Socoder -> Blitz -> text smudging across screen?

ShadowIce	Hi all, why is this code making it so that its smudging the moving text? ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Results_Text ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Function Results_Text() load = 0 FlushKeys() FlushMouse() ; image=LoadImage( "Sonic Blitz3d Unleashed Logo.gif" ) ; MaskImage image,0,0,0 ; MidHandle image ; logo = LoadImage("movie/SonicBlitz3DUNLEASHEDLogo3-1.png") ; ScaleImage logo, .8, .8 tx=640+160 nx=-160 ty=280 url$="" url_x=640-StringWidth( url$ ) url_y=480-FontHeight() load = 1 If load font=LoadFont( "Arial", 25,True ) SetFont font Repeat If loaded = 1 If KeyHit(1) Then End EndIf DebugLog "chnsnd: "+chnsnd Color 50,50,255 Text tx+StringWidth(info0$)/5.5,ty+FontHeight()0,info0$,True Color 50,50,255 Text tx+StringWidth(info0$)/5.5, ty+FontHeight()7,"Score",True Text nx+StringWidth(info0$)/5.5, ty+FontHeight()8,"Rings",True Color 50,50,255 Text url_x,url_y,url$ If tx>320 tx=tx-8 If nx<320 nx=nx+8 Flip Until isstart=1 EndIf End Function --v is being called in: ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Game_Stage_Step ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Function Game_Stage_Step() If (Input_Lock = True) Then If (KeyHit(KEY_F1)) Then For p.tPlayer = Each tPlayer p\Action = ACTION_FALLING EntityType(p\Objects\Entity, 0) PositionEntity p\Objects\Entity, Spawn_X, Spawn_Y, Spawn_Z PositionEntity p\Objects\Mesh, Spawn_X, Spawn_Y, Spawn_Z p\Motion\Speed\x = 0 p\Motion\Speed\y = 0 p\Motion\Speed\z = 0 EntityType(p\Objects\Entity, COLLISION_PLAYER) Next ;If ChannelPlaying(ch_stagemusic) Then StopChannel ch_stagemusic : PlaySound Game\Stage\Properties\Music EndIf ; Update game timer and fps count Game\Gameplay\Time = Game\Gameplay\Time+(Game\DeltaTime\TimeCurrentFrame-Game\DeltaTime\TimePreviousFrame) Game\Others\Frames = Game\Others\Frames + 1 If (Game\Others\NextFrame < Game\DeltaTime\TimeCurrentFrame) Then Game\Others\FPS = Game\Others\Frames Game\Others\Frames = 0 Game\Others\NextFrame = Game\DeltaTime\TimeCurrentFrame+1000 End If ; Update gravity alignment AlignToVector(Game\Stage\Gravity, Game\Stage\GravityAlignment\x#, Game\Stage\GravityAlignment\y#, Game\Stage\GravityAlignment\z#, 2) ; Update objects For c.tCamera = Each tCamera : Camera_Update(c, Game\DeltaTime) : Next For p.tPlayer = Each tPlayer : Player_Update(p, Game\DeltaTime) : Next Objects_Update(Game\DeltaTime) ; Update world UpdateWorld(Game\DeltaTime\Delta) ; Update water texture If (FxManager_Supported = True) Then PositionTexture(Game\Stage\Properties\WaterDistortion, Cos(MilliSecs()0.002)4, Sin(MilliSecs()0.002)4) If (Game\Stage\Properties\Water <> 0) Then EntityTexture(Game\Stage\Properties\WaterFX\NormalMesh, Game\Stage\Properties\WaterDistortion, (MilliSecs()0.03) Mod 31, 0) End If End If If (Game\Stage\Properties\WaterTexture <> 0) Then PositionTexture(Game\Stage\Properties\WaterTexture, 0, MilliSecs()0.007) End If ; Render world If (KeyHit(KEY_CTRL_LEFT)) Then FxManager_Activated = 1-FxManager_Activated For c.tCamera = Each tCamera CameraProjMode (c\Entity, 1) ; PositionEntity(Game\Stage\Properties\SkyBox, EntityX(c\Entity), EntityY(c\Entity), EntityZ(c\Entity)) ; PositionEntity(Game\Stage\Properties\Water, Cos(MilliSecs()0.02)4, EntityY#(Game\Stage\Properties\Water, True), Sin(MilliSecs()0.02)*4) If (Game\Stage\Properties\Water <> 0) Then If EntityY(c\Entity) < Game\Stage\Properties\WaterLevel Then CameraFogMode c\Entity, 1 CameraFogColor c\Entity, 70, 80, 120 CameraFogRange c\Entity, 0.1, 90 RotateEntity Game\Stage\Properties\Water, 0, 0, 180 EntityColor Game\Stage\Properties\Water, 255, 255, 255 EntityBlend Game\Stage\Properties\Water, 1 Else CameraFogMode c\Entity, 0 RotateEntity Game\Stage\Properties\Water, 0, 0, 0 EntityColor Game\Stage\Properties\Water, 12, 73, 135 EndIf End If ;EntityType (c\Entity, 0) FxManager_RenderWorldFast() ;EntityType (c\Entity, 3) CameraProjMode (c\Entity, 0) PostEffect_UpdateAll(Game\DeltaTime) Interface_Render() Next ;Text GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2, "LAG TEST",1,1 If (GoalGet = 1) Then Results_Text() EndIf Flip(GAME_WINDOW_VSYNC) End Function --v which is being called in: While(1) Game_Stage_Step() Wend --v the Results_Text() is called when: GoalGet = 1 --v I need for it to update the text WITHOUT using cls, because its part of a menu. And idk why it wont update. its above flip

