The Renderfarm

You need logic set up like in the image below on each of your markers. It is just an Always sensor, set to True level triggering; and a Near sensor. Those two are plugged in to the python controller, which will activate the message actuator. The property in the Near sensor is not needed, that i...

@David sweeeeeeeeet

thatks

GiantCowFilms

@VincentScalia Nobody has bothered

Vincent Scalia

WHY NOT!!!!

gandalf3

iKlsR did

Vincent Scalia

SLACKCERS!!!

@gandalf3 oh. cool

David

6:15 PM

@CharlesL LOL! (that really did make me laugh out loud)

stared

CharlesL

@David ;)

i feel like my artistic skills have been slipping recently because of all my ironicly bad art :P

Vincent Scalia

I feel like my artistic skill have been improving due to my alcoholism

CharlesL

lol

David

@CharlesL blender.stackexchange.com/questions/38382/…

what??

that can be done

CharlesL

@David kinda. I was fiddling with it and got the cube to generally follow the curve.

but it sometimes bounced out, so it wasn't super useful

gandalf3

6:20 PM

@David Shrinkwrap constraint anyone?

David

@gandalf3 ding ding ding

CharlesL

this is the proper way to do it: blendernation.com/2014/05/15/tutorial-car-rigging

David

we have a winner

CharlesL

@gandalf3 ohhhhh good idea, that

the one i linked to used a cloth sim

gandalf3

oh wow

CharlesL

6:21 PM

(so you could wobble it and it would spring back to position)

gandalf3

Sounds complex

CharlesL

yeah... i tried to do it, and only got it half working

i also just skimmed the video, so i'm probably missing something

David

@CharlesL although your curve idea is not bad if you already know where you want the object to go.

CharlesL

@David yeah, it's not perfect. The rigid body sim isn't really supposed to do that :P

gandalf3

@CharlesL Huh. I wonder if that's how they did this

I always wondered how that was done..

CharlesL

6:22 PM

which one, the wine or the gear setup?

David

@gandalf3 that guy is crazy good

gandalf3

@CharlesL The wobbly organic stuff at the end (and the wine)

I would imagine the gear setup is all just drivers and constraints

CharlesL

lol, and then there are my rigs, where i don't even bother to make a custom shape, and a simple arm/leg IK is a lot of extra work :P

@gandalf3 gotta be softbody sim

gandalf3

For the gears?

CharlesL

or rigid body/springs

@gandalf3 no, the organic stuff

lol

gandalf3

6:24 PM

oh XD

David

I want ot answer the question we were just talking about, but I have a perfect dup.

CharlesL

maybe some python scripting??

i don't know if you can easily do that though with rigs

David

<sigh> stacker will be happy. :)

Vincent Scalia

@David, do you think you could help me implement it?

David

@VincentScalia you mean about your question? I guess. what are you still stuck on?

Vincent Scalia

6:27 PM

yes

@David i jus can't get the monkey to respond

David

what is its physic type?

Vincent Scalia

right now i have him set to change a debug prop when he gets the message so that i know everything is working... but it's not.

@David sensor

pasteall.org/blend/37957

David

@VincentScalia that is the problem. the near sensor (and most everything else) does not look at or care about sensor objects, it will be ignored.

change it to something like dynamic.

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 That very video has tormented me since it was posted on BN

Vincent Scalia

@David no, the near is looking for a character, the marker itself is a snesor

David

6:30 PM

@VincentScalia O, ok. hold on let me look at the blend :)

GiantCowFilms

I have half I mind to email the guy (his email is there) and ask him how

CharlesL

@GiantCowFilms i know. that guy has done some pretty crazy things

David

@GiantCowFilms well when you do, please let me know

GiantCowFilms

Look, no beta on our chat!

(logo, bottom right hand)

Vincent Scalia

@GiantCowFilms ?

GiantCowFilms

6:32 PM

A: Congratulations! Blender is graduating!

status-completed Our chat still says "beta". I think the developers should be notified of this, since this design-less graduation is a new thing.

Vincent Scalia

it's still there for me

took a picture just in case it escapes in teh near future.

GiantCowFilms

reload the page

Vincent Scalia

goodbye forever, beta.

snif

we'll miss you.

waves handkerchief

CharlesL

GET OUTTA HERE

>:)

Vincent Scalia

how rude!

CharlesL

6:34 PM

the site isn't a child anymore

it shouldn't be treated like one

David

@VincentScalia @CharlesL was talking to the beta lable

CharlesL

people don't take beta's seriously!

@David i know

i do.

:P

XD

6:34 PM

i bought a pair of betas and they killed eachother

CharlesL

@VincentScalia but now everyone will respect blender-exchange!

David

@VincentScalia I'm lost in your game, what does it do?

CharlesL

@VincentScalia lol, that's the problem with them

@VincentScalia i had a beta once. was my first pet that died :'(

Vincent Scalia

@David okay, so you see the monkey in hte middle of the screen?

David

yep

Vincent Scalia

6:35 PM

click on him

now if you right click anywhere, he should look there.

David

ok

Vincent Scalia

if you put the suzanne near him, i want the property "Debug" to change to "True"

so the suzanne is the marker, and he's the character

David

you do not have any logic on the "MandrillCollision" object to receive the message and do anything.

@VincentScalia you need a message sensor on your MandrillCollision object

Vincent Scalia

in state 2 i do. that what state he's in when he faces it

oh/...

David

O, i never look at states

Vincent Scalia

6:42 PM

slaps head

@David you're right, nvm

thansk

David

@VincentScalia so you having it all working now?

Vincent Scalia

yep, thanks

David

ok good.

Vincent Scalia

now i feel even stupider than i did before

David

lol, why?

Vincent Scalia

6:54 PM

because that was stunningly obvious

@Everyone, where'd you all go?

CharlesL

Vincent Scalia

@David did you see the super awkward sculpt on layer one?

@CharlesL <BIG>HI</BIG>

CharlesL

@VincentScalia <h1><B>HELLOLOOOOO</b></h1>

Vincent Scalia

have you ever been on a cruise?

CharlesL

what, like a boat cruise?

Vincent Scalia

6:59 PM

yeah
