The video attached shows the issue, the code controlling the ammo count, and the viewport/camera properties. I would like the ammo count to stay in place, rather than moving with oPlayer.
I'm new to Game-maker and game development in general, this is my first time trying to make a GUI, so issues in my code/room setup are to be expected.
Any and all help would be appreciated!

Code:
var vc = view_camera[0];
var cx = camera_get_view_x(vc);
var cy = camera_get_view_y(vc);
var cw = camera_get_view_width(vc);
draw_set_colour($000000);
draw_text(cx + (cw / 10),cy + 32, string(ARmaxclipammo) + string("/") + string(ARmaxammo));
The position of your text is set equall with the position of the camera. So if the camera moves in the room, The text will move across the screen as well.
You don't need to set the text position to follow the camera, because DrawGUI already allows that. All you need to do is to show the specific position of the text where you want to show it on screen.
So, as example in your code:
var cx = 50;
var cy = 50;
Will show it in the position of (50x, 50y), and DrawGUI already let it follow the camera.

I followed this blog for adding tooltip for each point implemented using Three.PointCloud. I used world2Screen to get the location of individual points and tried using this
elem = document.elementFromPoint(x, y)
but continuously only get canvas as the output (and thus tooltip at a fixed position) instead at the clicked/hovered point.
Anyone who has may be implemented this and knows any work around.
Thanks in advance
According to the blog, the document.elementFromPoint() is used to check if the cursor isn’t over the canvas. If you want to capture the hit point of the mouse clicked one, your own raycaster can help in this case. For example:
var x = ((event.clientX - viewer.canvas.offsetLeft) / viewer.canvas.width) * 2 - 1;
var y = -((event.clientY - viewer.canvas.offsetTop) / viewer.canvas.height) * 2 + 1;
var vector = new THREE.Vector3(x, y, 0.5).unproject(this.camera);
this.raycaster.set(this.camera.position, vector.sub(this.camera.position).normalize());
var nodes = this.raycaster.intersectObject( this.pointCloud );
In the above code snippet, the event object is from the mouse clicking event, see here for detail: https://github.com/wallabyway/markupExt/blob/master/docs/markupExt.js#L48
I have a Box Mesh where I subtract another Box with Three.CSG to create a wall with a window.
After doing so, there are tiny holes in the Mesh alongside the cut. They are not visible alle the time, but show up when moving around.
How to close these holes?
This is part of the code how I am creating the Mesh:
var wallBsp = new ThreeBSP( myWallMesh );
var subMesh = new THREE.Mesh( mygeo );
var subBsp = new ThreeBSP( subMesh );
var subtract_bsp = wall_bsp.subtract( subBsp );
var result = subtract_bsp.toMesh();
result.material.shading = THREE.FlatShading;
result.geometry.computeVertexNormals();
Update
I have created a jsfiddle, but it is difficult to reproduce the error, I couldnt make it visible there: http://jsfiddle.net/L0rdzbej/23/
However, you can see the full application here.
Like #gaitat suggested, geometry.mergeVertices() does not look like it changes anything for me. Chandler Prall hinted at the source where precisionPoints, which is a variable inside the mergeVertices function, could solve this. Depending on the scale of the scene its value should be lower or negative, but I had no success so far.
i want to show a mesh (like gunshot) in front of my perspective camera(with first person controls) i wrote this code in the render function of my page:
var pos = camera.position;
var rot = camera.rotation;
shot.rotation.x = rot.x;
shot.rotation.y = rot.y;
shot.rotation.z = rot.z;
shot.position.x = pos.x;
shot.position.y= pos.y;
shot.position.z = pos.z + 500;
if i just change the position of my camera its good, but if i change the camera's rotation i don't see the shot in front of that.
how can i do this?
It would seem that you need to make the "shot" a child of the camera. It's not clear from your example whether you're doing that already, but this should make the shot move around with the camera properly.
I've written a home-brew view_port class for a 2D strategy game. The panning (with arrow keys) and zooming (with mouse wheel) work fine, but I'd like the view to also home towards wherever the cursor is placed, as in Google Maps or Supreme Commander
I'll spare you the specifics of how the zoom is implemented and even what language I'm using: this is all irrelevant. What's important is the zoom function, which modifies the rectangle structure (x,y,w,h) that represents the view. So far the code looks like this:
void zoom(float delta, float mouse_x, float mouse_y)
{
zoom += delta;
view.w = window.w/zoom;
view.h = window.h/zoom;
// view.x = ???
// view.y = ???
