Query about making an event occur

by Daniel Novatnak · in Torque Game Builder · 01/22/2008 (11:28 am) · 1 replies

Right now in my code the user can click a stove and the avatar moves to a spot in front of the stove.

At this point I want the avatar to do an animation when it arrives, and update some values. I know how to animate and manipulate its values, but not a clue as to how to trigger it.

I thought that giving the avatar a field called destPosition (which is the desired position) and when destPosition == avatar's position then I would trigger the event and have the avatar move to the next position that's stored in an a queue. However, I don't know where to actually place this code, nor if it will actually work.

Any ideas? Please be very thorough.

Check out the onPositionTarget callback, and the setPositionTarget and MoveTo methods of T2DSceneObject.
