okay so i did a little test , i created a block ,set it passable , applied a texture "grey" to it
then i assigned the test action script to a object (dont have time to create a player) and used
the camera to trace from.
now here comes the catch with that c_trace approach , the trace hits the surface and when
the surface is hit , the tex name is retrieved , if you are inside of the block there will be NO HIT
and it wil not help .
like i suggested , use a region or min max sizes ,so that you can detect when the player ,like its
center point or something is INSIDE the area ,or whatever other event detection /code/flags stuff you think up .
here is the code i used to test it , now fly around and see for yourseld that , the trace will work
only when you are above the surface of the block because i you are tracing down against the surface here
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
action test()
{
while(1)
{
if(c_trace(camera.x,vector(camera.x,camera.y,camera.z-1000),IGNORE_ME | SCAN_TEXTURE))
{
if(str_cmpi(hit.texname,"grey"))
{
DEBUG_VAR(1,100);
}
else DEBUG_VAR(0,100);
}
wait(1);
}
}
function main()
{
warn_level = 4;
def_move();
level_load("1.wmb");
}
for example try a c_intersect approach
