Q3D V-2.4 [3D Physics + Skeletal Animation UPDATE]

adding a horde based survival mode.

I am adding it so that way you can play on your own. but it will still work online for co op play

Just move the character? I'm not sure how to answer that as it depends on what you need moved, how it is moved, and what it interacts with. is it with default behaviors or something custom? are physics involved? Et cetera. It's not really a one size fits all thing.

as for me I use physics movement. at the start of a players movement I set their velocity to zero. and then move them using the following physics velocity addition.

x =(cos(angle_of_movment+player.angle)) * move_speed

y =(sin(angle_of_movment+player.angle)) * move_speed

sine and cosine works like an orbit. with angle_of_movment+player.angle specifying the angle relative to the center.

angle_of_movment is the direction the player needs to travail represented as an angle between 0 and 360 (forward, backward, ect) however this number by itself will give the wrong direction as it is relative to the world. not the direction you face. hence...

player.angle is the direction the player is facing. by adding this to the angle the player needs to go it makes the angle_of_movment relative to the player

bot support is coming along much nicer than I thought it would. Bots and players don't do damage to each other yet. but that will come.

bots are red and players are yellow atm. players will be able to choose a color later. but for the sake of telling the bots apart from the players I kept it this way for now.

no idea why their animation is getting stuck on the same frame. will need to look into that

I’m not going to make a video on it as I don’t really have time. But also the truth is thats really it. All I did was add a physics behavior to the player. Every tick during the players movement the physics velocity is set to zero. And then I apply a physics force to the object in the direction I want the player to go. Then the physics behavior takes care of the rest. There is really not much more to it than that.

Here is a picture of the code. I would suggest you gleam from it what you can and apply it to your own needs. something to keep in mind is my world is actually 2d. and I render the 3d one on top of it. so all of my movement is done with the normal C2 commands. I then use "on created" and "on destroyed" events to set up the 3d world. then those 3d assets are positioned in the same place as their 2d counterpart.

I would suggest you experiment with it a bit. If you get stuck I will be happy to help iron out any issues. but again this is something you have to do for your own project. My code is custom made for my own needs.

A Quick update on my progress in the 3D Gamemode, soon to be added to DriftKing2D on Steam.

If there are any questions regarding Q3D, please ask. :)

I didn't find the time to write a proper tutorial yet, But a screenshot and comment i can do.

I've also got Local Multiplayer (Splitscreen up and running right now!)

May i suggest everyone to join my Discord channel: discord.com/invite/AKsQjr

I made a channel specifically for Q3D in which i plan to Collect as much documentation as possible which should speed everyone's development up by a lot.

So we can more easily collaborate, share some info with each other (Especially sample screenshots of ingame & code!)

This plugin still has some serious potential, But there's pretty much no documentation available! Why waste hours in figuring out why somethign works the way it does when we can make a proper manual? -Also very useful for our own future uses!)

Let's stop the endless trial&Errors once and for all shall we?
