AlcScript and Python for dummies?

[Tinuviel]

Thanks again, D'Lanor. There you can see how litle I know. The prp file is now in my blender scr folder.

I did not help, so I did the clickable thing again. My region has the actor, convex hull and property, type region. My button is an actor and is also a convex hull polytype. I have aslo tried to add the physical and pinned: true to my alcscript. Still not making it clickable. If I remove the alcscript from the animation quickscript, and follow roberts tutorial and add the py-file, I can make it clickable.

Can you post the export logfile? (as zipped attachment)

[Tinuviel]

Yes, I can do that but I do not know where I can get the export logfile....

[Lontahv]

It should be with the age file you exported--named: <agename>.age.log.

EDIT: Also, remember to make your click-region (the thing that you have to enter to get a hotspot) a collider--static-triangle should be good.

I made it!!! I did a fresh install of my blender and python, and now it works. Exept for door nr 2. that keeps opening every 4 seconds. But thats because I have not programed it yet. I will try to see if I can make it on my own. But if I know my self: I'll be back:-)

Right now you are reading the lines of a very proud person! I managed to make both of my doors open at one click. (not exactly the way I want it, but still: I made it )
But during this prosess I noticed a few things:
1. When I added my empty, the clickregion and my button, they made their own IPO-curves. So when I exported I got errors. ZeroDivisionerror. Do anyone know why IPO-curves make them selvs? I guess it is my own fault, but I do not know what I might have done.

2. The dooropening is wide, but after I have opened the doors and want to go out, it seems like the colliders of the doors block some of the opening.

3. When I press my doorbutton, my avatar keep walking on the spot for a few seconds befor pressing the button. Is there anyway to avoid that?

No idea. It never happened to me.

2. The dooropening is wide, but after I have opened the doors and want to go out, it seems like the colliders of the doors block some of the opening.

If you are using separate colliders you have to parent them to the doors. The easy way to avoid collider offsets is to give the doors themselves collision. If you already did that make sure the bounds are set to convex hull polytope or static triangle mesh (which of those 2 works best depends on the object shape).

3. When I press my doorbutton, my avatar keep walking on the spot for a few seconds befor pressing the button. Is there anyway to avoid that?

Not really but strategic placement of clickregion and animation target should help. And you can also force the avatar to have the right orientation by using the facing condition. Yes, that facevalue option works with the stateanimation quickscript as well.

Wow D'lanor. I am so amazed of how fast you keep replying me. Thanks!
With your help I have managed to make my avatar stop walking and just click. One more problem solved.
But I still keep having the invisibole collider. I have checked it out a bit more. And it seems like the collider follow the path of one door. Both when the door is open and closed so I can't get close to it. On the seconed door I have no problems. As far as I can see the doors are the same. And both are convex hull polytype. I'm not sure what is best.

[Lontahv]

Try "Static Triangle Mesh" sometimes the convex hulls can act odd (like if your thing is a bit concave ).

[Tinuviel]

This time changing to static triangle mesh did not help.

I also found out that the IPO-curves come when I test animate an object in blender. Every object that comes in contact with my animated object gets the same IPO-curve. The odd thing is that it do not happen every time.
