Ok, so I take it you havnt read the manual.
What you need to do is add the working script to your level.
In 'file', 'map properties' you will find a popup where you can add the script.
Cjoose the folder icon then select your script then save.
Now, if you find the behavior tab and choose 'Behavior', you should be able to select whatever behavior your script file holds, choose the player related one then buid the level and test.
Do read the manual.

Hi!

To be able to see the action you will have to
attach the script to the level.

Files ....> Map properties....>add your script from the folder.

Only entities have a behavior.

Hope this helps.

hi ottawa,

your help is really right on target. well, now i am successful to model my tx and rx.however, i am stuck at the next point.

there are certain variables that tx_action chooses which i have defined in another file. how can i add all script files so that it is visible to my wed file? (i have elaborated this point below)


how can i add number of script files which contain certain functions of the ray-tracer? do i just need to put in the current directory or what else?For instance, when the tx sends rays to rx, there is a function, follow_path, how can i tell wed file to know about this function?


by the way, which tutorial are you referring to? I read the whole tutorial on WED you earlier told me.

The function must be inside an existing script or added to an existing script that is currently being used by the engine, e.g. function main to start the level and the actions and functions preceeding or following ;main.
other wise, you need to 'include' the script to the project first in order to access it.
The engine will not read anything it is not told to read vis include statements or appended to existing script.

Hope that doesnt confuse.

Hi!

Like KiwiBoy says all scripts must be available to your game.

Also :
Giving a name to your entities gives you a lot of power.


The action starts your entity mouvements and the functions
follow the tread that you establish.

hi ottawa and kiwiboy,

thank you so much for your prompt help!

i am done with my program. and it is perfectly simulating as ray tracer. special thanks must go to u guys!

Hi!

Anytime

hello brother,

i have a room which contains a transmitter(laptop..entity) and a receiver (also entity). i wrote a script program which acts as a ray-tracer and outputs the traveled distance of each ray, number of bounces per ray because of reflection etc., pan and tilt of received ray at the receiver.

now i want this program to put two directional antennas on the transmitter and one directional antenna on the receiver to make 2 x 1 system.

1. how can i define the directional antenna so that i know that it is looking toward receiver?
2. how can i define two antennas so that each ray is transmitted from both antenna (redundant data) and moves toward receiver?

P.S: how can i attach a file if i want to send it to you?

cheerz,
asif

Hi Asif

Yes models have a behavior tab...and to see the action that
you wrote in SED...the level must be linked to that file in WED .

In WED : Files ....Map properties...."Choose your script...main.c"

Then you should see the action for your model.

My suggestion is to take a little more time and go thought the tutorials.

If you have #include <default.c> at the beginning of your main.c file
you should be able to move around if you press zero once your in your game.

hi ottawa

thanks for your response. however, i had asked something different which is now resolved.

next, in my ray-tracing program, i implemented reflection phenomenon and ignored refraction etc. now i want to add this feature as well. i can do programming part (scripting). however, i am confused how i will handle two rays. let me explain it in a bit detail.

currently, there is a function (follow_path) in my script file which keeps track of a ray until it reaches receiver or lost by taking into account reflection.Now, if i introduce refraction, there will be two rays if a ray hits some glass material (one reflected and one refracted) and both should be tracked correctly. the reflected is already being tracked. how can i track refracted ray once i calculate it. i am thinking the program tracks only single for any given time so how will it handle this issue.

i hope i have clarified my question, if not, i can send you my function if you lemme know how to attach a file here in this forum.

cheerz
