MainView.setPosition ignored when collisions are enabled
 

Hi, I am trying to set the starting position for the MainView, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. Here is a simple example:

viz.go()
viz.collision(viz.ON)
viz.phys.enable()

# add room
room = viz.add('court.ive')

# add subject
female= viz.add('vcc_female.cfg')
female.setPosition([0,0,0])
female.state(1)

#add confederate
male= viz.add('vcc_male.cfg')
male.setPosition([0,0,5.9])
male.setEuler(180, 0, 0)
male.state(1)

# set starting view location
viz.MainView.setPosition(male.getPosition())
print male.getPosition(), viz.MainView.getPosition()
viz.MainView.setEuler(male.getEuler())

I noticed that when I comment out the second line, it puts the view in the correct position (except for height). Could someone please explain this to me? Thanks!

Since you have viz.collision enabled and you trying to move the viewer to a position that would cause a collision Vizard is leaving the view in its original position. When you comment out viz.collision the view moves to the male avatar position which has height set as 0
