A8 Commercial Goodies
The A7 Pro-only functions: session_open, session_connect, client_drop, session_close are also available inside A8 Commercial Edition now.
Regions
Wed can now define portal regions; select some objects, and then click "Add Region" to create a region. Portal regions can be used for clipping branches of the ABT or BSP tree and thus make the game run faster, to trigger events, etc.
c_ignore
The c_ignore function tells the c_rotate, c_trace, c_scan, or c_move calls to ignore the specified entity groups, offering a much better alternative to the IGNORE_FLAG2 method.
action group_1() // attach this action to the entities that need to be ignored by player's c_move instruction
{
my.group = 1;
}
action players_code() // attach this action to your player
{
var movement_speed = 20;
VECTOR temp;
set (my, INVISIBLE);
player = my;
while (1)
{
my.pan -= 7 * mouse_force.x * time_step;
camera.x = my.x;
camera.y = my.y;
camera.z = my.z + 50 + 1.1 * sin(my.skill44);
camera.pan = my.pan;
camera.tilt += 5 * mouse_force.y * time_step;
vec_set (temp.x, my.x);
temp.z -= 10000;
temp.z = -c_trace (my.x, temp.x, IGNORE_ME | IGNORE_PASSABLE | USE_BOX) - 2;
temp.x = movement_speed * (key_w - key_s) * time_step;
temp.y = movement_speed * (key_a - key_d) * 0.6 * time_step;
c_ignore(1, 0); // ignore all the entities that have their "group" parameter set to 1
c_move (my, temp.x, nullvector, IGNORE_PASSABLE | GLIDE);
wait (1);
}
}
