[Tote] SetObjectPosition and ships

Unread postby Jonas » 08 Feb 2009, 04:12

Is there any trick to move a ship with script? If I use SetObjectPosition with a ship the game crashes to desktop everytime the function is triggered.

Yes, if you move empty ship, the game crashes. I've found the solution for case in which you need the ship as an interactive object, not as a mean of transportation :)

I simply created a new object that was a floating chest in nature, but looked like a ship (changed model). Then SetObjectEnabled and OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER did all the rest.

If you do need a ship as a ship, you can still make that trick. Just remember that when you teleport a hero on water (SetObjectPosition...), he is automatically placed in the ship.

I've tried using SetObjectPosition to put a hero in a ship but it just moves the hero so it is standing on top of the water. It is not in a ship and cannot move. What is wrong?

No, you just teleport hero on water, he will get a boat automatically.

That is what I did. I teleported a hero onto an empty water space using SetObjectPosition and the hero just appears standing on the water.

Strange. Worked for me.
