Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

hi,

the release scheduled next week will also come with a preview of moviecube. its in the SVN feel free to play around and report bugs as well

to test moviecube start sandbox_client_32_movie and use mode 3 (coop edit): commands:
(most of the fps commands will work too, normal bots are disabled for the moment):

editmode: *used as waypoints and spawnpoints for characters
*attr1: character yaw when used as spawnpoint
*attr2: radius/area
*adds a new character definition, you can now add commands to the characters command queue
*add the spawn command to character definition referenced by param name, param state should be always 0 at the moment, param map uid is the unique identifier of the waypoint you want to spawn your character
(every map entity mapmodels, waypoints ... has a unique id, they cannot changed by users)
*lets a characters wait for certain milliseconds
*lets the character walk to a given wayoint

normal mode
*spawns a new character based on character definition given by name, you can repeat this several times

how to use this:

*go into editmode and add some waypoints:
/newent waypoint
*add a new character definiton, a temporary character will spawn in fron of you
/newcharacharacter mychar
*add some actions:
/appendactionwait mychar 0 5000
/appendactionspawn mychar 0 0
/appendactionmove mychar 0 1
/appendactionwait mychar 0 5000
/appendactionmove mychar 0 2
*leave editmode, your temp character will disapear
*spawn a real character
/addcharacter mychar
*and another one
/addcharacter mychar

have fun offtools.

I made this an announcement I can't wait to check it out and I'll be sure to link this post when 2.4.1 comes out Thanks so much for your hard work offtools, I'm very excited to check it out Take care.

we're a bit behind our deadline, but anyway. i uploaded some major changes into the svn:

recent changes:

*query model animations
*overwrites animations, overwrite IDLE animation by animation SWIM or an additional animation
*manage and run gestures (only basic commands)
*simple gui to manage characters and their actions

new commands for characters:

preloadmodel [path] - this will preload a playermodel and stores information about the animations for later use

appendactiondestroy [name] [state] - delete character
appendactionmodel [name] [state] [num] - change model, num is number of the model added by preloadmodel
appendactionspeed [name] [state] [speed] - change speed of the character
appendactionsetao [name] [state] [ao index] [animation num] - change standard animations of an character
appendactionsetgesture [anim num] - set gesture animation
appendactionsethold [name] [state] [anim num] - set animation if characters hold something in his hand
appendactiongesture [name] [state] [time in millisseconds] - do a gesture for several times

detailed docu later.

offtools.

Do you think that eventually Moviecube could be implemented into Sandbox's other modes for cutscenes and stuff?

I think that is one of the main ideas I have to see what offtools is up to these days, last time I heard from him he had a crazy work schedule. Take care!
