how to get height of an entity in ursina? - python-3.x

I'm making a Brick Breaker Game using Ursina in python. I've created some entities which work as ball and bar.
bar = Entity(model='quad', color=color.blue, position=(4.5, -10, 0), scale=(3, 0.3), collider='box')
ball = Entity(model='sphere', color=color.red, position=(4.5, -9.5, 0), scale=0.25, collider='sphere')
I want the ball at the upper center of the bar without manually setting the x and y value. Like this:
For this I want the width and height of the bar. How can I get that? I tried bar.width. But it returns 'Entity' object has no attribute 'width'

Yes, it is possible. You can use bar.scale_x and bar.scale_y.
For more options you can check https://www.ursinaengine.org/api_reference and see Entity (https://www.ursinaengine.org/api_reference#Entity)

navigation tilemaps without placing walkable tiles manually

I have a tilemap in godot, but all tiles are obstacles and provide collision. Only cells without any tile are walkable. I'm now trying to add navigation via Navigation2D node. As far as I see there is no way to tell it "everything is walkable, but not where these tiles are" (all one can say is "this part of the tile is walkable", but in my current setup there is no tile at the walkable space).
As a workaround I tried to set every cell with no tile to a "dummy tile" which is fully walkable with the following code:
func _ready():
for x in size.x:
for y in size.y:
var cell = get_cell(x, y)
if cell == -1:
set_cell(x, y, WALKABLE)
But the Navigation2D node does not recognize these tiles. If I place the WALKABLE tile manually, everything works as expected.
I think I might be hitting this issue, and need to call update_dirty_quadrants() but this does not fix the problem.
I tried this with the versions 3.0.6stable, 3.1Alpha2 and a recent commit 9a8569d (provided by godotwild), and the result was always the same.
Is there anyway to get navigation with tilemaps working, without placing every tile beforehand manually?
For anyone coming across this in the future, the 'dummy navigation tile' solution works now (using Godot 3.2.3). Put this script on the tilemap in question:
extends TileMap
# Empty/invisible tile marked as completely walkable. The ID of the tile should correspond
# to the order in which it was created in the tileset editor.
export(int) var _nav_tile_id := 0
func _ready() -> void:
# Find the bounds of the tilemap (there is no 'size' property available)
var bounds_min := Vector2.ZERO
var bounds_max := Vector2.ZERO
for pos in get_used_cells():
if pos.x < bounds_min.x:
bounds_min.x = int(pos.x)
elif pos.x > bounds_max.x:
bounds_max.x = int(pos.x)
if pos.y < bounds_min.y:
bounds_min.y = int(pos.y)
elif pos.y > bounds_max.y:
bounds_max.y = int(pos.y)
# Replace all empty tiles with the provided navigation tile
for x in range(bounds_min.x, bounds_max.x):
for y in range(bounds_min.y, bounds_max.y):
if get_cell(x, y) == -1:
set_cell(x, y, _nav_tile_id)
# Force the navigation mesh to update immediately
update_dirty_quadrants()
I couldn't find the ID from my tile in the autotiler (when checking in the editor, having the tilemap selected, these all show the same imagename.png 0). So instead of using the ID, I used the coordinates of the walkable blank tile in the Tileset. The code remains the same as LukeZaz', but with set_cell replaced by:
set_cell(x, y, 0, false, false, false, Vector2(7,4)); where Vector2(7,4) is the coordinate of the blank tile in my tileset that has the navigationpolygon on it. (Remember that coördinates start at 0)

Why isn't my path2d position updating?

