Mega-Fiers Get Vertex Position

[jeanfabre]

Hi,

 I have been willing to make a full port of the fantastic Mega Fiers to PlayMaker, and lack of time simply prevented anything to happen until Scottyboombotz found a problem getting the vertex position out of a Mega-Fiers gameObject.

 http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=1414.0

 So indeed, custom actions are required, and here is one to start with. This action will do exactly what the standard GetVertexPosition Does but will work with Mega-Fiers, else Mega.Fiers would cease working as you query for the vertex.

[EDIT] Had a word with Chris West, and I have updated the custom action to better use the api.

Code: [Select]

using UnityEngine;

namespace HutongGames.PlayMaker.Actions
{
[ActionCategory("Mega-Fiers")]
[Tooltip("Gets the position of a vertex in a Mega-Fiers GameObject.")]
public class MegaFiersGetVertexPosition : FsmStateAction
{
[RequiredField]
[CheckForComponent(typeof(MegaModifiers))]
[Tooltip("The GameObject to check.")]
public FsmOwnerDefault gameObject;

[RequiredField]
[Tooltip("The index of the vertex.")]
public FsmInt vertexIndex;

[Tooltip("Coordinate system to use.")]
public Space space;

[RequiredField]
[UIHint(UIHint.Variable)]
[Tooltip("Store the vertex position in a variable.")]
public FsmVector3 storePosition;

[Tooltip("Repeat every frame. Useful if the mesh is animated.")]
public bool everyFrame;

public override void Reset()
{
gameObject = null;
space = Space.World;
storePosition = null;
everyFrame = false;
}

private MegaModifiers megaModifiers;

public override void OnEnter()
{

var go = Fsm.GetOwnerDefaultTarget(gameObject);
if (go == null)
{
return;
}
megaModifiers = go.GetComponent<MegaModifiers>();

if (megaModifiers == null)
{
LogError("Missing MegaModifiers!");
return;
}


DoGetVertexPosition();

if (!everyFrame)
{
Finish();
}
}

public override void OnUpdate()
{
DoGetVertexPosition();
}

void DoGetVertexPosition()
{


if ( megaModifiers !=null)
{
switch (space)
{
case Space.World:
var position = megaModifiers.sverts[vertexIndex.Value];
storePosition.Value = megaModifiers.gameObject.transform.TransformPoint(position);
break;

case Space.Self:
storePosition.Value = megaModifiers.sverts[vertexIndex.Value];
break;
}
}
}
}
}

If you have any questions, or requests, feel free to post

Bye,

Hi,

 Just a post to mention that I update the custom action, for a better usage of the Mega-Fiers api,

Thanks top Chris West for his tips.

More MegaFiers stuff puh-leeeze. All these systems are putting my 3D app into the dirt for functionality;)

TIA

Hi,

 Mega-fiers is on the target for a real treat, but I have pending projects, and I can only take that much... So I'd like to finish my vectrosity set of actions, release an alpha preview of my guiml system and then I will tackle Mega Fier!

 As always, pm me of course if do need actions now.

 Bye,

 Jen

Thanks so much for all you do.

is this meant to work with all the Mega-Fiers? I used bend on a fishing rod test and used get vertex position for the tip of the rod & positioned a cube on the tip (so i could see if it worked) the cube moves to the position of the rod tip when bending but the rod no longer bends.

Hi,

 uhm odd, using my actions should not affect the mega fiers at all. Would you be able to share that scene so that I can debug that?

 As far as I can tell, this action works on all mega fiers modifiers yes.

bye,
