I'd like to be able to vary the forces (the Torque specifically) that a certain motion actuator creates in real time, but I'm having some problems.

My script is basically this:

Code:

from GameLogic import * cont = getCurrentController() ow = cont.getOwner senslist = cont.getSensors() actlist = cont.getActuators mousesensor = senslist[0] force = actlist[0] torqx = 10 torqy = 10 torqz = 0 torql = 2 force.setTorque(torqx,torqy,torqz,torql) print"!"

It's going to get a bit more complicated, but for now I just need to actually control the torque..so..what I don't understand is that I don't get any errors, and the script prints the exclamation mark just fine. It's probably something pretty dumb. I'm pretty experienced with blender, but I'm a total newbie when it comes to python and scripting in general. So if somebody could give me a hand and tell me what I'm doing wrong, or even just show me a better way of setting Torque forces (or indeed any forces - the script doesn't work for any of them) I'd be grateful.

Hi,

Might want to post these types of questions at elysiun.com, more for using blender rather than development of blender discussed here.

After you set the torques, just add a call to the GameLogic method

Code:

addActiveActuator(force, 1)

This may not be the right syntax or even exact method name, but you get the hint. The function adds this actuator to the list of actuators to be "evaluated" this frame cycle.

Awsome, thanks a lot! .. and sorry about posting in the wrong place.
