I wrote the script to use for multiple types of items. I also coded a behavior panel able to customize settings. In the behaviour panel, you can check to make the item spin before you pick it up, you can set a health variable, and you can tweak the x,y,z & pan,tilt,roll of the item.

Pros: The items correctly move with players vertex position and angles.
Cons: The items become passable upon picking up, so they can penetrate walls.

Demo and Script

There is a read me and screenshot about the behaviour panel in the folder. Just include objects.wdl in your script and start carrying stuff around.

Credits are always cool, hope this helps you out.

Very nice code and demo, thanks for your contribution.
BTW, what the X/Y/Z offset and P/T/R offset does? how
to get those value?

Thanks again.

Glad you like it.

You can get to the offsets by right clicking on your object in wed and choosing Behaviour. You will see a menu come up where you can tweak the values to position the x,y,z or pan, tilt, roll. This allows you to adjust your object to your player specifically where you want it.

I really like it. Thank you very much.

Seems for a great bit of code, thanks a lot bud.

thnx , looks awesome.

i am having a problem with this script. the item i attached the script to does nothing on the level, doesnt attach or anything and is not passable. i used the properties to change the attach vertex. what do i do?

The key thing is you must have your character that is picking up the object as the "player" entity, meaning that your player code must have:

player = me;

The carryItem action in the script you attach to your objects to be picked up by the player depends on this to update its position.

So make sure you character player code has the player=me; in its action, and then assign the carryItem action to the object you want to be picked up by your player, rebuild entities and your good to go.

Also in the demo folder there is a screenshot of the behavior panel so you know what it looks like before you call it up in wed.

Let me know if you have anymore problems.
