Original Post


You simply have to make a gun, position and rotate it and tell it to shoot using 'SE_FireGun(gunnumber)' and everything will be done for you. You can also use the new Projectiles system to make new types of projectile like rockets or grenades.


tested with DBP 7.0

It requires Cloggys D3D_Func and Sparky Collision.

D3D_Func: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=69221&b=5

Sparky: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=74762&b=5


NOTE: The free commands at the botton need to be changed to work with your engine. If you dont do this the system wont work.


Code:



The Download features 4 demos Compiled and with source code (commented).

Demo1 - Guns
Demo2 - Sound
Demo3 - Projectiles

Ive now made it possible to create guns and custom projectiletypes. It handles pretty much everything such as, projectile movement, gun sounds and particle emitters. Ive just got a bit of polishing and testing to do then ill make a demo and release it here.

line count is now 281



Once ive finnished this i can start on my next code snippet, A new Character Controller for Dark Physics users.

Update is here!

You simply have to make a gun, position and rotate it and tell it to shoot using 'SE_FireGun(gunnumber)' and everything will be done for you. You can also use the new Projectiles system to make new types of projectile like rockets or grenades.


Improvements:

Projectiles can now have an object (like a rocket)
Guns
Sound
Particle Emitters (like smoke behind an object)
Projectile Life (for a little speed increse)

New update to be released later today.

New Features:

Weapon Offseting - While making the FPS Demo ive discovered a problem, you can position and rotate the object to the camera but you cant offset it to make it appear to the right or left. So i added this feature.

Collision Feedback - Using a few simple functions you can find the position, normal, projectiletype and shooter of the projectile which was involved in a collision with an object.


EDIT: Here it is!




Ive Also finnished another demo, an FPS demo:


http://files.filefront.com/Demo5+FPSrar/;12188389;/fileinfo.html



if people start to express at least a little little interest i will write up all the functions, what they do and an explanation of their parameters and returnvalues. Maybe it will make this code snippet easier to understand.

Thanks for the comment

This engine has now been put into one of our games, One, and a video of it showing what the shooting engine can do can be found on the following link:

Im now working on an Open Source FPS Engine to be released on this community. it will feature my Zones system, Shooting Engine and Lighting Engine. Were also thinking about realeasing code for skinned ragdolling in Dark Physics.

Im going to release version 3 soon which is the version used in UberEngine. It will bring animation support to the system. It will also support entitys, muzzlesmoke and muzzleflashes.

This is a great idea! Unfortunately, Code Snippets never gets very much traffic. You should put this in DBPro or WIP.

The Open Source FPS is coming along fine. I will make it into a fully flexible game engine with FPS modules in which you dont have to use.

The Dark Physics Ragdolling needs some very complicated character setup. I have worked out an algorithm to build a capsule around each limb. Although im not sure that many people will want this because it means that each part of every finger will be physical and could decrease FPS by quite alot. However, that seems well in the way of development.

A minimap system is also in Production. It is able to move, rotate and zoom on a map while keeping it in a rectangular viewport.

The Shooting Engine currently isnt in development, Ill start work on it again soon. When version 3 is ready, ill post about it in another board.

Thanks for the comments

Alright, cheers. Ill take a look. there has been issues with filefront recently, maybe they copped up one of my zips.

EDIT: found the problem, you will have to download the first 4 demos (all in 1 zip) to get the missing media.

I mustve wanted to keep the zip size small.

No it isnt. As all engines are different when it comes to killing enemies, I decided just to add a collision system in. Look up how the decals are created in Demo 5 and youll see.

Filefront has decided to take my files down. one by one their just disappearing and I have no idea what the hell is happening. It started when they "shut down" but got saved in the last minute...


EDIT:

look, there were 16 files there a month ago. Now theres just 1:

http://hosted.filefront.com/kaedroho

I officially hate filefront because many of those files are not replacable.


Please expect Version 3 sometime next week. Ive recently got a new computer and im currently installing everything onto it. Ill make sure that Version 3 is finnished soon.

EDIT: Just like to announce that ill be making a whole load of FPS modules for TGC. All of course, open source.

It will start with the shooting engine and a minimap system which supports zooming, rotation and movement.

Sorry, I've been working on BlitzTerrain a lot recently.

I will make sure this gets updated ASAP. I've got another feature to add into BlitzTerrain which will take about a week to add. Then ill start working on this again and hopefully have V3 out shortly after.

BlitzTerrain 1.05 is out!

I would just like to announce my next code.

An advanced muzzle flash system.

When making muzzle flashes, all the time people decide to make loads of plains and face them in all different directions to hope one of them will point towards the camera. This doesn't look very good. So using matrix algebra, I've came up with a solution which will create 1 plain, then rotate it the correct way to make it point directly at the camera. This is better on both speed and realism.

Sounds good.

However i was interested in the demo downloads for your FPS Engine. Is there any chance you will be able to re-upload the demos for download?

BTW it looks very impressive from screen shots.

This is awesome thanks.
Also you didnt include the file 'strapline.png' in the demo5 download, I had to copy it over from the 'shootingengine2' download.

Nothing to see here, move along please.
