    Ufff Simon smile) How we could use this script, it complicated bro ..? smile
  • #11, by SimonS 12 years ago Quote
    It's doing its job on its own. Just paste it as definition script.

    I played a little around with the old script. That can be easily targeted onto 3D.

    smt_turnactive = false
smt_direction = game.CurrentCharacter.Direction
smt_dest = game.CurrentCharacter.Position
smt_destobj = game.CurrentCharacter.DestinationObject

function angleDist(a,b)
return math.min(math.min( math.abs(a + 360 - b), math.abs(a - 360 - b)), math.abs(a - b))
end

function smoothTurningMainLoop()
local newstate = game.CurrentCharacter.AnimState
local newdir = game.CurrentCharacter.Direction
local c = game.CurrentCharacter
if smt_turnactive and newdir == smt_direction then
c.DestinationObject = smt_destobj
c.Destination = smt_dest
smt_turnactive = false
end
if not smt_turnactive and smt_direction~=newdir then
local turn = false
if newstate == eWalkAnim and smt_state ~= eWalkAnim then
smt_dest = c.Destination
c.Destination = c.Position
smt_destobj = c.DestinationObject
turn = true
end
if newstate ~= eWalkAnim and smt_state == eWalkAnim then
turn = true
end
if turn then
smt_turnactive = true
local start = smt_direction
if math.abs(newdir - smt_direction - 360) < math.abs(newdir - smt_direction) and math.abs(newdir - smt_direction - 360) < math.abs(newdir - smt_direction +360) then
                        start = smt_direction + 360
elseif math.abs(newdir - smt_direction + 360) < math.abs(newdir - smt_direction) then
start = smt_direction - 360
end
game.CurrentCharacter.Direction = start
game.CurrentCharacter:to(angleDist(smt_direction, newdir) * 5, {Direction = newdir})
end
end
smt_direction = newdir
[b]smt_state = newstarte[/b]
end

registerEventHandler("mainLoop", "smoothTurningMainLoop")
    „

    Is this newstarte-thing (line 43) correct?

    And: Can I use this script for 2D-characters (png-frames) Vis is originally making for? Whrere I put the prerendered turning animation into the script?

    Thx

    In fact you can completely remove the line, but it will evaluate to nil = nil, so no problem.
    This script just smoothly changes the angle of the character in between, so more a small fix up. The other script is in another thread. If you have enogh directions you can see the effect, but even with 8 it is better than no turning.

    Thank you. I was irritated about the "newstarte" - it isn't a "start" neither a "state". ;-)
    I want a smooth turn about 180° - my character moves only left to right and reverse. So it looks silly turning immediately from left to right... ;-)

    Like I said: you only really need a single frame per direction for turning to make it look similar to Broken Sword style turning. I would recommend adding 16 directions for turning to make it super smooth but that might be a bit overkill if your game is 1080p & the file-size per each frame is quite large - although you can reduce file-size by replacing all instances of png in the editor with webP format, which is significantly smaller in size & the quality is pretty much the same as the png; well providing you export with quality @ 100% or lossless.

    I believe you (I want to use only 4 frames between left and right), but I don't know how it works. It's the same as in my other thread http://www.visionaire-studio.net/forum/thread/ein-und-aussch.... All pose animations are looped so fitting an extra animation at the start or at the end doesn't work that simple.

    You would need to query before character starts walking if direction needs to change. Simon's script above does that to a certain effect. The script I've been working on uses individual animations instead & is somewhat more precise in calculating closest rotation because I calculate using ranges to return rounded off angles which get added to a temporary table. Unfortunately my script isn't ready yet.

    OK. I don't understand the script, but I try to use it. Look what happens. Thx.

    back to thread: the horror game looks very nice. At the moment (but not now) I am playing "Bioshock" and I think it looks similar sometimes. I remember "Zork" and "Bioshock infinite" which have some strange medical laboratories too...

    @Simon, hey mate it worked very well, thank you realy. But how I may I use the character'a 3d turning data frames when characters is turning. Because now its just turning on its pivot, without character real turn animation.
    Lets say I have the walking animation 0-20 and turn is 21-30. So how I can play the frames 21-30 when the character turns with your script?

    Thank you very much!!!
