I am still relatively new to Vizard and had a question on arrays. I have created (with some help from farshizzo) an array that holds 5 avatars.

Code:

#Create six avatars

for i in range(NUM_AVATARS):

        

        newX = -math.cos(-2*i+15) * 2

        newZ = math.sin(i^2+1) * 2        

        male = viz.add('male.cfg')

        male.translate(newX,0,newZ)

        male.rotate(180,0,0)

        avatars.append(male) #Save avatar in list

#        walkAvatar(_avatars)

walk = male.walkto(0,0,-10.5,1,0,2)

I was able to make each of these avatars walk in a separate way, but now I want to make them "die" once I click on them. I have a shoot bullet animation so it looks like they are getting shot, but in actuality they are just being clicked on. The suggestion made by Farshizzo on the avatar animations thread worked for a stationary avatar but once they start moving using the following code, they get up even after I "shoot" them. Any suggestions?:

Code:

def mytimer(num):

        

        if num == ANIMATION:

                

                #Calculate elapsed time since last update

                elapsed = viz.elapsed()

                

                #Update each active ball

                for bullet in bullets:

                        if bullet.active:

                                #Move the ball and check if it has collided with any objects

                                MoveBullet(bullet,elapsed)

                

                #Update the crosshair position

                crosshair.translate(viz.mousepos()+[0])

                

        elif num == START_AVATAR:

                global nextAvatar

                #Get the next available duck and start it

                avatar = avatars[nextAvatar]

                walkAvatar(avatar)

                nextAvatar = (nextAvatar + 1) % NUM_AVATARS

                viz.starttimer(START_AVATAR,TIME_BETWEEN_AVATARS)



##Start a timer which starts the next available avatar

viz.starttimer(START_AVATAR,0.01)

Thanks
