Adds new functions to the default ShiVa APIs
Version : 5.0
Price : $30
State : Out

Changelog

v5.0

  • Now compatible with ShiVa 2.0.
  • Plugin API compiled for Mac and Linux in addition to Windows : it will provide API completion in the Script module in ShiVa Editor for each of these operating systems.
  • Now uses a user token instead of an email to activate

v4.0

New functions:

  • nMin = math.min ( nValue0, nValue1, nValue2, ... )
  • nMax = math.max ( nValue0, nValue1, nValue2, ... )
  • nIndex = table.findFirst ( tTable, vValue, nOptStartIndex )
  • hud.setComponentScreenSpaceSize ( hComponent, nSizeX, nSizeY, bUseScreenWidthIfComponentInvariant )
  • nSizeX, nSizeY = hud.getComponentScreenSpaceSize ( hComponent )
  • nRatio = user.getViewportRatio ( hUser ) Fixed a conflict with JPAnimation 4.4 Fixed a bug with hud.setComponentContainer with bKeepGlobalTransform set to true and component with independant aspect ratio

v3.8

  • Fixed a bug with table.implode

v3.7

Added the following functions:

  • x, y = hud.getComponentScreenSpaceBottomCenter ( hComponent )
  • x, y = hud.getComponentScreenSpaceLeftCenter ( hComponent )

  • hud.setComponentStrechableBackground now takes 4 additional and optional parameters: nOptSpriteUVX, nOptSpriteUVY, nOptSpriteUVSX, nOptSpriteUVSY. If you want to use a strechable sprite, you can define its location in the texture using these parameters.
  • New function: object.lookAtObject ( hObject, hOtherObject, nOptFactor, nOptOffsetY )

v3.5

New functions:

  • sTag = object.getTag ( hObject )

Description

JPExtendedAPI is a very nice pack. Its particularity is that it does not create a new API, but it improves the existing ones by adding new functions very useful when creating your game.

A good example is the ability to know at any time if a key is pressed or not. This feature seems elementary, but is not present in the API offered by ShiVa, and therefore it was necessary to track by yourself the events for each of the keys you were interested in and store its state using a boolean variable, which is very boring... Now, thanks to JPExtendedAPI you have the input.isKeyboardKeyDown ( kKeyCode ) function that can be called from anywhere in the code, without having to manage the keyboard events by yourself.

Below some features offered by JPExtendedAPI:

hashtable.push ( htHashtable, sKey, vValue ) hud.setContainerRotation ( hComponent, nRotation ) hud.sizeComponentToFitText ( hComponent ) sRes = table.implode ( tStringsToImplode, sDelimiter ) table.sort ( tTable, bOptSortStringNumbersLikeNumbers )

These functions represent a small part of what JPExtendedAPI offers, to know all of them, go to API page by following the link below.
