Inserting character in world

Hi all,

Back in the day, this used to work to insert a character into the world:

Code:

void create(Int ID, Str name, Vec2 position, Flt scale)

{

    Game::ObjParams obj; 

    obj.create(*Game::Objs(UID(xx, xx, xx, xx)));

    obj.scale (true, scale);

    obj.matrix.pos.x = position.x;

    obj.matrix.pos.z = position.y;

    obj.matrix.pos.y = Game::World.hmHeight(position);   

    UID uid; 

    uid.fromText(L"OBJ_CHR");

    obj.type(true, uid);

    super::create(obj);

    Name    = name;

    this->ID = ID; 

    ctrl.actor.mass(1).kinematic(true).collision(true).group(ACTOR_NPC).obj(thi​s);

}

This is what my old code has to insert a character into the world (server sided AI). I have issues finding the equivalent of "Game::ObjParams" [I thought it was ObjectPtr?].

How can I insert a character, like the example above, in the world through code?

Hi Zervox,

Thanks for the information! I should now just debug why spawning that NPC makes my client crash, but it's progress! grin

Good to see you lurking and posting here sometimes!

I regularly lurk around, just very little time to actual post or do development with the engine, but still keeping track of updates and posts, life and all that.

Life is a bit boring and so... Game Engine development and game development never stops!

I have succesfully, manually, inserted the char into a worl without the MMO foundation framework, and I tracked the issue down to server-client communication that is causing the crash now. Getting there! smile
