Paths Tutorial

by David Taylor · in Torque Game Builder · 07/18/2006 (5:06 pm) · 3 replies

I've just gone through the paths tutorial, and have my first object moving around a path, which is great. What I'd like to be able to do, though, is have a junction of sorts with the nodes. Is this possible? So the object reaches a certain node, which sets off a trigger(?), and the object then decides which direction to go in.

A path is a single set circuit. No, you can't just set up paths to interconnect - but you could set up multiple paths with nodes at the same position and transfer an object via script to an alternate path whenever you want.

Hmm...that could work. How do I go about accessing the node/path in script?

Has anyone found a way to change the speed of a pathed object without reseting it to the beginning of the path? What about moving or attaching a pathed object at a specific spot? (such as a collision point)
