). Fixed stuck recoil problem, and the turning when against walls. Still no lag!

FPS rig1.4.skp

It works for me, just not in any events.

My method is quite complicated, but it revolves around a thruster pinning the car to the ground. Try putting -5000 in the thruster setting for the car's body (you might get some odd results, though)

Looks awesome! But I don't understand why you don't smooth as you go, I find it easier to be able to select panels quickly, and it gives me a better idea how the finished model will look...

Okay, should be all fixed. Now with keyboard controls, switchable weapons (added a Semi-automatic pistol), and accel scripts controlling the movement. The recoil and muzzle flash may get stuck on, just fire again to stop it. Have fun!

FPS rig1.3.skp

I had a version with keyboard support, but now I'm working out the kinks in stuff I've added... i.e, it's broken

...but cannot get a Joint settings panel to appear from either a right click properties selection or from the pull down menues. Any ideas please?

Click the UI button, next to play/reset

Removed all plugins and ran sketchup with only Sketchy Physics, and the same error comes up...

I'm pretty clueless about Macs, so I don't really think I can help... sorry

I was wondering if it's not being in an event that did it... still, pretty wierd...

Okay, I made a largeish box, and set it to split (Without putting it in an event, thanks Phy). This is the result:


That's not the worst bit. The objects created jump randomly around, glitch into each other, and often can't be selected to drag at all.

The flickering axes stopped when I saved, but here's the file:

glitchtasia.skp

I LIKE!! (!)_(!)

Stunning!

Did you empty out the folders? The internal folders in the .zip need to remain intact. Extracting to the plugins folder is the easiest way to go

Finally picked this one up again... and it's going pretty well

Sticks=Move/aim
A button=Jump
RT=Fire
LT=Zoom

(C&C welcome)

FPS rig1.2.skp

Technical stuff:
-Movement through setVelocity, and push for jump; this makes it ultra-responsive to controls
-Weapons fire uses SU's raytest, so 'bullets' instantly reach the target. There's also some randomization to the aim, which is reduced when zoomed
-Round impact effects are created through use of a slightly modified version of the stable particleFX system. Rounds will pass through the FX created. Objects move when hit, using setVelocity.
-Not counting the gun and muzzle flash, there purely for show, the rig is only 4 objects, but, really, it should be just 3! This is partly thanks to the single-object camera system.
-I know I'm probably annoying people by not including keyboard support, but it's low on my priorities. Check out Phy's system at http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=19332 if you're feeling impatient

I mean ontick/touch as in:

ontick{
...
}

Try it, see what you get.

1. You guys are blowing my mind. Wacov, when I opened your cloth file my jaw dropped for so long I almost drooled on my cat.

I think it is possible to set events externally with this version. I know the the syntax is a bit weird and I plan to clean it up.

Create a good sized cone and put this in its scripted field.

b=copy
> b._setEvent("ontick",
> <<CODE
>    push([0,0,1])#go forward
>    if(frame>50)
>       destroy #die after 50.
>    end
> CODE
> )

The cone will copy itself and then set the "ontick" event in the copy.

I tried to make an example that uses "ontouch" but it didnt work for some reason. I will have to debug it.

It totally crashes my SU when I try it in ontouch, and freezes the sim in ontick... also, I can't drag the original object. It highlights, and the drag line appears, but no movement

Is there any support for the individual triggers on an xbox controller. IM trying to make a car using them for accelerator and brake but i dont want to use joyRY for various reasons.

I think I see what you want to do... you only want the input from one trigger or the other, not both? If you stil want it to be analog, try:

if joyRY>0.5
joyRY
else
0.5
end

(Reverse to < for the other trigger)

Or, if you just want it to act as on/off:

if joyRY>0.5
1
end

Overall, pretty simple stuff. It can be further shortened with:

joyRY>0.5? joyRY;0.5

or:

joyRY>0.5? 1;0

Hope this helps!

I suppose something of note is my trigger input seems to be reversed... my left trigger gives a positive value, and vise versa.
