THE THIRD DIMENSION
KIT PROBLEMS sent in from the problem questionnaire.
Q.I have just created a house with a door that takes me to a new
area.When I collide with the door I end up in the middle of the
new area and not at the inside door.This new area has an
Entrance 1.
A.Go to the new area,delete your Entrance 1,then place your back
against the inside door.Now create a new entrance.You should find
that this now works.Remember to always delete the first Entrance and
to create your own in a new area because new areas always have an
entrance 1 ready to use.
-----------
Q.I have made an object wireframe via its attributes.When I reset
the game it ends up being solid again.
A.Either make the objects attributes Default setting set to WIR
or add an area condition saying-
MAKEWIRE (2)
The two in brackets is the object number.
-----------
Q.I have created a floor rectangle to use as a trigger to set off
a video sequence but it does not always work.
A.Either move the rectangle slightly up from off the floor or use
a flattened cube to a depth of 8 units instead as it will
probably work better and detect your 'If Collided?' command.Your
condition should say-
IF COLLIDED?
SEQUENCE (1)
ENDIF
------------
Q.How do I create a simple animation for my car.
A.Make sure that all the objects that you have used to make the
car are placed into a group object.Next make sure that all the
objects attributes are set to moveable.Now select Create
Animation from the top menu,then Edit animation.Now enter this
into the animation-
INCLUDE (7)
LOOP (30)
MOVE (20,0,0)
AGAIN
The Include 7 command is the cars group of objects number.Change
it to suit.
Now to trigger the animation add a condition to an object E.g the
floor object 1.Enter this-
IF SHOT?
STARTANIM (1)
ENDIF
Now reset and shoot the floor.The car should move!
-------------
Q.How do I disable the player from shooting?
A.Create then edit an area condition.Add this code to it-
SETVAR (V20.0)
Reset,then enter the area and try to shoot!
-------------
Q.When I pick up a jet pack how do I change to Fly mode?
A.Give the jet pack object this condition-
IF ACTIVATED?
MODE (2)
ENDIF
------------
Q.When I keep altering my Video sequence in kit 2 the game
crashes.What can I do?
A.Try to get the sequence correct the first time.Before creating
a video sequence save your game.Next,record your sequence and if
it goes terribly wrong simply load up the previously saved game
file then record it again.This will stop it crashing.The video
sequence recording is renowned for crashing the game when it is
altered several times!
