- replay bot helping me over the gap
- player is killed and when the rocket explodes a circular sensor is created with outward force which makes the players body fly away
- random joints, holding the body together, are deleted, so you can see players leg and arm being detached from the rest of the body
- weapon spawning on the right
- kill message and respawn timer
I made "replay" bots for target practicing...and vice versa:
I just save my input commands in a file, and during the game another player entity reads the file and uses it to control/move itself. Only aiming is "real time". It's good enough to test stuff, and I already discovered a huge physics bug with it. Hopefully it all works now.
Here are some highlights. It's usually me who gets his ass kicked, because bots are always aware of players position. Still need to add explosions and bullet impulse on hit.
I updated my sensor class (based on Box2D sensors) that keeps track of all the bodies(or fixtures) that are colliding with it. I can override its update method to do stuff with the bodies inside it. I'm using it as a player feet sensor, line of sight, dynamic light and as shown here to apply a force/impulse.
I worked a bit on particle editor and emitters. Changed the way they are added to the map, being updated, etc. There are lot of variables, so it's very time consuming.
This video contains five scenes showing 2D ragdoll physics and some other fun stuff that can be made using Box2D and my editor. The engine is written in C++ and is based on SDL2 and OpenGL.
Here are some features that can be seen in this video:
- skeleton flipping/scaling, joint limits
- custom gravity for maps, mouse joint
- skeleton animation to ragdoll transition
- player controlled vehicles (event-action)
- removing bodies and joints in realtime - railgun
- adding joints in realtime - stakegun
I had to make a map for another video, so I decided to record it and upload a time-lapse. I thought it will go faster, but it took me over an hour. This is the first time I used the new editor to actually make a map. It's great that I managed to work on a map for that long without any crashes.
This video shows only the basic features: - multiple layers - adding sprites - changing textures - scaling and resizing (vertex and line based) - rotating - delete, copy, cut, paste single or multiple sprites using a selection box - paste preview - moving sprites in front or behind each other - moving sprites to a different layer - parallax scrolling - basic Box2D bodies
I have uploaded it as Public Build 1 and updated the manual. You can download it here:
