Graphics

The best place for you to get started is the mesh anim level.

Essential API

  • Entity::AddComponent<MeshComponent>("pathToMeshFile"): the mesh file to be included here has postfix .scene.xml, like "Zombie/Zombie.scene.xml"
  • Entity::AddComponent<AnimationComponent>(MeshComponent*): add an animation component to an entity
  • AnimationComponent::AddAnimation("pathToAnimationFile", int layer, "startNode", bool additive): add an animation to animation component
  • AnimationComponent::TransitToAnimationState(int state, float time): transit between animations

Code Snippets

Adding mesh and animation, and transiting between animations: 

Entity* player = Entity::Instantiate("Player");
MeshComponent* playerMesh =
    player->AddComponent<MeshComponent>("Soldier/Soldier.scene.xml");
AnimationComponent* playerAnimationComp =
    player->AddComponent<AnimationComponent>(playerMesh);
playerAnimationComp->AddAnimation("Soldier/Soldier_Idle.anim", 0, "", false);
playerAnimationComp->AddAnimation("Soldier/Soldier.anim", 0, "", false);
player->AddComponent<PlayerController>();

playerAnimationComp->TransitToAnimationState(1, 0.2f);
playerAnimationComp->TransitToAnimationState(0, 0.2f);

Adding camera to the scene and setting its properties: 

Entity* cameraEntity = Entity::Instantiate("Camera");
auto* cameraComp = cameraEntity->AddComponent<CameraComponent>();
cameraEntity->SetTransform(Math::Vector3{0, 5, 10}, Math::Vector3{-15, 0, 0},
                           Math::Vector3::one);

cameraComp->SetProperty<Property::FOV>(CONFIG_VAL(cameraConfig.fieldOfView));
cameraComp->SetProperty<Property::NEAR_PLANE>(CONFIG_VAL(cameraConfig.nearClippingPlane));
cameraComp->SetProperty<Property::FAR_PLANE>(CONFIG_VAL(cameraConfig.farClippingPlane));
