Basics of FPS 2
This is the version 2 update to "Basics of FPS". It includes requested features.

• Included the rotating HUD map
  
• Included 3d gravity (with jumping!)
  
• Importing a 3d model into GM
  
• Included a gun model which rotates along with the camera. I know the model is bad and has no texture, but it's just to show how the rotating is done

Great Great Great! Could you insert the 3d men into this and make it so you can shoot them? Make yours run a little slower though! Or you could use my WW2 man. I never got a clear look at your 3d man, but it looked better than mine.

stewrat, you could just put your own men in. Just take your draw codes, and then make a person called "Enemy" in the example, then put all the creation codes, and then just program the paths and movment and stuff

too bad I cant look at any of these games right now, since my other computer that I have pro on isnt turning on rightnow...

looks real nice now that I played it. Also, stewrat mentioned you made some 3d men? What topic is that under?

there should be a gun and a hud map

Updated to version 2. Includes the requested features!

For some reason I cant get the model Gun1 to work. I put it in the same folder as the game, and its still named Gun1... But it isnt showing up...

hm wierd nvm now It did show up...

//draw the block
d3d_draw_block(x-64,y-64,1 ,x+64,y-64,128,background_get_texture(bac_Crate),1,1)

This doesnt work in this example, whats wrong with it?

Code:

//draw the block
d3d_draw_block(x-64,y-64,1 ,x+64,y-64,128,background_get_texture(bac_Crate),1,1)

the 2 y's have a -64 on them, making them the same might make the block disappear. if your making a wall try using

Code:

d3d_draw_wall(x,y,z,x+128,y,128,tex,1,1);

and bac_crate might need to be spelled back_crate.

Remember you can use d3d_draw.. functions for testing things out, but make sure everything in the real game needs to be a model.

slayer those suggestions didnt work, and Im drawing a box, not a wall. The wierd thing is that this codes always worked before

Code:

d3d_draw_block(x-64,y-64,1 ,x+64,y+64,128,background_get_texture(back_crate),1,1)

well i put this in room maker and it makes a 64x64 box, is your texture transparent? idk what to tell you this code works. did u turn on hidden surface removal? d3d_set_hidden(0); if that is off then things look strange. maybe u are drawing a health bar on the screen, and u have to set an orthographic projection. so make sure the depth of that object is -1000 or something. is the depth of the object that sets the projection 1000 it should be so things look 3d and not 2d.

Not really.

It all depends on the drawing order, actually. I can prove it, since in my engine every single instance is depth 0. You just need to make sure you draw the camera first, than everything 3d, than the orthographic view.

You can do this in a very complicated way, which will lead to really interesting drawing and speed techniques, but you might as well set good depth. You just need to make sure the camera has the lowest depth of all instances (I would use 8192), and have an instance specifically for the hud have a depth greater than all instances (I would use -8192).

yea, yea, phantom your right as always.

hm now it did draw them but thier at randomized hieghts, and they move around with the character. I have no clue why this isnt working, It allways has before...