I created a new path2d following the instructions in the my first game article: http://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.0/getting_started/step_by_step/your_first_game.html
I wanted to move the "box" on screen so that I could see how the mobs spawn in, but when I ran the scene, it stayed off screen.
I created a new path2d, centered this one in the middle of the screen, and it works like I wanted it to, but now I moving this one in the editor doesn't update the position in game.
What's going on?
Thanks
func _on_mobtimer_timeout():
$mobtimer.wait_time = 0.1 + randf() / 2
$mobspawn/moblocation.set_offset(randi())
var mob = Mob.instance()
add_child(mob)
var direction = $mobspawn/moblocation.rotation + PI/2
mob.position = $mobspawn/moblocation.position
direction += rand_range(-PI/8, PI/8)
mob.rotation = direction
mob.set_linear_velocity(Vector2(rand_range(200, 200 + score * 30), 0).rotated(direction))
A Node2D's position property is relative to it's parent's position. The code from the Dodge The Creeps tutorial assumes that MobPath is located at 0, 0 and fails when that assumption is false.
In your case you are taking a MobSpawnLocation's position relative to MobPath and then setting it as the new Mob's global position.
Luckily Node2D's have another property that we can use in these circumstances global_position. It can be used like this:
mob.position = $mobspawn/moblocation.global_position
http://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_node2d.html#member-variables
This isn't a full solution, but I found a weird workaround. Instead of changing the position in the editor, if you use the nodes on the orange box (at the intersection of orange and blue), you can kind of alternate to move the box around.

Can't get QGraphicsEllipseItem() to display

I can't seem to get a QGraphicsEllipseItem to show up in my view. I am attempting to use it in combination with a QGraphicsLineItem:
# Instantiate the line object:
self.profileLine = QGraphicsLineItem()
self.profileLine.setPen(QPen(Qt.yellow, 1.0))
self.profileLine.setLine(self.StartX, self.StartY, self.StopX, self.StopY)
self.scene.addItem(self.profileLine)
# Instantiate the circle:
self.profileStopHandle = QGraphicsEllipseItem()
self.profileStopHandle.setPen(QPen(Qt.yellow, 1.0))
self.profileStopHandle.setRect(self.StopX, self.StopY, 50, 50)
self.scene.addItem(self.profileStopHandle)
Later, in my mouse move event, I determine the current mouse coordinates, assign them to StopX/StopY and redraw the line from the start point to the new stop point as well as draw the ellipse around the new stop point:
self.profileLine.setLine(self.StartX, self.StartY, self.StopX, self.StopY)
self.profileStopHandle.setPos(self.StopX, self.StopY)
The line shows up fine and behaves just as it should, but no matter what I cannot seem to get the ellipse to draw. I know the point coordinates I'm passing to it are correct because they are the same ones I'm using for the line. The ellipse just never appears as if it was never created in the first place. What am I doing wrong here (it must be something very basic)? Thank you in advance.
The issue was the Z-value (amateur mistake). I brought the ellipse to the foreground and now it is visible:
self.profileStopHandle.setZValue(self.sceneImage.zValue() + 1.0)

Display number in rectangle

Note that I am using Python3 and Phoenix.
I would like to display a number (double, but that does not matter now) formatted in some way (again, no matter what that way is) within a rectangle: almost a wx.StaticText but not editable by the user. This is to display some data coming from some hardware, such as a temperature.
Is there such a widget?
I tried with using the default wx.StaticText with a style but I must have done something wrong:
hbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
title = wx.StaticText(parent, label=label)
title.SetLabelMarkup("<b>{}</b>".format(label))
hbox.Add(title, border=5)
value = wx.StaticText(parent, label="3.141592", style=wx.BORDER_RAISED)
value.SetWindowStyle(wx.BORDER_SIMPLE)
hbox.Add(value, border=5)
title = wx.StaticText(parent, label="\u2103")
hbox.Add(title, border=5)
Shows this on Linux (Fedora 24, GTK):
Wouldn't using a wx.TextCtrl set to read only do the job?
Temp = wx.TextCtrl(panel1, value="3.141592", style=wx.TE_READONLY)
Temp.SetBackgroundColour('green')
The simplest solution is to just use wxStaticText with a border style (e.g. wxBORDER_SIMPLE, ...). If you don't like the appearance this results in, it's pretty simple to make your own widget drawing whatever border you desire: just create a window, define its wxEVT_PAINT handler and draw the (presumably centered) text in it and a border outside of it.

