Well, I made a house…

I have to say that I had a small fps drop at the end(well it was pretty large number of vertices), and if u can make undo that would be great.

I had to rebuild roof twice because I accidentally pressed x when I meant of c!

And one more thing, why don’t blocks reset when I turn them back off(for example, rotation)?

Edit:

and it is really hard to follow who is who’s child when making something like wall or… house :stuck_out_tongue:

@ivokosir Dude!!! Awesome Job. That is alot of blocks. Today you win the internet.

I need to do a lot of performance fixes and optimization but its more fun to make new blocks.

I need to add a block counter so we can see how many you have. +1 for chimney.

Im going to post it on the blog if you dont mind?



There is a stepper block that uses frequency to say what angle it turns if you want to control rotation better.

after some cpu profiling it looks like my code is spending all its time in

[java]

public void focus() {

CollisionResults results = new CollisionResults();

Ray ray = new Ray(ScriptBlocksApplication.getInstance().getCam()

.getLocation(), ScriptBlocksApplication.getInstance().getCam()

.getDirection());

ScriptBlocksApplication.getInstance().getRootNode()

.collideWith(ray, results);

[/java]

is there a way to limit the distance of a ray? or the amount of results it uses?

Ray.setLimit()?

Also, if this is for mouse over and not clicking, you can do something like only doing collision when the camera has moved and/or not more often than 1/10th of a second… really saves a lot of CPU for relatively little work.
