T2dPath help

by Wil Klentzeris · in Torque Game Builder · 09/14/2006 (9:32 pm) · 2 replies

I am trying to implement t2dPath and am having some problems.

here is an example of what I am doing:


function player::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
%this.schedule(3000, "newPath");
}

function player::newPath(%this)
{
%newPath = new t2dPath();

%newPath.addNode("0 0", 0);
%newPath.addNode("-25 0", 1);
%newPath.addNode("-50 0", 2);
%newPath.addNode("-75 0", 3);

%newPath.setPathType("LINEAR");

%newPath.attachObject(%this, 5, 1, 0, 3, "WRAP", 3, false);
%newPath.setMoveForward(%this, true);
}

The sprite moves to the first node and then stops.

Any suggestions?

There is one strange thing: you path isn't set into scenegraph.

Igor,

Thanks. Can't believe I missed that.

The documentation seemed easier to follow before with the minor examples.

Here is the updated script that now works:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function player::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
%this.schedule(3000, "newPath");
}

function player::newPath(%this)
{
%newPath = new t2dPath() { scenegraph = %this.scenegraph; };

%newPath.addNode("0 0", 0);
%newPath.addNode("-25 0", 1);
%newPath.addNode("-50 0", 2);
%newPath.addNode("-75 0", 3);

%newPath.setPathType("LINEAR");

%newPath.attachObject(%this, 5, 1, 0, 3, "WRAP", 3, false);
}
