----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Tue Feb 10, 2009 4:46 pm 3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- I got kinda bored with my space game so i started working on this thing i'll get back to that one eventually. controls : camera: wsad and arrow keys use mouse to select the models and click on the ground surface to tell them to move there(like starcraft) i haven't really thought of what kind of game i want to make with this, so suggestions on the topic are welcome =) ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Tue Feb 10, 2009 9:44 pm RE:3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- Animations are a little sketchy, but certainly a great start. Lighting was a little harsh though. But then I'm on a really old machine, so it may actually look good at a better speed. ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Wed Feb 11, 2009 1:43 am Re: RE:3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- Animations are a little sketchy here i've improved the code it should be much faster now even on an old computer. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Wed Feb 11, 2009 10:39 am RE:3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- Why is it so slow? ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Wed Feb 11, 2009 11:37 am Re: 3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- i'm not sure why it would be slow :( i get 115 frames per second and i got a crappy old ati graphic card with 32 mb memory =/ what frame rate are you getting? and what kind of computer u have? ----------------------------------- wtd Wed Feb 11, 2009 2:45 pm RE:3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- Just as a suggestion, since this is a site intended to help people learn, you may wish to submit source code as well. ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Wed Feb 11, 2009 7:47 pm RE:3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- Oh yes, that's much better. Whatever you did improved the speed extraordinarily. One problem I have though is selecting characters: 1) sometimes I find it hard to find the spot where I'm supposed to click. Make it so I can click anywhere on the character no matter the angle. 2) maybe a drag select might be an idea to run with... 3) I find the fact that it deselects everytime you move the character(s) annoying. Keep up the awesome work ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Wed Feb 11, 2009 9:24 pm Re: 3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- i'll develop better controls thanx for suggestions. Just as a suggestion, since this is a site intended to help people learn, you may wish to submit source code as well. I intend to. the reason i haven't done it yet because the code is a mess i'll have to clean it up a bit. ----------------------------------- wtd Thu Feb 12, 2009 12:42 am RE:3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- You'll get suggestions for cleaning up the code if you show off your messy code. ;-) ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Thu Feb 12, 2009 1:50 am Re: 3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- :D alright so i've improved the controls and fixed the light glitch; controls are exactly like starcraft for picking and moving the units u can also drag the mouse to select more than one at once. the camera controls are the same as before arrow keys and wasd. i still have to do collision between the bots and avoiding. but i haven't though of anything past that yet =) ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Fri Feb 13, 2009 3:17 pm Re: 3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- added movement AI and collisions, i didn't spend much time debugging so report bugs plz ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Fri Feb 13, 2009 9:40 pm RE:3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- Are you path finding? ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat Feb 14, 2009 1:44 am Re: 3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- not exactly, since there can be more than 1 unit moving at the same time i check for collisions in the next frame and if there's a collision i set a temporary target point at a 90 degree angle to the original target which results in the unit moving around the obstacles.if there's a collision when moving towards the temporary taget point, the temporary target points will get recalculated. ############################# ##unit ______ obstacle _____--->target## #########|##### /############# #########|______/############## ############################# it seems to work well. I'll comment the ai code and post it. ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat Feb 14, 2009 1:35 pm Re: 3d Strategy style game ----------------------------------- void moveunit(unit_type &unitp) { double arbx,arby,arbz; ///////////////////////////////action 1//////////////////////////////// if(unitp.action==1)// if unit is in motion { for(int ucounter = 0;ucounter
