Converting This Resource to MS 3.5

by Chris Byars · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/02/2006 (11:58 am) · 3 replies

I can't seem to figure out how to modify the new code in shapeBase.cpp to do what this one did in player.cpp: First/Third Person Weapon Model. Could anyone shed some light?

Thanks. :)

Bump? Basically if the player is in first person, render the mounted weapon image at LOD 1 ( image.shapeInstance->render(1); ). If in any other view, render the mounted weapon image normally ( image.shapeInstance->render(); ).

I used to tack on to the "fogExemption" variable, but now the way things are organized I get an "undeclared identifier" if used as the current resource is made.

I haven't looked at any of your code yet, but why are you tacking on to the "fogExemption" variable...

Assuming that it is for determining 1st person/3rd person? Why not use the global boolean that is already there: $firstPerson.

I'm probably way of base though... heh.

EDIT: Err... your code changes are actual engine changes instead of script, heh. Still, that global script variable should have c++ exposure as well.

EDIT: Its accessible through the GameConnection::isFirstPerson() method
