New script object?

#1 Your Coin() function should probably be more like this

function Coin(%worldPos)
{
    %starCoin = new ScriptObject(starCoin);
   
   %starCoin.coin = new t2dShape3D() { scenegraph = t2dScene; };
   %starCoin.coin.setShape("./shapes/starcoin.dts");

   %starCoin.coin.setCollisionActive(true, true);
   %starCoin.coin.setCollisionPhysics(true, true);
   %starCoin.coin.coin.setCollisionCallback(true);
   %starCoin.coin.setLayer($playerLayer);
   %starCoin.coin.setGroup($starGroup);

   %starCoin.coin.setPosition(%worldPos);
   // Orientate the shape in 3D.
   %starCoin.coin.setShapeRotation( "0 90 0" );
   // Set Detail Level.
   %starCoin.coin.setDetailLevel( 0 );
   %starCoin.coin.setShapeScale( "0.1 1 0.1" );


   %starCoin.coin.setSize( 4 );
   //%shape.setLayer($playerLayer);
   //%shape.setGroup($playerGroup);

   // Automatically rotate the shape in 3D.
   %starCoin.coin.setShapeAngularVelocity( "0 90 0" );

}

or like this

function Coin(%worldPos)
{
    new ScriptObject(starCoin)

   starCoin.coin = new t2dShape3D() { scenegraph = t2dScene; };
   starCoin.coin.setShape("./shapes/starcoin.dts");

   starCoin.coin.setCollisionActive(true, true);
   starCoin.coin.setCollisionPhysics(true, true);
   starCoin.coin.setCollisionCallback(true);
   starCoin.coin.setLayer($playerLayer);
   starCoin.coin.setGroup($starGroup);

   starCoin.coin.setPosition(%worldPos);
   // Orientate the shape in 3D.
   starCoin.coin.setShapeRotation( "0 90 0" );
   // Set Detail Level.
   starCoin.setDetailLevel( 0 );
   starCoin.setShapeScale( "0.1 1 0.1" );


   starCoin.coin.setSize( 4 );
   //%shape.setLayer($playerLayer);
   //%shape.setGroup($playerGroup);

   // Automatically rotate the shape in 3D.
   starCoin.coin.setShapeAngularVelocity( "0 90 0" );
}

You create a ScriptObject called startCoin but you reference a local variable called %starCoin...

you also can't set starCoint to a ScriptObject, then set it to another object, you need to set a property under StarCoin, like... starCoin.coin to the shape object.

#2 Ok well almost there..

got everything loading and saving except for the collision...

here is whats going on

creating coins

function sceneWindow2D::onMouseDown( %This, %mod, %worldPos, %clicks )
{
    createCoin(%worldPos);

}

new SimSet( coinSimSet );

function createCoin(%worldPos)
{

    %starCoin = new t2dShape3D(coins) { scenegraph = t2dScene; };
    %starCoin.setShape("./shapes/starcoin.dts");

    %starCoin.setCollisionActive(true, true);
    %starCoin.setCollisionPhysics(true, true);
    %starCoin.setCollisionCallback(true);
    %starCoin.setLayer($playerLayer);
    %starCoin.setGroup($starGroup);

    %starCoin.setPosition(%worldPos);
    //Orientate the shape in 3D.
    %starCoin.setShapeRotation( "0 90 0" );
    //Set Detail Level.
    %starCoin.setDetailLevel( 0 );
    %starCoin.setShapeScale( "0.1 1 0.1" );


    %starCoin.setSize( 4 );

    //Automatically rotate the shape in 3D.
    %starCoin.setShapeAngularVelocity( "0 90 0" );


      
    new scriptObject(Coins)
    {

    Coins = new t2dShape3D(Coins) { scenegraph = t2dScene; };

    setShape = ("./shapes/starcoin.dts");
    position = %worldPos;
    setCollisionActive = (true, true);
    setCollisionPhysics = (true, true);
    setCollisionCallback = (true);
    setLayer = $playerLayer;
    setGroup = $starGroup;


    //Orientate the shape in 3D.
    setShapeRotation = "0 90 0";
    //Set Detail Level.
    setDetailLevel =  0 ;
    setShapeScale =  "0.1 1 0.1" ;


    setSize = 4;

    //Automatically rotate the shape in 3D.
    setShapeAngularVelocity = "0 90 0" ;
    
    };
    coinSimSet.add(Coins);




