Subject: [Virtools] 'position on curve' acting unexpectedlyhi, I have another question or two if you don't mind :-)
I have an object following a path, I'm using the 'position on curve'
behaviour block. I have the 'follow' parameter checked and 1,0,0
as the follow axis (which should be forward for the object), but it
seems as if it's using the Y-axis to follow the path, as the top of
the object (and the green axis) points in the direction of the curve.
Can anyone give me a suggestion as to what the problem might
be? I have tried all axes and I get the right direction on one (0,-1,0),
but this rotates the object 90 degrees anti-clockwise.
[Callele, David] Are you sure that the local coordinate system of the object is as you expect? Either the model was built using -Y as the facing direction or a Set Orientation BB (or equivalent) has been applied somewhere.A second question. Most of my links have a delay of zero.
Is there a way to set the default link delay to be zero instead
of one?
[Callele, David] If I remember right, check under Preferences/Schematic for this value.
Thanks.
