Toaster	Okay I am working on some nice AI and right now i am working on the sound part here's my code: AppTitle "AI Sound Test 01" Graphics3D 1024,768,32,1 SetBuffer BackBuffer() Type footstep Field mesh,X#,Y#,Z#,XS#,YS#,ZS#,Alpha#,time End Type ;setup keys Global Key_Forward=17 ;17=W Global Key_Backwards=31 ;31=S Global Key_Right=32 ;32=D Global Key_Left=30 ;30=W Global Key_Speed=42 ;42=Left Shift Global Key_Jump=57 ;57=Space Shift Global SW=GraphicsWidth(),SH=GraphicsHeight() ; Set collision type values Global type_ground=1,type_character=2,type_scenery=3,type_bad=4,type_sounds ;delta time vars Global dt#,NewTime%,OldTime%,TotalTime% NewTime = MilliSecs() OldTime = NewTime ;Setup tweening stuff Const GameUPS=60 ; Updates per second Local Period=1000/GameUPS Local FrameTime=MilliSecs()-Period Local Tween#, Ticks,i,Remaining,StartTime,Elapsed ;Setup Camera Global campiv = CreatePivot() PositionEntity campiv,0,5,0 EntityRadius campiv,1 EntityType campiv,type_character Global Camera=CreateCamera (campiv) PositionEntity Camera,0,.6,0 ;SetCameraFOV(Camera, 120) CameraRange Camera,0.2,10000 ; mouse sensitivity Global mlook_spd# = 10.0 ;speed Global mlook_dmp# = 15.0 ;damper ;Mouse Movement vars Global mlook_yaw#,mlook_yaw2#,mlook_pitch#,mlook_pitch2# Global yVel#=0 ;Create the scene ;Create the ground Global ground = CreatePlane() EntityType ground,type_ground,1 Global box = CreateCube() PositionEntity box,0,1,0 EntityColor box,255,0,0 EntityType box,type_bad ;Setup collisions Collisions type_character,type_ground,2,3 Collisions type_sounds,type_bad,2,3 Global crosshairs=LoadSprite("target.png",1+8,Camera) EntityFX crosshairs,1+4+8+32 MoveEntity crosshairs,0,0,25 EntityOrder crosshairs,-2 HidePointer Global sounds=0 While Not KeyHit(1) Delta_Time() StartTime = MilliSecs() UpdateCamera(Camera) Repeat Elapsed=MilliSecs()-FrameTime Until Elapsed Ticks=Elapsed / Period Tween=Float(Elapsed Mod Period)/Float(Period) For i=1 To Ticks FrameTime=FrameTime+Period If i=Ticks Then CaptureWorld End If UpdateGame() UpdateWorld Next RenderWorld Tween Remaining = Period - (MilliSecs() - StartTime) If Remaining > 1 Then Delay (Remaining-1) ; Free some CPU time End If ;Draw 2D stuff updateHUD() Text 0,0,"Sounds"+sounds Flip Wend End Function CreateQuad(XSize#=1,ZSize#=1,Brush=0) Local Surf Local Mesh=CreateMesh() If Brush>0 Then Surf=CreateSurface(Mesh,Brush) Else Surf=CreateSurface(Mesh) End If Local t=AddVertex (Surf,0,0,0,0,1) AddVertex (Surf,0,0,ZSize,0,0) AddVertex (Surf,XSize,0,ZSize,1,0) AddVertex (Surf,XSize,0,0,1,1) AddTriangle Surf,t,t+2,t+3 AddTriangle Surf,t,t+1,t+2 Return Mesh End Function Function UpdateGame() updatefootstep() If KeyHit(33) Then newfootstep() ; ...

Toaster	So apparently you cant scale an entity once you've started collisions even updating the collisions every loop doesnt work as well. Anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? I dont want to use entity distance since I wouldnt be able to see the sound waves..

Paul	Don't really know what you want to do, but maybe EntityBox or EntityRadius would help?

Scherererer	Yeah if you scale an entity you will also have to change entitybox or entityradius. -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus

Toaster	hmm I tired entity radius doesn't help I am looking at a DLL for collisions its suppose to do dynamic collision with out any problems.

Forklift_Fred	Still not 100% sure what you're trying to do but I just started to look over your code again and you haven't given type_sounds a value so no collisions are being detected! I set it to 5 and when the sphere hit the box everything stopped. I'm guessing that's better than nothing happening at all... -=-=- Come rain or shine...

Forklift_Fred	I see it's the WaitKey() in updatefootstep() that is stopping everything. I replaced it with a global variable increment to count the 'hits' rather than stopping everything and it seems to be going up by 6 or 7 each time and doesn't coincide with the sphere hitting the box at all??? \|edit\| This is because not all sounds have spheres, only every 60th does \|edit\| I also noticed that the spheres aren't being generated from your actual position but along one straight line (presumable along either the x or z axis but I see no reason for this!) -=-=- Come rain or shine...

Toaster	hmm well the spheres are suppose to be created with the user but if its all because I forgot to put a value for the type_sounds I'll be mad. I always forget little things like that.. -Toaster

Forklift_Fred	You're not alone, I make annoyingly stupid spelling mistakes and spend ages trying to work out why something suddenly stops working. The other classic for me is forgetting to set a variable as global. That had me going for well over an hour this week -=-=- Come rain or shine...
