Title: [SOLVED]Float changed with tolerance
Post by: Krillan87 on June 12, 2019, 09:03:13 AM

Hi,

I have a situation where I need to preform an action when the rotation (a float) is changed on a gameobject. However, he object is never fully still, and is moving and rotating veeery slightly all the time due to the physics engine. I would like the use the "float changed" but the action triggers even if the float just moves 0.00001 units.

Is is possible to add a tolerance value to the float changed-action similar to the on in "Float compare"?

/Christian

Hi.
Can you try the attachment below?

Let me know if it works correct so i can add this to the Ecosytem or ask Alex if i can update the original.

Sorry for late reply but it works like a charm, thank you very much!

I have just another random question that maybe your experience and insight could help. So I use this action to check if a box is rotating, and if it is rotating, an event will go off and do stuff to the box (let's say I want to active a particle system ONLY when it is rotating). Now I need a good way to check if the box is NOT rotating anymore (or is done rotating) because then I should stop the particle system.

I often find myself in situations where I want to know if an gameobject is NOT moving or is NOT rotating or is NOT doing something, but I don't really have a good way of doing this.

any input?

Hi.
Probably by using 'Get Angular Velocity' (Ecosystem (https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181))
and a Vector 3 compare

Ah good idea but I forgot to tell you that the game is in 2d, and the Get Anugular Velocity only works in 3D. Maybe there is an easy way to convert the action into a 2d-action?

Hi,

 Kurt, can you you put that action on the ecosystem, thanks :)

 Bye,
