FLOWGRAPH ELEVATOR WITH CHILD

HI ALL,

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO A COUPLE OF THREADS ON THE FORUM FROM PAT AND JAIJUN. IT'S BASED ON A FLOWGRAPH THAT VINH MADE A WHILE AGO...

HERE:


AND HERE:


IT'S A BIT OF A STRANGE ONE, AS THE COORDINATE SYSTEM BETWEEN GLOBAL, THE PARENT AND THE CHILD IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT.

WHILE I'M NOT SURE I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND IT THE FLOWGRAPH BELOW WORKS TO ACHIEVE WHAT I THINK PAT WAS AFTER.


THE BOTTOM PART RELATES TO MOVING THE PARENT ENTITY ... AND THE TOP PART SHOWS HOW I'M MOVING THE CHILD ENTITY UP AND DOWN 10 METERS. THE CURRENT POSITION OUTPUT AND LOGIC ONCE NODES WORK TOGETHER TO CAPTURE THE LOCAL COORDINATES OF THE CHILD ENTITY TO SET THE DESTINATION.

FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS BELOW ... I'M GOING TO INVITE VINH TO LEAVE A COMMENT TO SEE IF HE CAN SHED ANY LIGHT ON WHY THIS WORKS ...

CHEERS

    The getpos gives global position, and the "current" of the node "Movement:MoveEntityTo" gives local position. A bit silly I know.

    Russell's graphs work, as does Pat's method of separating graphs. For a more elegant version see videoand screen shots on my blog. This goes to show there are many ways to get the same result.
