Smooth Look At and Smooth Look At Direction not Finishing

[rygaar]

Hi,

I have just started using playMaker and have hit a problem where SmoothLookAt and SmoothLookAtDirection never finish.  I have searched the forums and there are a few threads from a long time ago that mention this was a bug and would be fixed.  Its still occurring (at least for me).

So are these actions supposed to finish?  I have V1.3.2 (24788) of playMaker.  Any help greatly appreciated.

cheers
Liam

Yeah, those actions don't currently send FINISH events. I'll look into adding this...

In the meantime, you can try Get Angle To Target:

With a Float Compare to send an event when the angle is small enough.

Or use a trigger "sensor" in front of the character to send events to stop the Look At. You can get pretty creative with trigger sensors - very useful for AI transitions.

I've updated Smooth Look At to include a Finish Event:

Please give it a try and let me know if it works the way you'd expect.
