Problem in adding behavior on StaticSprite (script)

by ken · in iTorque 2D · 02/22/2012 (1:20 am) · 7 replies

Hi,

I'm trying to add StaticSprites to the Scene with a behavior, but the Behavior does not work! However this behavior works fine when I add it to an object in Game Builder (without scripting)...

here is the script code :
function createMyObj(%imageMap,%position)
{
    %object = new t2dStaticSprite() {
        imageMap = %imageMap;
        frame = "0";
        mUseSourceRect = "0";
        sourceRect = "0 0 0 0";
        canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
        PlatformTarget = "UNIVERSAL";
        Position = %position;
        CollisionMaxIterations = "3";
        AlphaTestValue = "-1";
        mountID = "5";
        _behavior0 = "myBehavior";
    };

    //adding to scene
    sceneWindow2D.getSceneGraph().addToScene(%object);

    return %object;
}

Also I tried this script code: 

function createMyObj(%imageMap,%position)
{
    %object = new t2dStaticSprite() {
        imageMap = %imageMap;
        frame = "0";
        mUseSourceRect = "0";
        sourceRect = "0 0 0 0";
        canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
        PlatformTarget = "UNIVERSAL";
        Position = %position;
        CollisionMaxIterations = "3";
        AlphaTestValue = "-1";
        mountID = "5";
    };

    //adding behavior
    %object.addBehavior(myBehavior.createInstance());

    //adding to scene
    sceneWindow2D.getSceneGraph().addToScene(%object);

    return %object;
}

what is my mistake?

thanks guys!

Are you getting any warnings or errors in the console when you run this code?

No Michael!
there is no error here.

In addition, I defined datablocks by the script...
take a look at this :
function getWallImages(%StageNumber)
{
    %wallsDirectory = expandFilename("data/images/Stage" @ %StageNumber @ "/Walls");
    %Walls = %wallsDirectory @ "/*.png";

    %i=1;
    for (%file = findFirstFile(%Walls); %file !$= ""; %file = findNextFile(%Walls)) {
        $wallimageMaps[%i] = "wallImageMap" @ %i;
        %file = getSubStr(%file,0,strlen(%file)-4);
        %datablock = setDataBlock(%file, $wallimageMaps[%i]);
        $levelDatablocks.add(%datablock);
        %i++;
    }
}


function setDataBlock(%path,%name)
{    
    %db = new t2dImageMapDatablock(%name) {
        imageName = %path;
        imageMode = "FULL";
        useHDImage = "0";
        frameCount = "-1";
        filterMode = "NONE";
        filterPad = "0";
        preferPerf = "1";
        cellRowOrder = "1";
        cellOffsetX = "0";
        cellOffsetY = "0";
        cellStrideX = "0";
        cellStrideY = "0";
        cellCountX = "-1";
        cellCountY = "-1";
        cellWidth = "0";
        cellHeight = "0";
        preload = "1";
        allowUnload = "0";
        compressPVR = "0";
        optimised = "0";
        force16bit = "0";
    };
    return %db;
}

Testing "createMyObj" :
getWallImages(1);
    $test[1] = createMyObj($wallimageMaps[1],"0 0");

Also I did observe script execution priorities and it works fine with no error... (but still with behavior problem)

Sorry, it's tough to parse logic at 6am. I'll test the code at the office in a few hours.

Have you tried adding the behavior via function calls instead of _behavior0 ?

As I mentioned in first post, I did use object.addBehavior(myBehavior.createInstance());

Hey Michael, this thread is going to freez...