AndroidPlot - Labels and text

I am a non-developer product manager for an application built in both Android and iOS. We have a bar graph in iOS that provides text for the content of the graph. It displays Totals for each bar, and percentages for each segment of each bar.
In Android, using AndroidPlot (so I understand) we just display the bars with different color segments and no percent totals or totals. I am told by the developer that we can't show more.
I would display the images here, but stackoverflow tells me I don't have enough reputation points to do this. I have created a link to my dropbox with the images https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2uocm5bn79rerbe/AAB7s9QEEYIRIgXhKbUAaOyDa
Is it possible to use AndroidPlot to emulate this iOS chart or at least represent to same information to the end user?
Your developer is more or less correct but you have options. Androidplot's BarRenderer by default provides only an optional label at the top of each bar, which in your iOS images is occupied by the "available", "new", "used" and "rent" label. That label appears to be unused in your Android screenshot so one option would be to utilize those labels do display your totals.
As far as exactly matching the iOS implementation with Androidplot, the missing piece is the ability to add additional labels horizontally and vertically along the side of each bar. You can extend BarRenderer to do this by overriding it's onRender(...) method. Here's a link for your developer that shows where in the code he'll want to modify onRender(...).
I'd suggest these modifications to add the vertical labels:
Invoke Canvas.save(Canvas.ALL_SAVE_FLAG) to store the default orientation of the Canvas.
Use Canvas.translate(leftX, bottom) to center on the bottom left point of the bar
Rotate the Canvas 90 degrees using Canvas.rotate(90) to enable vertical text drawing
Draw whatever text is needed along the side of the plot; 0,0 now corresponds to the bottom left corner of the bar so start there when invoking canvas.drawText(x,y).
Invoke Canvas.restore() to restore the canvas' original orientation.
After implementing the above, adding horizontal "%" labels should be self evident but if you run into trouble feel free to ask more questions along the way.
UPDATE:
Here's a very basic implementation of the above. First the drawVerticalText method:
/**
*
* #param canvas
* #param paint paint used to draw the text
* #param text the text to be drawn
* #param x x-coord of where the text should be drawn
* #param y y-coord of where the text should be drawn
*/
protected void drawVerticalText(Canvas canvas, Paint paint, String text, float x, float y) {
// record the state of the canvas before the draw:
canvas.save(Canvas.ALL_SAVE_FLAG);
// center the canvas on our drawing coords:
canvas.translate(x, y);
// rotate into the desired "vertical" orientation:
canvas.rotate(-90);
// draw the text; note that we are drawing at 0, 0 and *not* x, y.
canvas.drawText(text, 0, 0, paint);
// restore the canvas state:
canvas.restore();
}
All that's left is to invoke this method where necessary. In your case it should be done once per BarGroup and should maintain a consistent position on the y axis. I added the following code to the STACKED case in BarRenderer.onRender(...), immediately above the break:
// needed some paint to draw with so I'll just create it here for now:
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
paint.setTextSize(PixelUtils.spToPix(20));
drawVerticalText(
canvas,
paint,
"test",
barGroup.leftX,
basePositionY - PixelUtils.dpToPix(50)); // offset so the text doesnt intersect with the origin
Here's a screenshot of the result...sorry it's so huge:
Personally, I don't care for the fixed y-position of these vertical labels and would prefer them to float along the upper part of the bars. To accomplish this I modify my invocation of drawVerticalText(...) to look like this:
// needed some paint to draw with so I'll just create it here for now:
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
paint.setTextSize(PixelUtils.spToPix(20));
// right-justify the text so it doesnt extend beyond the top of the bar
paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.RIGHT);
drawVerticalText(
canvas,
paint,
"test",
barGroup.leftX,
bottom);
Which produces this result:
