Minecraft in Scratch E2 | Texturing Blocks and Optimization

[@RonicTheEgg]

you can add an extra 2-10 FPS by making a variable called "Rotated". then wrap an if statement around the variable blocks that calculate the sin and cos of the directions, make the condition "ïf Rotated = 1". at the start of move camera, set rotated to 0 and set rotated to 1 if the camera changes direction, this makes it so that you dont have to constantly calculate the sin and cos of the directions

[@FindingPepper]

Oh that's a good idea!

[@jeandang8376]

Could the next episode in this series (after collisions) be about placing blocks? We could use the "place block at…" custom block, but I am not sure how we could define where to place it with the mouse, since it could theoretically be anywhere…

[@FindingPepper]

Sure, I can do a poll when we get closer! Placing blocks isn't actually too hard because we can make use of our raycasting and the "view x" and "view y" variables.

[@joshuabarqueesimeth4530]

i believe you can make the ray that shoots directly in the middle of the screen a crosshair, and make it to where if the mouse is pressed and the ray is casting on a block it should remove the block at the position the ray casted, its the same for placing a block but change the mouse button to another button and check for the position of the ray before it collides with a block to place a block on a block face your looking at.

could you add terrain generation based on seed in nexr episode?

[@DaAlphaDawg]

For people who want to boost the FPS u can use Turbowarp and set the FPS to "250" which is the max fps you can set. But if you want to add delta time to the movement you use Griffpatch's fps system he uses in his "Raycasting EP 6 Performance" and have the camera movement multiplied by the "DELTA" variable.

[@FindingPepper]

The problem is that Scratch can't even run the project at 30 fps.

can you make reflections and shadows

[@GamerHouse2.0]

hi

[@Xman-m5f]

TIP I FOUND: If the texture is cut off (like one block shows 2 textures) Do this: • Go to the textures costume in the Scanner sprite • Switch it to bitmap • Carefully select one texture • Copy and paste the texture to a new costume • Center the image • Then look at the costume and it will show you the actual texture size. NOTE: If there are 2 different numbers when you look at the costume, you selected the texture wrong.

[@Canarddelice]

hey I can't access scratch on my computer because of a bug o I use GANDI and can't download the scanner :(

[@xoxogamewolf7585]

underrated

[@Jonathan-sp9un]

For anyone that needs it, if your blocks aren't rendering correctly (appears black) then I have the answer. When you export the file for the scanner one list has nothing in it but is very crucial for the image scanning. Which is the ghost values list. Griffpatch's video explains what values to put but basically you need to manually put in the values for the ghost values

[@rebeccaxing74]

I am sure that will help a lot of people! Thanks.

[@Soheil-Shah-Rabien]

bro you are going to vacation just like ceebee a scratch team

[@maxwins112]

put the texture costume top left so u have more room to add textuers

[@FindingPepper]

I want the textures to be scanned vertically because otherwise it would be difficult to differentiate the different columns. If there were multiple columns in the texture costume, the rows of pixels in the displayed textures would alternate between multiple textures and not display the full texture of any of them. If you need more textures you could add multiple texture costumes.

please help when i run my project it gets stuck on the 2nd scan pass and doesnt run the rest of the project

[@jeandang8376]

I think I might know the problem. Hang on…

[@jeandang8376]

I think I found it. 🎉 It’s probably that in the scan sprite, where you switch costume to « textures » , it is still the old one even thought you deleted it. Switch it to the updated « textures » costume. The reason for this problem is that it doesn’t have anything to scan so it goes on forever.

Using this tutorial, I've tried to make procedural generating terrain using noise, collisions, trees, gravity and breaking and placing blocks. I've tried casting a ray directly in front of the player and get the block info, but for some reason my ray is being casted from the centre to the top-right screen, instead of the centre to centre. Can you explain the mechanics of how the rays move? Anyways, thanks for this tutorial!

[@FindingPepper]

That's awesome! A ray of view x/y of 0/0 is in the center of the screen (different from most other coding languages where 0/0 is in the corner).

good video bro!

[@gastonchannel9036]

Great video, how would you go about up-ing the resolution of each block at a farther distance? Thanks!

[@FindingPepper]

You can see what happens when you set the resolution to a low number (higher quality) -- it's incredibly laggy. It's hard to make less laggy without using a different 3D method (involving triangles) which is what is generally used for 3D. I went with this method because it's simpler.

[@LionelTravenp]

Bro.can you make 3d triangle collison in scratch?i want to make 3d obj file rendeeing.

[@FindingPepper]

[@wolfcrafter2147]

How can we like make other shapes and how is it possible to make the blocks smother and not that choppy

[@rebeccaxing74]

Decrease the RES variable for better resolution.

[@champion_ofcloud-var]

hey, i have a suggestion for which texture goes on which face you could make 1 or more lists for the texture/textures on each side of the block, so for example grass could be grasstop, grass, grass, grass, grass, dirt, and for dirt it could be dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt

[@FindingPepper]

That's a pretty good idea! But I think it might be a bit more complicated than necessary especially when we don't have many blocks.

[@champion_ofcloud-var]

@@FindingPepper you will have much block

[@user-nil_cyan]

1k subs!!!! Tip: It might be very complicated, but try to make it so the raycaster doesn't render any faces that are "inside" other faces You could also have them fade out the closer they are to the edge of view

[@FindingPepper]

Yeah I was meaning to do the fade out thing but I felt the video was getting a bit long. What do you mean by "inside" other faces? If you mean going inside blocks, I don't intend for that to stay possible.

[@sillyheadtv]

@@FindingPepperthey mean that if a side of a block is behind another face (you cant see it becuase there is a different block side in front of it)

Hey pepper! I have a question: How would you add more than 18 textures to the engine?

[@FindingPepper]

Up to 24 textures can be stored in a single column. Beyond that you could add multiple columns in a single sheet (a method I've seen a few people use, you could check the tutorial's studio to see how people have done it). Or you could use the method of having multiple costumes, each with one column. Episode 4 establishes the framework for this.
