How do you get the "OnTouch" and "OnTick" to work?
-
OnTick and OnTouch are not fully functional yet. They are not supposed to be in the RC. They will be in the SP3 experimental release.
-
oh man!
-
Well. At least we still have the beta version, which still has undiscovered ways that we can incorporate the features into models.
-
Since the cat is out of the bag here is a video of some of the OnTouch & OnTrigger features in action.

This is pretty complex. The cone always points at the yellow sphere. The blue cylinder will follow the cone around (sort of like a dog). When the purple cube is touched it will cause the cone to start emitting. If anything touches the yellow sphere it will shoot out a copy sideways.
The cool thing is there is not one joint,thruster, emitter, gyro or magnet in that scene. Just OnTouch and OnTick. Pretty nifty.

Ooh... oooooohhhhhhh! So this is the collision detection.....
-
so can you give examples that you used in the vid?
-
It doesn't work with the rc version.
-
Wait, hold on. you mean i can't get anything in the vid to work? what about everything else?
-
I mean the newest features, other than fixed joint.
-
Yes. The video is for the next version. It is called SP3x (for experimental) and will probably be out in a few days.
The reason for 2 versions is that models that use OnTouch and OnTick might not work in future releases.
I am not planning on restricting 3dwarehouse. But I want to make it clear that these models are much more likely to break in the future.
I am really happy that most 2.0 models still work in 3.0 and I want to try to keep that going.
