Sounds like VectorLen() is what you're looking for. I believe 'speed' is just the magnitude of a velocity vector, which is what VectorLen returns, and will always be a positive number.

Can you post a snippet or screenshot of the console log to show the problem? I just tried calling the above on a bunch of random velocities but couldn't reproduce the problem.

Also, what're you using the above code for? Might help figuring out what's happening.

This is definitely helpful and gives me a better idea of where the E/C systems are at. @Azaezel also provided me with a basic SoundComponent last night to look over. I think at this point I'm going to try putting a couple basic entities together just to see how everything fits together. I think even...

I'd like to modify the SkyBox class to blend between two (or more) cubemaps depending on time of day. I've hacked up ScatterSky to do this (have it fading between a day & night cubemap in the shader right now) but it feels like overkill for what I need. ScatterSky does a lot of work simulating light...

Done! Thanks guys.

@Azaezel - Good question. I think I'll need some sort of "beginners guide" or overview of the system - what's there now, what's missing, how to build a basic object out of components, maybe a "hit list" of things that still need testing, etc. It's been years at this point since I tinkered with that ...

So zOffset for ScatterSky has been broken for a while. I looked through the git history and the relevant change was going from this in 3.8: Point3F camPos2 = state->getCameraPosition(); MatrixF xfm(true); xfm.setPosition(camPos2 - Point3F( 0, 0, mZOffset)); GFX->multWorld(xfm); MatrixF xform(proj);/...

@JeffR I'll try to jump on discord this weekend and poke around with the E/C stuff if possible. It's been a while since I've looked at any of it so I'll need a refresher and probably a better idea of what needs to be tested to move it along. I'd like to tackle the ridiculous amount of warnings in th...

Yeah, that's a pretty hefty list. I think we need to be realistic about what the engine is and can become given the size of the community. Torque's strength at this point is being opensource with a permissive license, having best-in-class multiplayer support, and having some built-in features (navme...
