Re: [Virtools] "getPlace" missing/ "keep at constant distance"- attenuationproblem

Hi Katja!

1. Maybe you put a timedelay on the reactivation of 30. For this check 
the time untill the camera reaches the character. This should be the 
time delay. During this time the behavior should go on working in the 
background I think.

2. Use the behavior: Enhanced Character Keep On Floor

With the following parameter outputs you are able to check the floor:

Floor: object that has been chosen as the nearest floor.
Floor Type: type of the floor chosen, for example grass, ice, tarmac 
etc. The type of floor is represented by a whole number defined by the 
user in the attributes setup.

Hope this helps,

viele Grüße aus Bremen,

Matthias
