[1.1.0 Beta 1] SpawnSphere::spawnObject
by Phillip O'Shea · in Torque 3D Professional · 03/07/2010 (3:05 pm) · 5 replies
The object created isn't spawned at the location of the SpawnSphere, it is always at (0,0,0).
Suggested Fix:
Suggested Fix:
SimObject* SpawnSphere::spawnObject(String additionalProps)
{
...
// Scene Object?
SceneObject *sceneObject = dynamic_cast<SceneObject*>( spawnObject );
if ( sceneObject )
{
// Set Position.
sceneObject->setPosition( getPosition() );
}
return spawnObject;
}

When you have a SpawnSphere and all spawnObject, you might expect the newly created object would be positioned at the location of the sphere itself. It isn't, it is created at (0,0,0). The above code just repositions the newly created object at the position of the sphere.

That link was to get SpawnSpheres created in the Editor. This is a fix for the console method SpawnSphere::spawnObject.When you have a SpawnSphere and all spawnObject, you might expect the newly created object would be positioned at the location of the sphere itself. It isn't, it is created at (0,0,0). The above code just repositions the newly created object at the position of the sphere.

Chris, this is an engine modification and needs to be placed in T3D/missionMarker.cpp.