}

saving coins

function sKey(%val)
{
    if (%val)
    {
       coinSimSet.save("BerksQuest/client/level.cs");
       echo("set saved!");
    }
}

the keybind is in there.. :)


now loading coins

function loadData(%file, %setName)
{
      %file = expandFileName(%file);
      if(exec(%file))
      {
      %count = %setName.getCount();
      for(%i=0;%i<%count;%i++)
      {
         %obj = %setName.getObject(%i);
         %obj.setShape(%obj.setShape);
         %obj.setPosition(%obj.position);
         %obj.setShapeRotation(%obj.setShapeRotation);
         %obj.setCollisionActive(%obj.setCollisionActive);
         %obj.setCollisionPhysics(%obj.setCollisionPhysics);
         %obj.setCollisionCallBack(%obj.setCollisionCallBack);
         %obj.setLayer(%obj.setLayer);
         %obj.setGroup(%obj.setGroup);
         %obj.setDetailLevel(%obj.setDetailLevel);
         %obj.setShapeScale(%obj.setShapeScale);
         %obj.setSize(%obj.setSize);
         %obj.setShapeAngularVelocity(%obj.setShapeAngularVelocity);
         }

          echo("set loaded!");
      }
      else
      {
          echo("invalid file name");
      }

}
function t2dSceneObject::position(%this, %pos)
{
   %this.position = %pos;
   %this.setPosition(%pos);
}

new ActionMap(moveMap);
moveMap.bind(keyboard, s, "sKey");
moveMap.bind(keyboard, l, "lKey");
moveMap.push();

function lKey(%val)
{
    if (%val)
    {
       %file = "BerksQuest/client/level.cs";
       %setName = "coinSimSet";
       loadData(%file, %setName);
       echo("set loaded!");
    }
}

just wondering how to add the collision so it saves.. :)

and loads.. :)

#3 This is whats coming out..

new t2dShape3D(coins) {
      scenegraph = "t2dScene";
         setGroup = "2";
         setDetailLevel = "0";
         setCollisionActive = "(true, true)";
         setShapeAngularVelocity = "0 90 0";
         setShape = "./shapes/starcoin.dts";
         setCollisionPhysics = "(true, true)";
         setLayer = "2";
         setSize = "4";
         setShapeScale = "0.1 1 0.1";
         coins = "1703";
         position = "-40.019073 30.509382";
         setCollisionCallback = "(true)";
         setShapeRotation = "0 90 0";
   };

its not setting the collision right I would think.. :)

#4 I think you need to .setCollisionMasks when you load the coin :)

#5 That fixed it.. :)

function loadData(%file, %setName)
{
      %file = expandFileName(%file);
      if(exec(%file))
      {
      %count = %setName.getCount();
      for(%i=0;%i<%count;%i++)
      {
         %obj = %setName.getObject(%i);
         %obj.setShape(%obj.setShape);
         %obj.setPosition(%obj.position);
         %obj.setShapeRotation(%obj.setShapeRotation);
         %obj.setCollisionActive(true, true);
         %obj.setCollisionPhysics(true, true);
         %obj.setCollisionCallBack(true);
         %obj.setLayer(%obj.setLayer);
         %obj.setGroup(%obj.setGroup);
         %obj.setDetailLevel(%obj.setDetailLevel);
         %obj.setShapeScale(%obj.setShapeScale);
         %obj.setSize(%obj.setSize);
         %obj.setShapeAngularVelocity(%obj.setShapeAngularVelocity);
         }

          echo("set loaded!");
      }
      else
      {
          echo("invalid file name");
      }

}

so now we have a basic idea/tutorial on adding t2d3dshapes into a game, saving them and then loading them again..

so now if I can build a gui that allows yout o pick the shape and then place those.. kind of a pick and drop system.. I can build a level just by placing shapes and they will get added on mission load.. :)

hope this is helpful to others.. :)

#6 Ohhh yeah! Very useful indeed! I'll just have to see if I can get it plugged into my workflow (my programmer patner is busy these days) but it's exactly the sort of thing that wil make my project easier!

Thanks very much for sharing!

#7 No problem..

and it should be easy to just swap out the setShape with anything.. and when you save a set and then later save again it builds onto whats there..

so say you have 10 coins, then later place 10 more and save it adds to the total.. so it would have 20... and so on, which would be nice for say adding coins, swap out coins with some other shape and add those.. they will all save in level.cs..

later I will add level01, level02 and so on
so each level will have its own load file.. :)

tomfeni.. :)
