Hi, sorry, i’m sorta new here, but I saw that someone had made a oggoctree and I was trying to use it. My friend got it to work but we find that it only does the last object in our map. How can we get it to loop so it does all the objects in the scene? Also will this still let us call them by their name? Like “Cube 782”?
We was using the treeform scrip that was modified by lethe, 2 page.
Its purpose is to deal with level geometry only really, usually for collisions only (There are some cases where it can help with normal rendering, but the only common once are top-down/isometric viewing.), so typically you would only send it a single mesh. Saying that my todo list includes going through and fixing that issue, specifically by making you tag the geometry you want chopped up, but I haven’t the time right now, and its a long term goal anyway. It probably wouldn’t be that hard to modify the script however to get just that feature. I’ld first consider if you really need this though - you probably don’t, and doing it to a bunch of objects makes little sense as each object would still be at the root of the hierarchy. If you do need it I might be able to have a look next week, but I just don’t have the time this minute; you could always add it yourself. And no, you won’t be able to get the objects by their name - they are chopped up into many pieces.
I think a better modification would be to take all the geometry in the egg and flatten and and then occtree it and then add it to the existing geometry.
Good point treeform, and really much simpler - a one line fix as you just need to add a flatten strong into the script after loading the model. Really should of thought of that:-)
Ty for the replys. I’m not really the coder for our team, i’m just our model editor, our lead coder is a little busy with some other things. So i’m not sure where to put the “one line” code at, yes we are using it for collision, mostly the floors really, but having to load all the differnt parts would seem like a wast of space instead of just loading everything in one big scene really.
lethe, its not one line (there is no flatten strong because we are eading with egg structures) yet it can’t be that hard.
I converted that eggoctree script from using the egg interface to using geomvertexwriter/reader for my own purposes, I can post it if you want. (This would allow you to call flattenstrong and simply pass it to the script)
edit: here it is.

Yes that be most helpful, i’m just not that code savy to do such a sorta thing sadly.
put it above…
Oky I did this, but it doesnt seem to make anything… maybe I did something wrong?
import direct.directbase.DirectStart
from eggoctree import *
from direct.showbase.DirectObject import DirectObject
class Octree(DirectObject):
def __init__(self):
node = loader.loadModel("map")
node.flattenStrong()
octreefy(node)
Octree()
run()it returns the octreefyd node.
so something like
self.octreeNode = octreefy(node)
then whenever you want to test for a colision do something like this
self.visibleNode.detachNode()
self.octreeNode.reparentTo(render)
do collision checking
self.octreeNode.detachNode()
self.visibleNode.reparentTo(render)
Ty for being so helpful! Ok I got it to show now, but i’m a little lost on where you got self.visibleNode? Also when I did collision checking it didnt seem to show anything with base.cTrav.showCollisions(render)
Edit… ok my friend (our lead programer) told me that the collision tag wasnt there. He wasnt sure where to put the collision tag either…
addObjectType(‘barrier’)?
mindstormss, good work!
There is one major problem though. The geoms you create are slow at collisions. This is what you should be using video.google.com/videoplay?docid … 0926&hl=en
also it looks like you are buding octree out of every geom. It should be build one octree out of the whole thing.
oh, didn’t know about the special collision polygons, I’ll look into it!
I did this a while ago, so it may take some time for the changes to come, but they will eventually come. In the meantime I have been using this and it gave enough of a speed increase for me not to worry about it 
–but I agree that these optimizations should be made.
edit: here is the modified version. It includes all geoms into one octree and it uses collisionpolygons.
