Title: itween move to
Post by: qholmes on September 07, 2011, 01:01:53 AM

I have a child object that is the parent of some others... I am trying to use iTween Move To to slide it out when i click on another object... When i move it in the editor it needs to move by x -.05   but that does not work and when i fill out the coordinates it moves to a crazy place.. If i use iTween Move By then i have to put in  Z -1.25 to get it to move to the proper position.. the scale factor is 1/25.4 so the math works out... but why does it take into consideration the Scale factor at all? And why the wrong axis?

I just confirmed it with two basic cubes.. If i scale the two cubes differently and one is a child of the other then the iTween Move To does not work at all....

I dont get this? Why does iTween break down here?

Can i reset the xform or something for these objects?

So Move To Transform works... but Move Towards works the same as iTween..

Am i crazy?

So after messing with it.. it is totally obvious that the Self Space does not work... It only references World Space so as a child you loose your reference location to the parent object...

I assume that is a bug.............. i leave for holidays in 10 hours....... ajigfhaopiahgoiqgnfo

Ok so i dug into the Action and read up on iTween Hash Tables.. because i have sooooo much time on my hands.. NOT.

Anyway..  ;D

The Hash table in the Action Move To uses "SPACE" as a Property But there is no Space Property that i can find.. At least not in this version.. It uses "islocal" Sooo if i modify the iTween code to build this Hash Table Property it works.. So i assume all the iTween Actions need to be updated.

I just upgraded by 1.1 project to 1.2 and all my iTween MoveTo actions are not functioning properly.  Is this a possible culprit?
