Multidimensional Arrays

[farshizzo]

Hi,

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking here. You just need a way to identify each avatar when they get shot? Just add some tag to each avatar when you create/restore it.

male.tag = 'avatar 1 with object 2'

Then when they get shot just look up the tag:

print info.object.tag,'got shot'

PERFECT! Thanks for the help. Can I do the same thing with the object they are holding? Since the object is a different array that's merely linked to this one, how do I identify the object in hand? Basically if it's a gun or a cell phone I just need to specify that it's "non-threatening". If it's a gun then i have to specify that it's "threatening".

Thanks again!

Hi,

In python, you can add as many attributes to an object as you wish. So to determine if an object is "threatening" simply give it an attribute which says so.

donut = viz.add('donut.wrl')
donut.isThreatening = False
donut.isDelicious = True

gun = viz.add('gun.wrl')
gun.isThreatening = True
gun.isDelicious = False

Ok, I understand that part, but my problem is how do I let the program know that the avatar is holding that object. In the MoveBullet function shown above, I identify the avatar "attribute" as info.object.tag, but how do I do that with the object they are holding. Can I do something like info.object.tag.linkbone to identify each object of each avatar?

for x in range(0,3):
 if x == 0:
  male = viz.add(people[0]) 
  male.scale(.1,.1,.1)
  link = viz.add(viz.GROUP) 
  myphone = link.add(objects[0])
  myphone.scale(.0005,.0005,.0005)
  male.linkbone(link,'skel_HandR')
  male.tag = 0
  myphone.threatening = TRUE
  
 elif x == 1:
  male = viz.add(people[1])
  link = viz.add(viz.GROUP) 
  myphone = link.add(objects[1])
  myphone.scale(.0005,.0005,.0005)
  myphone.translate(0,-.25,.17)
  myphone.rotate(180)
  male.linkbone(link,'skel_Neck')
  male.tag = 1
  myphone.threatening = FALSE
 elif x ==2:
  male = viz.add(people[2])
  link = viz.add(viz.GROUP) 
  myphone = link.add(objects[2])
  myphone.scale(.0008,.0008,.0008)
  myphone.rotate(66.51,151.49,86.01)
  myphone.translate(-0.02,0.04,0.02)
  male.linkbone(link,'skel_HandRF')
  male.tag = 2
  myphone.threatening = FALSE
 male.translate(3*x,-10,10)
 male.rotate(180)
 #Add the avatar to the waiting and lemming list
 waitlist.append(male)
 characters.append(male)

Hi,

As I already mentioned, you can add any attribute to an object. So just add an attribute to each avatar which contains a list of the objects it is holding.

male.holding = [gun,phone,bowlingBall]
.
.
.

print 'Avatar is holding',info.object.holding
