Sectors / Portals Engine (Simple Question) ...
Author
Hi All,
I''ve a BIG question ...
I try to think of an implementation of Sectors/Portals Engine,
but i''ve a little problem.
In this type of engine, i would like to known, how those sectors are ?! Did they are Cube ? ''Cause i don''t known, but if they dont are Cube, how can i known in witch sectors the user is ?
But, if they are Cubes ... How can i have special sectors, i mean, a irregular sector ...
That bust my head off !! :/
Thanks,
LowRad
Happy Coding ...
Complex sectors are generally convex polygons, but for speed, if you incorporate some other kind of algorithm as well, such as BSP, then you can use bounding boxes with your sectors.
It is very easy to test bounding boxes rather than convex polys.
I recommend you look up BSP''s, because they''re simple and effective to use.
P.S. You no speak English no good.

That''s right, I forgot. BSP trees were invented solely for First Person Shooters. Heck, we can rename them from BSP trees to FPS trees, because obviously this is a data structure designed solely for that one type of game.
Actually a BSP tree won''t even work until you have people shooting each other, the algorythm just fails immediately.
Fact is, you can implement a BSP tree for any 3d app, just sometimes it doesn''t make much sense.

hey LowRad, if you''re not doing a first person shooter game, I would not recomend portals. that''s the only thing their good for.

Hey, don''t insult me! I speak 4 languages.
Sorry if I offended you anyway, LowRad...
BSP is great for any kind of indoor game, be it FPS, or whatever. Just my opinion.
