KX_CameraActuator: changing parameters from python script

[mbouchard]

I need to change the object to which a Camera Actuator is bounded to
from a Python script. However, KX_CameraActuator objects does not
have such attribute or method accessible from Python.

1. Is it possible to have it added to a further release of Blender?
2. Is there another way to acheive my goal?

Thanks.

you could build your own camera actuator in python

Yes... add it to the todo bug tracker, so I don't forget about it.

This is quite easy for someone wanting to get into Blender game engine coding.

I thought I would give it a try
camera patch

let me know if its up to standard

Awesome! I'll apply the patch after the 2.36 cvs is unfrozen.

Only two comments:

Code: Select all

PyObject* KX_CameraActuator::PySetXY(PyObject* self, 
										PyObject* args, 
										PyObject* kwds)
{
	bool value;
	if(!PyArg_ParseTuple(args,"i", &value))
	{
		return NULL;
	}
	value == 1 ? m_x = true : m_x = false;
	Py_Return;
}

1. Any nonzero value is valid as true, so I changed it to:

Code: Select all

PyObject* KX_CameraActuator::PySetXY(PyObject* self, 
										PyObject* args, 
										PyObject* kwds)
{
	int value;
	if(PyArg_ParseTuple(args,"i", &value))
	{
		m_x = value != 0;
		Py_Return;
	}
	return NULL;
}

2. And the python doc needs to be updated.

Okay I updated the docs
