Dynamic 3d objects, animation and behaviour.

[Thomas Pottie]

Hello everybody,

I'm making a game as part of my final work for school.
It's a 3D game so I chose to use Shockwave 3D.

I'm using a scene I imported from Lightwave.
Now I want to dynamically add some spheres who will need to have their own
behaviour.
Right now, I have a script in my cast which I call upon in the main code, to
create (the actual geomitry) and position the spheres. (OOP way of working)
The dynamic sphere's load into the 3D world on the right positions, so
that's no problem.

The thing that is puzzeling me is: How do I make them move? (they'll need
collision detecion later on aswell)
On the main code I can use "on exitframe" to change the position of my main
character-model, that doesn't work on the dynamically added script.

Since the code (the behaviour script from the cast) for the Sphere's is
dynamicly added, it should have it's own "on" trigger. (i think)
I'm still searching for solutions on the net, but I've been searching for
quite a while now.
I hope my explanation makes sense, I you'd need more info, I'd be happy to
elaborate.
Whatever help I can get is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Thomas

you can use parentscripts, going this way you can add things to the "on
stepframe" handler.
this will only work if you add the script to the "actorlist". if you do not
need it anymore you have to delete it from "the actorlist". all scripts that
are in this "actorlist" will have the "stepframe" handler executed. if they are
not in this list, its not executed.

by the way i would not put all animations on the exitframe handler, because it
will run a little more smooth when you only "go the frame" on "exitframe"

on exitframe me
go the frame
end

on enterframe me
doallanimations
end

cheers!
