FLOWGRAPH ACTION IMPULSE

HI ALL,

ZHUANGWEI HAS A THREAD ON THE ARCH1101 FORUM THAT IS CALLED "ELEVATOR NOT HOLDING MY CHARACTER" ONE OF THE THINGS I SUGGESTED WAS TO USE AN ACTION IMPULSE NODE TO GIVE THE PLAYER A LITTLE SHOVE 10 TIMES A SECOND ... THIS FORCES THE GAME ENGINE TO UPDATE THE PHYSICS AND CAN HELP WITH YOUR PLAYER FALLING THROUGH THE ELEVATOR GEOMETRY.

YOU SHOULD ALSO CHECK THAT THE ELEVATOR ENTITY IS A BASIC PHYSICS ENTITY AND POSSIBLY SLOW IT DOWN A BIT ...

HERE IS THE FLOWGRAPH I MENTIONED ON THAT THREAD.

CHEERS

FLOWGRAPH ELEVATOR WITH CHILD

HI ALL,

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO A COUPLE OF THREADS ON THE FORUM FROM PAT AND JAIJUN. IT'S BASED ON A FLOWGRAPH THAT VINH MADE A WHILE AGO...

HERE:

https://groups.google.com/group/arch1101-2011/browse_thread/thread/8491983e2957cd2c?hl=en

AND HERE:

https://groups.google.com/group/arch1101-2011/browse_thread/thread/76ef7d21c97b98a6/628c86b9530ce4f1?hl=en#628c86b9530ce4f1

IT'S A BIT OF A STRANGE ONE, AS THE COORDINATE SYSTEM BETWEEN GLOBAL, THE PARENT AND THE CHILD IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT.

WHILE I'M NOT SURE I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND IT THE FLOWGRAPH BELOW WORKS TO ACHIEVE WHAT I THINK PAT WAS AFTER.

THE BOTTOM PART RELATES TO MOVING THE PARENT ENTITY ... AND THE TOP PART SHOWS HOW I'M MOVING THE CHILD ENTITY UP AND DOWN 10 METERS. THE CURRENT POSITION OUTPUT AND LOGIC ONCE NODES WORK TOGETHER TO CAPTURE THE LOCAL COORDINATES OF THE CHILD ENTITY TO SET THE DESTINATION.

FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS BELOW ... I'M GOING TO INVITE VINH TO LEAVE A COMMENT TO SEE IF HE CAN SHED ANY LIGHT ON WHY THIS WORKS ...

CHEERS

FLOWGRAPH REQUEST

HI ALL,

THIS FLOWGRAPH RELATES TO THE QUESTION POSTED ON THE FORUM BY WADE COGLE. TAKE A LOOK THERE TO SEE WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

THE POST IS CALLED: Rotating an Entity with Flowgraph?

CHEERS

CHEERS

USEFUL FLOWGRAPH VERSION 2.0

HI ALL,

THE STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED THE LECTURE WHERE THIS WAS DEMONSTRATED WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS.

THE LAST TIME I POSTED THIS THE IMAGE WAS TOO SMALL TO READ ... THE THUMBNAIL SHOULD HAVE LOADED A LARGER VERSION, THIS ONE WORKS FINE.

IT LOOKS LIKE DRAGGING THE IMAGE AROUND IN THE COMPOSE WINDOW IN BLOGGER CAN HAVE THIS EFFECT. THE SOLUTION IS TO MOVE THE CODE IN THE "EDIT HTML" TAG ... SEE THIS WEBSITE FOR ADVICE ... http://bloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/2008/03/clicking-on-image-does-not-enlarge.html

I USED THIS ADVICE TO PLACE THE IMAGE AT THE END OF THE POST AS WELL. TO SUMMARISE ... I ADDED THE IMAGE USEING THE ADD IMAGE BUTTON IN THE COMPOSE WINDOW, THEN WENT INTO THE EDIT HTML WINDOW AND COPIED ALL THE HTML TEXT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IMAGE, THEN COPIED AND PASTED IT TO WHERE I WANTED IT IN THE POST (STILL IN THE EDIT HTML WINDOW). IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD WAY TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT YOUR IMAGES GET BIGGER WHEN WE CLICK ON THEM ... WHICH IS IMPORTANT AS YOU'VE SPENT SO MUCH TIME MAKING THEM.

CHEERS
