Hi all,

I wanna implement shooting at objects and actors in the 3D demo.

For an example, in the door script I added:

Code: [Select]

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "Shoot"
{
  //The next line doesn't behave like I expect it to do
  actor.TurnTo(this);   

  actor.TalkAsync("I don't have the keys. So take this...");
  actor.PlaySound("sounds\shoot.wav");
}
What I thought was, no matter where my 3DActor stands it will turn towards the door. But it doesn't.
It turns away from the door. What do I not understand here, or is it a bug?

Cheers
Michael

Yes, it's a bug. You can try downloading the latest WME build here: http://dead-code.org/download/wme_latest.zip
It should be better now, although not perfect, because there can still occur some imprecisions when converting between the 2D and 3D coordinates, depending on the geometry layout.

Thanks for the fast reply. I will try that. And here is a small reply:

actor3D.TurnToActor3D(actor3D);

What would help big time.

Cheers
Michael

Ok, works like a charm so far. Thank you very much. Now I would need that
TurnToActor3D functionality.

I hope that wouldn't be to much to ask for.