}
Before somebody suggests it, the following will not work:
view.x = mouse_x - view.w/2;
view.y = mouse_y - view.h/2;
This picture illustrates why, as I attempt to zoom towards the smiley face:
As you can see when the object underneath the mouse is placed in the centre of the screen it stops being under the mouse, so we stop zooming towards it!
If you've got a head for maths (you'll need one) any help on this would be most appreciated!
I managed to figure out the solution, thanks to a lot of head-scratching a lot of little picture: I'll post the algorithm here in case anybody else needs it.
Vect2f mouse_true(mouse_position.x/zoom + view.x, mouse_position.y/zoom + view.y);
Vect2f mouse_relative(window_size.x/mouse_pos.x, window_size.y/mouse_pos.y);
view.x = mouse_true.x - view.w/mouse_relative.x;
view.y = mouse_true.y - view.h/mouse_relative.y;
This ensures that objects placed under the mouse stay under the mouse. You can check out the code over on github, and I also made a showcase demo for youtube.
In my concept there is a camera and a screen.
The camera is the moving part. The screen is the scalable part.
I made an example script including a live demo.
The problem is reduced to only one dimension in order to keep it simple.
https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/cam-positioning/4772921545326592
var a = (mouse.x + camera.x) / zoom;
// now increase the zoom e.g.: like that:
zoom = zoom + 1;
var newPosition = a * zoom - mouse.x;
camera.setX(newPosition);
screen.setWidth(originalWidth * zoom);
For a 2D example you can simply add the same code for the height and y positions.
I am looking to make a photoshop action (maybe this isn't possible, any other application recommendations would be helpful as well). I want to take a collection of photos and make them a certain aspect ration, ex: 4:3.
So I have an image that is 150px wide by 200px high. What I would like to happen is the image's canvas is made to be 267px wide, with the new area filled with a certain color.
So there are two possibilities I can think of:
1) Photoshop actions could do this, but I would have to pull current height, multiply by 1.333333 and then put that value in the width box of the canvas resize. Is it possible to have calculated values in Photoshop actions?
2) Some other application has this feature built in.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Wow, I see now (after writing the answer) that this was asked a long time ago. . . oh well. This script does the trick.
This Photoshop script will resize any image's canvas so that it has a 4:5 aspect ratio. You can change the aspect ratio applied by changing arWidth and arHeight. The fill color will be set to the current background color. You could create an action to open a file, apply this script, then close the file to do a batch process.
Shutdown Photoshop.
Copy this javascript into a new file named "Resize Canvas.jsx" in Photoshop's Presets\Scripts folder.
Start Photoshop and in the File - Scripts menu it should appear.
#target photoshop
main ();
function main ()
{
if (app.documents.length < 1)
{
alert ("No document open to resize.");
return;
}
// These can be changed to create images with different aspect ratios.
var arHeight = 4;
var arWidth = 5;
// Apply the resize to Photoshop's active (selected) document.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// Get the image size in pixels.
var pixelWidth = new UnitValue (doc.width, doc.width.type);
var pixelHeight = new UnitValue (doc.height, doc.height.type);
pixelWidth.convert ('px');
pixelHeight.convert ('px');
// Determine the target aspect ratio and the current aspect ratio of the image.
var targetAr = arWidth / arHeight;
var sourceAr = pixelWidth / pixelHeight;
// Start by setting the current dimensions.
var resizedWidth = pixelWidth;
var resizedHeight = pixelHeight;
// The source image aspect ratio determines which dimension, if any, needs to be changed.
if (sourceAr < targetAr)
resizedWidth = (arWidth * pixelHeight) / arHeight;
else
resizedHeight = (arHeight * pixelWidth) / arWidth;
// Apply the change to the image.
doc.resizeCanvas (resizedWidth, resizedHeight, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
}
Mind that the accepted answer from #user268911 may not work for you if the source image has different pixels/inch than 72. Because the UnitValue.convert function works correctly only with 72 px/inch. To be sure the conversion is correct for ever pixel/inch value, set baseUnit property as follows:
...
var pixelWidth = new UnitValue (doc.width, doc.width.type);
pixelWidth.baseUnit = UnitValue (doc.width.baseUnit, "in");
var pixelHeight = new UnitValue (doc.height, doc.height.type);
pixelHeight.baseUnit = UnitValue (doc.height.baseUnit, "in");
...
For more details about the conversion see "Converting pixel and percentage values" section of the Adobe JavaScript Tools Guide.
What languages do you know? ImageMagick has command line tools that can do this, but you'd need to know a scripting language to get the values and calculate the new ones.
For .NET, my company's product, DotImage Photo, is free and can do this (need to know C# or VB.NET)
