Turret & AITurret classes, Version 1.20 for TGEA 1.8.1

#1 Thank you.

#2 just some minor changes(5X "ShapeBase*" to "SceneObject*" in turret.cpp, and remove the "void unmount();" from turret.h ) and it works in T3D.

#3 Very nice, I appreciate the update, also thank you to the orginal developers too!

#4 Nice, thx.

#5 hmmm... I get an error when compiling the aiTurret class..
"no matching function for call to 'AITurret::getAnglesFromAimLocation(Point3F&, Point3F, F2&, F32&)"
Any ideas?

#6 this is not an error in objectypes.h, two BIT(27) ?:

// phdana turrets ->
   TurretObjectType =            BIT(27),
   // <- phdana turrets
   /// @}

   /// @name Other
   /// The following are allowed types that can be set on datablocks for static shapes
   /// @{

   ///
   DamagableItemObjectType =     BIT(27),
   /// @}

   ShadowCasterObjectType =	BIT(28)
};

#7 ¿tips for fixing the choppy movement?

#8 I have another issue that I want to see if any of you have had so I can tell if it is my own modifications causing this or this code.

If you have an AITurret on a map and try to throw an object (It doesn't matter what) it will just float and gradually raise into the sky.

Take out the AITurret and even use a regular turret and no problem.

I would really like to know if anyone else sees this.

#9 At this moment i have another issue, i have the teams implementation, and only 1 aiturrent works with several aiturrets, i tried many things without lucky..., i am thinking make my own aiturrent from aiplayer...

#10 I did find the source of my issue and it is stock to TGEA 1.81. I have submitted my findings and a temporary solution here:

#11 hello everybody, i'm trying to implement this resource in T3D and on my game.cs i put the code:
%obj.mountImage( smallTurretGun, 0);
to mount the barrel on the turret, and it doesn't do it and shows an error
"unable to instanciate non-conobject class turret data"

thanks in advance.

#12 deepscratch, you make it work in T3D????? and what changes do you make, because i'm having some problems if you can help me???Thanks

#13 everything is fine now i got it working outstanding resource thanks for the help.

#14 anyone got this working in T3D1.1a ?
I am getting errors trying to compile.
Tried the updates listed in response #2.

Error 22 error C2660: 'SceneObject::getRenderMountTransform' : function does not take 2 arguments c:\Torque\T3D1.1a GMK1.2.7 AiTurret\Engine\source\T3D\turrets\turret.cpp 568
Error 27 error C2660: 'SceneObject::getRenderMountTransform' : function does not take 2 arguments c:\Torque\T3D1.1a GMK1.2.7 AiTurret\Engine\source\T3D\turrets\turret.cpp 901

#15 @Donald - I just got it to compile in T3D1.1b1. I've got some problems in game but I think they're all script related now.

To get rid of the above errors:

To solve the getRenderMountTransform error, use:

mMount.object->getRenderMountTransform(0.0f, mMount.node, mMount.xfm, &nmat);

To solve the getMountTransform error (I had this problem but you don't mention it so maybe you're fine here), use:

mMount.object->getMountTransform(mMount.node, mMount.xfm, &nmat);

And finally, to solve the buildPolyList error, use:

return Parent::buildPolyList(PLC_Export, polyList, box, sphere);

That should give you a successful compile.

#16 Can anyone repost the Zip, its down.

#17 Ditto, the zip is showing up as corrupted when downloaded. Anyone have this, or can kcpdad repost the zip?

Or email it to me, even: ted@takethisouttaheredigitalflux.com

Many thanks!

#18 Hey guys,

I had this file luckily, uploaded it to our server:

turrets1_8_1.zip

#19 @Konrad: Absolutely awesome. Thank you!

#20 So sorry about disappearing the past two years, I had given up on my game development when lore and behold I rediscovered the drive about 2 months ago. Not the hard drive but the desire to write a game. In that time I lost my website so the download vanished.
So thank you Konrad Kiss for backing me up and covering for me during my absence. I put the file in a new location and changed the link in the resource.
On a side note I have went back to TGE because of problems I had porting my game to TGEA(unrelated to turrets). I plan to hold off any further porting until I see if I can get a working game in TGE then the decision will be to port to torque 3d not tgea.
