Problems with action map

by Darren Stuart · in Torque Game Builder · 03/31/2005 (5:59 am) · 5 replies

I am working on the tutorial.

I have put all the code upto playerUpStop() function into setupT2DScene() function.

I have tried with the functions out of the setupT2DScene() function but it will not move the ship if I press W at all.

heres the code.







// --------------------------------------------------------------------
// Setup T2D Scene.
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
function setupT2DScene()
{
// Create fxSceneGraph2D.
new fxSceneGraph2D(t2dSceneGraph);

// Associate Scenegraph with Window.
sceneWindow2D.setSceneGraph( t2dSceneGraph );

// Set Camera Position to be centered on (0,0) with
// view width/height of (100/80).
sceneWindow2D.setCurrentCameraPosition( "0 0 100 75" );


// ************************************************************************
//
// Add your custom code here...
//
// ************************************************************************
datablock fxImageMapDatablock2D(playershipImageMap)
{
mode = full;
textureName = "~/client/images/playerShip";
};
$player = new fxStaticSprite2D() { scenegraph = t2dSceneGraph; };
$player.setPosition("-35 0");
$player.setSize( "14 7" );
$player.setImageMap( playershipImageMap );


// set up the enemy
datablock fxImageMapDatablock2D(enemyship1ImageMap)
{
mode = full;
textureName = "~/client/images/enemyship1";
};
%enemy = new fxStaticSprite2D() { scenegraph = t2dSceneGraph; };
%enemy.setSize( "14 7" );
%enemy.setPosition("40 0");
%enemy.setImageMap( enemyship1ImageMap );

// move the enemy towards us.
%enemy.setLinearVelocityX(-20);


// Create a new action map.
new ActionMap(playerMap);
// Bind keys to actions.
playerMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "w", "playerUp();", "playerUpStop();");
playerMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "s", "playerDown();", "playerDownStop();");
playerMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "a", "playerLeft();", "playerLeftStop();");
playerMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "d", "playerRight();", "playerRightStop();");
playerMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "space", "playerFire();", "");
// Activate the action map.
playerMap.push();



function playerUp()
{
// Set the player moving up.
$player.setLinearVelocityY( -$10 );
}

function playerUpStop()
{
$player.setLinearVelocityY( 0 );
}


}

Change
$player.setLinearVelocityY( - );
to
$player.setLinearVelocityY( -10 ); // removed the '$'

It was a typo in the tutorial. ;)

Okay, I've got a really confusing one, too. I'm trying to move the sprite left or right. It works fine with the keyboard, but not with the mouse.

Here is the code:
function Player::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
    $player = %this;

    new ActionMap(moveMap);

    moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "a", "playerLeftMove();", "playerLeftStop();");

    moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "d", "playerRightMove();", "playerRightStop();");

    moveMap.bindCmd(mouse0, "xaxis", "playerLeftMove();", "playerLeftStop();");

    moveMap.push();
}

function playerLeftMove()
{
    $player.setLinearVelocityX( -15 );
}

function playerLeftStop()
{
    $player.setLinearVelocityX( 0 );
}

function playerRightMove()
{
    $player.setLinearVelocityX( 15 );
}

function playerRightStop()
{
    $player.setLinearVelocityX( 0 );
}

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? THis code was based off the fish tutorial pdf file.

I don't think you can bind the xaxis like that. It's probably calling BOTH functions instead of just the one you want... Try something like this instead:

Change
moveMap.bindCmd(mouse0, "xaxis", "playerLeftMove();", "playerLeftStop();");

to
moveMap.bindCmd(mouse0, "xaxis", playerXAxisCheck);

then add this function
function playerXAxisCheck(%val)
{
     if (%val < 0)
     {
          playerLeftMove();
     } else if (%val > 0)
     {
          playerRightMove();
      } else
      {
          playerRightStop();
      }
}

*note* I haven't tested that code, but I THINK it should work.
