Set my position to match
« on: August 10, 2015, 02:13:32 PM »
I think a trillion times I have made this with PlayMaker:

Create variables, with all that includes
Get position (fill out)
Set position (fill out)
Make sure world / local matches (which it does not by default, which then again has caused about a trillion tinybugs for me)

...

I know it's spoiled, but BOY I'd be pleased for that one action that did this trivial task:

*****
Set
[My by default]
[ ] position
[ ] rotation
to match
[Variable or reference]
[ ] every frame
*****

OMG, that'd be a time saver :D

I'll buy a beer to that person any time :D

Thanks!! :)

Since you're offering... how about a steam game that's worth the price of beer?  ;D

Oh - sebaslive: Please, let's see how many clicks we can avoid, please make

'Match position', 'World space', 'Every frame' and 'Late update' defaults.

Then it's the perfect 'Glue to something else'-tool: Just fill out what to glue to, done..!

Thanks a bunch :)

It's different, I did not include a scale option but that was a good idea to have.

Here is mine just to see the difference.

cool, thanks for sharing

I wonder what other stuff like this could be done to minimize repetitive action sequences
