Updated GuiObjectView for TGEA 1.7.1 and 1.8.0

by Jaimi McEntire · 02/01/2009 (12:31 pm) · 26 comments

This is an updated GuiObjectView for TGEA versions 1.7.1 and 1.8.0. This includes new properties for lighting and interaction, and a bug fix.

Link: GuiObjectView Link

What's New:

Bug Fix: If the model is larger than 5 units, the Min and Max distance are automatically adjusted.

Bug Fix: SetSeq (SetObjectAnimation) was doing nothing. Thanks Mike!

New Properties:
Azimuth - The angle of the light around the Z axis (degrees)
Elevation - The Pitch of the light (degrees)
LightColor - The color of the light (ColorF)
Ambient - The ambient color (ColorF)


LockOrbit - Locks the orbit distance (bool)
OrbitDistance - The distance that the orbit distance is locked at (F32)

LockXRotation - Locks the rotation on the X axis (bool)
LockedXRotation - The value the X axis rotation is locked at (F32, Radians)

LockZRotation - Locks the rotation on the Z axis (bool)
LockedZRotation - The value that the Z Axis is locked at (F32, radians)

For example, If you only want the user to scroll around the object (instead of looking at the top and bottom):


MyObjectView.LockXRotation = true;
MyObjectView.LockedXRotation = 0;

Perhaps you want the lighting to be off center, to give a better shaded look:

MyObjectView.Azimuth = 190;
MyObjectView.Elevation = 45;
MyObjectView.Ambient = "0.3 0.3 0.3 1"; // Lower the ambient color

The zip file contains versions for both TGEA 1.7.1 and TGEA 1.8.0 in separate directories.

Still several things I plan to do:

1. Add support for multiple attachments (currently it's limited to 1)
2. Draw a shadow under the player to give a more 3D appearance

Update:

Added animation support thanks to Matt J. The zip file has been updated.

My Objview.cs codes...
/// Callback when the control wakes up.
function RoleOBJView::onWake(%this)
{
...
RoleOBJView.setModel($defaultGame @ "/data/shapes/players/sf001/sf001.dts");
 RoleOBJView.setMount($defaultGame @ "/data/shapes/weapons/Sword/sword001d/sword001d.dts",0);
 RoleOBJView.setMount($defaultGame @ "/data/shapes/equips/Shield/shield001d/shield001d.dts",6);
RoleOBJView.setSeq(2); //walk action
sf001.cs
datablock TSShapeConstructor(sf001Dts)
{
   baseShape = "./sf001.dts";
   sequence0 = "~/data/shapes/players/sf001/ready.dsq root";

The link is dead. If someone could please send me the latest version of the resource I'll host it and update it for TGEA 1.8.1(if needed). thanks!

The domain is back up. Sorry for neglecting to renew it.

I'm currently using TGEA 1.8.2. When I set the model it display nicely with animation.

But if I resize the window in window mode, the texture of the model become black color.

Anyone face the same problem like mine ?
