Triggers not working
by Robert DeMaria · in Artist Corner · 04/12/2006 (9:49 am) · 8 replies
I've made a simple set of placeholder animations for my player character so that I could write the script needed to respond to the dts trigger values. The animations work, but I haven't been able to detect any of the trigger values. I've double checked my script, and I don't think I've made a mistake there. The dsq files with the triggers are larger than the dsq files without triggers, so it's exporting something. I think I may have either found a bug in the exporter or a bug in Torque 2D. I don't have show tool pro, so I can't tell you what values that reports. If someone could post a simple dts file and an associated dsq file with triggers that they know should work, I could test it and see if Torque 2D detects the trigger values.

this chart says they are supported in blender
Here is a related forum post which should show you how to write the appropriate functions to recognize the triggers

How is this progressing? I have a few tasks I can do before I really need this to work. But, fairly soon this functionality will become essential to the rest of my work.

Basically, just saving the trigger as documented is not enough. The animation code also expects your bound object to have keyframes so that a required flag (TSThread::makePath) will be set.
Hope this helps

I was having problems with the triggers not working either. I stepped through the code and could see they were being loaded but the method TSThread::animateTriggers() was never being called. I looked this up on the forums and I think I found the answer.http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=12991
