walking of avatar via patriot

[Veronika]

I have this code:

import viz

viz.go()

#set main view (x,z,y)
viz.MainView.translate(0,2,-15)
viz.clearcolor(viz.GRAY)

#Connect to Patriot sensor
polhemus = viz.add('polhemus.dle')
patriot = polhemus.addPatriot()


avatar=viz.add('male.cfg')

#Link the hand to the Patriot data
viz.link(patriot,avatar)

def updateavatar():
pos=patriot.getPosition()
ori=patriot.getEuler()
avatar.setPosition([pos[0],0,pos[0]])
avatar.setEuler([ori[0],0,0])

vizact.onupdate(0,updateavatar)

and I want to walk with avatar and if sensor is further from calibration place, the speed of walking is more. But this code for update avatar isn't function. I whole day try to set this, but I don't know how. Can you help me with this?

Try removing the line where the avatar is linked to the Patriot data. That link is overriding the update function.
