My 5'th resource @ Garagegames "3D Arrow aiming to objective target"

http://www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/16675

This resource will give you a 3D arrow (or any object you like) aiming to the target object you want.

This is the preview of how this works.


you can download it here www.geocities.com/herrudarmadi/3darrow.zip
place it on data/shapes/direction/arrow.dts

first add this to your server/game.cs

$aimTarget = 0;

function GameConnection::AimTarget( %this )
{ 
 if($aimTarget)
 {       
    %player = %this.player;
    %target = $aimTarget;
  
    %playerTrans = (%player.getTransform()); 
    %xPlayer = getWord(%playerTrans, 0);
    %yPlayer = getWord(%playerTrans, 1); 
    %zRot = getWord(%playerTrans, 5);
    %playerRot = getWord(%playerTrans, 6);
     
    %targetPosition = (%target.getPosition());
    %xTarget = getWord(%targetPosition, 0);
    %yTarget = getWord(%targetPosition, 1);
     
    %xDiff = %xTarget - %xPlayer;
    %yDiff = %yTarget - %yPlayer;
  
    // dont have to change it to degrees
    // torque engine automatically change it to degrees
    %rotToTarget = mAtan(%xDiff, %yDiff);
  
    if(%zRot < 0)
         %playerRot = (2 * 22/7) - %playerRot;
            
      // multiply by -1 because the rotation in 3dspace is 
      // oppositing the guiobjectview rotation
      %rotation = -1 * (%rotToTarget - %playerRot);
         
      commandToClient(%this, 'SetDirection', %rotation);
   }
   %this.schedule(100, AimTarget);
}

on the client/ui/playgui.gui add

new GuiObjectView(direction) {
    canSaveDynamicFields = "0";
    Profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
    HorizSizing = "center";
    VertSizing = "bottom";
    position = "244 94";
    Extent = "149 149";
    MinExtent = "8 2";
    canSave = "1";
    Visible = "1";
    hovertime = "1000";
    applyFilterToChildren = "1";
    cameraZRot = "0";
    forceFOV = "0";
    lightDirection = "-0.57735 -0.57735 -0.57735";
    lightColor = "0.6 0.58 0.5 1";
    ambientColor = "0.3 0.3 0.3 1";
    emapAmount = "1";
 };

and on the client/playgui.cs add

function PlayGui::onWake(%this)
{
 // Turn off any shell sounds...
 // alxStop( ... );
 $enableDirectInput = "1";
 activateDirectInput(); 
   direction.setObject("gb","mod/data/shapes/direction/arrow.dts","","");

 // Activate the game's action map
 moveMap.push();
}

function clientCmdSetDirection(%rotation)
{
 direction.setRotation(0,  %rotation );
}

how to use it ?

just set the $aimTarget to any object id in your mission.
then call the gameConnection method aimTarget().

that's it, hope this resource usefull. cheers!

If you want it in your project, just contact me and i'll give it for free ^^.

Watermark for TGE

Sometimes you dont want your engine used by other, so why dont use watermark ?

add this snippet to your engine/gui/core/guicanvas.cc on void GuiCanvas::renderFrame(bool preRenderOnly, bool bufferSwap /* = true */) exactly after

if (cursorON && mouseCursor && mShowCursor)
{
      Point2I pos((S32)cursorPt.x, (S32)cursorPt.y);
      Point2I spot = mouseCursor->getHotSpot();

      pos -= spot;
      mouseCursor->render(pos);
}

This is the code, and after adding this you should rebuild the engine.

// enable/disable watermark ?
bool WT = true;

      if(WT)
      {
         // get the default profile for text
         GuiControlProfile *mtProfile;
         mtProfile = NULL;

         // Ok lets check to see if that worked
         if( !mtProfile ) {
            SimObject *obj = Sim::findObject( "GuiDefaultProfile" );

            if( obj )
               mtProfile = dynamic_cast(obj);
            else
               return;
         }

         if(mtProfile)
         {
            // changed the text into your watermark text
            const char* wtText = "TGE Licenced HD";

            ColorF mForegroundColor;
            mForegroundColor.set( 1, 1, 1, 1 );
            ColorI mFillColor;

            //Vars used:
            //Screensize (for position check)
            //Offset to get position of cursor
            //textBounds for text extent.
            Point2I offset;
            Point2I textBounds;
            S32 textWidth = mtProfile->mFont->getStrWidth(renderTip);

            //Create text bounds.
            textBounds.x = textWidth+8;
            textBounds.y = mtProfile->mFont->getHeight() + 4;
           
            //Offset below cursor image
            offset.y = size.y - textBounds.y - 10;
            offset.x = size.x - textBounds.x - 10;

            // Set rectangle for the box, and set the clip rectangle.
            RectI rect(offset, textBounds);
            dglSetClipRect(rect);
           
            mFillColor.set(0,0,0,255);
            dglDrawRectFill(rect, mFillColor);
           
            mFillColor.set(255,255,255,255);
            dglDrawRect( rect, mFillColor );

            // Draw the text centered in the tool tip box
            dglSetBitmapModulation( mForegroundColor );
            Point2I start;
            start.set( ( textBounds.x - textWidth) / 2, ( textBounds.y - mtProfile->mFont->getHeight() ) / 2 );  
            dglDrawText( mtProfile->mFont, start + offset, wtText, mtProfile->mFontColors );
            dglClearBitmapModulation();

            // end hd watermark
         }
        
         // free the pointer ?
         mtProfile = NULL;
      }
