Hi

I'm trying to get a model to move using event_impact. right now I'm taking baby steps but eventually there will be several c_move commands to move the 2nd model once the 1st makes contact with it.

Problem: Currently the event_impact is triggered as soon as the level is loaded.
Confusion: The models are 100+ quants away from each other and now the 1st model passes right through the second.

The models in WED are set to non-passable.


Here is the code for the player:

Code:

---

  
 action b_ball_Player_move
{
 	var temporaryValue =0;
	while(me)
        {	//animate walk image sequence	
           ent_animate(my,walk_animate,walk_percent,anm_cycle ); 	
           walk_percent += 2* time;
	// move forward	
           c_move(my,vector(3,0,0), nullvector, glide);    	
	//Call function to allow camera view to follow the player around	   move_view_3rd_2();	   
	// if left mouse button pressed turn left
	if(mouse_left == 1)
     	{   
 	temporaryValue.pan = 3;// pan or turn left, if it were -=1             he would turn right	
         c_rotate (my, temporaryValue, glide);					

         //move in new direction
	c_move(my,vector(0,0,0), nullvector, glide);    	    

	//clear mouse button setting		  
 	mouse_left =0;
    	} 
 	wait(1);
	}
} 
     here is the event_impact code:  

function Ball_patrol_path()
{ 
    if(event_type == event_impact)
    {
	beep();
    }
}
action Trigger_ball_path
{
    my.enable_impact = on; //enable impact detection   
    my.event = Ball_patrol_path; //when event occurs call shoot_ball()}

---

Like I said currently the I'm taking baby steps so I'm using the beep() function to indicate that impact was made.The result of this code is No beep heard meaning no even_impact occured Any help would be greatThanks for your timeTBone

version of SED is 1.2.8a and of WED- 6.31.4
commercial version

I stepped through the code eliminating lines and then replacing them.
I don't see what is allowing the two models to pass through each other.

Question: Do I have to declare an entity in SED to be associated with the models in WED? example
entity Ball
{
type=<ball.mdl>;// the ball model
}
same for the player....

let me know
thanks

Problem resolved.

for some reason after scaling up the hero.mdl model in WED the colision is only registered if the ball.mdl colides with his lower half (waist to feet) and not his upper half

any thoughts?

Thanks

You should always have your model's position centered in MED. If it isn't centered, strange things with collision can occur. Using c_move might fix it, with polygon-precise collision enabled.

You could have it set up so that it doesn't move when colided you could use a vec_dist and have it set up so that if your pan and the cubes pan are less than 45, and greater than 325 and if your about 25 quants away then the cube will move away... and if your not close enouigh then it will stop... thus you would have to continue faollowing it, making it look like your pushing.... that is what I would do... that is much easier than using event impact... I think.
