need help with updatecontroller

[cassius]

Hi

This code works in Bmax but not in c.The problem is the second parameter;

Knight.model is the name of the character and is a struct member.

 

UpdateController(knight.control,knight.model.rotation.y,knight.speed * 2,0, 0, 500,1,0);

The problem is the second parameter;

What's the problem?

[cassius]

The error was something about "rotation.y not being a" member;

The character is an enemy character, not the main character.

[Daimour]

Looks like BMax tail.

Try use EntityRotation(knight.model, 1) instead of knight.model.rotation.

[cassius]

Nope. That did not work. I need the character to walk toward the player. As I said the code works in Bmax, I need a way of expressing the second parameter in c .

EDIT: I am using PointEntity and thats working ok.

If you have already used PointEntity to point the knight towards the player then Daimour's suggestion should work, so the whole line becomes:

 

UpdateController(knight.control,EntityRotation(knight.model,1).Y, knight.speed * 2,0, 0, 500,1,0);

 

rotation.y is a BlitzMax property and these are not directly exposed in the C DLL

Thanks pixel. I will give it a try after I get some sleep, been pondering this for hours and its only supposed to be a hobby.

lol ... I know that feeling well

Got it working. Should have worked first time but I had syntax error with unhelpfull error message.

Ha. Yeah, I don't like Codeblock's error messages. I mostly ignore it. At least it tells you what line its on.
