Edit Object Actuator
See also
See the Python reference of this logic brick in SCA_AddObjectActuator, SCA_DynamicActuator, SCA_EndObjectActuator and SCA_ReplaceMeshActuator.
The Edit Object Actuator allows the user to edit settings of objects in-game. In example edits the object’s mesh, adds objects, or destroys them. It can also change the mesh of an object.
Edit Object Actuator
Properties
- Edit Object
How the object is modified, each is described below.
Dynamics
Provides a menu of Dynamic Operations to set up dynamics options for object.
Edit Object: Dynamics
- Set Mass
Enables the user to set the mass of the current object for Physics.
- Disable Rigid Body
Disables the Rigid Body state of the object, it then behaves like a Dynamic object (no rotation).
- Enable Rigid Body
Enables the Rigid Body state of the object (enables rotation).
- Suspend Dynamics
Suspends the object dynamics (object velocity).
- Restore Dynamics
Resumes the object dynamics (object velocity).
- Suspend Physics
Suspends the object physics (disables object velocity and collision).
- Restore Physics
Resumes the object physics (enables object velocity and collision).
Track To
Makes the object “look at” another object, in 2D or 3D. The Y axis is considered the front of the object.
Edit Object: Track To
- Object
Object to follow.
- Time
Number of frames it will take to turn towards the target object.
- 3D Button (toggle).
Enable 2D (X, Y) or 3D (X, Y, Z) tracking.
- Up Axis
Selects the axis that should point up.
- Track Axis
Selects the axis that should point to the target object.
Replace Mesh
Replace mesh with another. Both the mesh and/or its physics can be replaced, together or independently.
Edit Object: Replace Mesh
- Mesh
Name of mesh to replace the current mesh.
- Gfx Button
Replace visible mesh.
- Phys Button
Replace physics mesh (not compound shapes).
End Object
Destroy the current object (note, debug properties will display error Zombie Object in console).
Edit Object: End Object
Add Object
Adds an object at the center of the current object. The object that is added needs to be on another, hidden, layer.
Edit Object: Add Object
- Object
The name of the object that is going to be added.
- Time
The time (in frames) the object stays alive before it disappears. Zero makes it stay forever.
- Linear Velocity
Linear Velocity, works like in the motion actuator but on the created object instead of the object itself. Useful for shooting objects, create them with an initial speed.
- Angular Velocity
Angular velocity, works like in the motion actuator but on the created object instead of the object itself.
