Hi

I'm new to scripting and baffled by what is probably quite simple.

I have two objects:

WatchThisObject

and

DoThisObject

In my script function which is started by pressing the space bar, I can only use DoThisObject which hides, or the function hangs.

I'm entering it in the function like this:

DoThisObject.Hide()
Leave a line
WatchThisObject.Hide()
Leave a line
This is followed by a for (i=0 ........) command.

What am I doing wrong please?

Thanks

Glad to see you're getting back speaking to computers.

Your description and/or details only give me a vague clue about what you're doing. As you know in programming, 'the devil is in the details' (and syntax, and flow, and...)

So I'll just throw out a bunch of ideas.

1. presumably you have syntax correct for declaring your "script function".
2. presumably the syntax is correct in the for-statement. (note the semicolons)
3. for testing purposes, I suggest putting in a brief wait state after actions. could be wait(0), or wait(2.5) etc.
Also, put in some debug commands at those same steps. e.g.,


Once you narrow down what's broken, or can see some error messages, or post your code intact --- I'm sure someone can eyeball a solution.

Cheers,
Larry

Hi Larry
I've added them to your program which you kindly sent me.
See what you make of the attached:

It's 2.01 in the UK so I'm off to bed.
Guess you're in the USA.
Catch you later.

This command will not find a matching object. Check your object names. (closely)

You left this line in, but deleted the object it references. Does not seem to be a problem yet, but I would go ahead and delete that code and the line or two above/below it (containing the MoveX comman).

Good to go now. Keep plugging... unless you're totally 'acoustic'.
