teleport users location

[joeymax]

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…

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

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

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.