Mog	Without using CLS, the buffers contents remain- ergo, anything previously left drawn remains on screen and will appear as through you smudged it. Why are you avoiding calling CLS, exactly? -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene

ShadowIce	cuz no matter where i put cls, it makes a black background thats why :S
Fri, 04 Jun 2010, 14:38
shroom_monk	Why don't you want a black background? If you want a different colour, try the ClsColor command to choose a custom CLS colour. -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

ShadowIce	i dont want a background.. i want 2d text to slide across a 3d screen..

Jayenkai	CLS clears the screen, then you redraw the 3D screen, then you put the text on top. You do not "Move" the text. You draw it again. Like if you take your pen, and write "fish" on a piece of paper, then I tell you to write it again somewhere else on the page, the old one stays where it was. You need a blank piece of paper (CLS) you need to redraw everything (renderworld) and then you can draw the text. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

ShadowIce	yes u move the text. cuz i just got it to work. thanks anyway

shroom_monk	How can you move text? It's something that's drawn, not an entity, so I thought you always had to redraw it? -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

bram32	Well, basically you could move text, if you would use a sprite that is textured with a text. Else, indeed, you'd need to redraw it on each frame.

ShadowIce	says u i got it to work w/o sprite in 3d
Sat, 05 Jun 2010, 06:32
CodersRule	Yes, but you're redrawing the text each time. You can't actually 'move' it.
Sat, 05 Jun 2010, 08:11
ShadowIce	yes u can. u move it on its x value. -.-

Mog	....If you're calling TEXT within a loop, You're redrawing it. It's not a 'physical object' like a 3D model (which are still just shapes and lines drawn on this same buffer! they, too, can smudge), just a splotch on the imaginary painting canvas that you moved the brush X amount in whatever direction, and painted again. -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene

shroom_monk	Yeah, each call to Text is a redraw. There is no 'text' entity, so it can't be moved by definition. -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

ShadowIce	well w/e. point is. i got it to work. end of story

Mog	And that's the end goal, but it's one thing to get something to work, and another to understand why it works. You should study these concepts deeply, since they're the bread and butter of your games operation. -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene

bram32	Also, it could be nice if you told us how you solved it? In case somebody else with a similair problem reads this topic in the future.

Stealth	ShadowIce well w/e. point is. i got it to work. end of story If you're going to ask for help, don't be an arrogant prick. The people who responded to your post are excellent programmers. They know what they are talking about. The fact that you wont listen is your problem. -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.
