teleport users location

Hi there,

Is there a way to teleport your location to a different part of your scene at the touch of a button:

For example…

Code:

theview = viz.get(viz.MAIN_VIEWPOINT)

theview.translate(0,5,0)



POSITION = 0



def mytimer(num):

        global POSITION

        if POSITION == 1:        

                theview.translate(1,0,1)



        if viz.iskeydown('e'):

                POSITION = 1

..now I know this code doesn’t really work, but hopefully you can see what ive tried to do.

Any help would be much appreciated :rolleyes:

What you have should work. If you have collision enabled, then you will need to temporarily disable collisions when teleporting the viewpoint.

Code:

viz.collision(0)

viz.MainView.translate(1,0,1)

viz.collision(1)

If you have linked a sensor to the viewpoint, then you will need to apply an offset to the link, instead of translating the viewpoint.
