Re: [Virtools] 'position on curve' acting unexpectedly



I think there was orientation and banking problems in the "position on curve" building block, as you describe it, and I know those problems are solved in the beta version of the new version.
... well it's not very helpful, but I encounter the same problem ... so you did nothing bad :)

Subject: [Virtools] 'position on curve' acting unexpectedly

hi, 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.
 
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?
 
Thanks.
 
Padraig
