I'm trying to have a different scene come online when a Object is triggered on. It's flame animation linked to the pitch speed, when it's above 90, the Flame animation triggers on and then clears it's self. Right now I can't get the scene to trigger on when it happens. This is the code I have currently:

dim fire as xpBaseObject
dim animates as xpAnimController
dim scene as xpSceneDirector
dim takeitem as xpTakeItem


scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("Fire Animation", animates)
self.GetObjectByName("Fire Home", fire)
self.GetOnline(5, 21)

if fire.visible then
engine.sequencer.GetTakeitemByID(5, takeitem)
takeitem.Execute

end if

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, Thank you for all help!

Is this in a tessera situation? Are you firing an LED ribbon or something like that? A quick fix would be to already have that scene on line and just trigger the scene director to animate it.

This is on our Tessera. We're firing it on our main board where out pitching stats box is. We tried that at first and then had a problem with it looping since our pitch speed doesn't clear itself for 15 seconds. Would it be simpler to just have the coding to hide that object at the end of its animation instead?

If it's consistently up for 15 seconds then yeah that's a simple fix. I've always been a fan of "keep it simple".So, if it was an element in your Stats box, couldn't you trigger a scene director that makes it fire? Don't let me lead you in a direction you don't want to go.

You could pull this off using visual logic too. But I support trying scripting first just to get comfortable with it. Plus visual logic fires every frame, using script fires once. I take it you have your script on "onSetText"

If you worked it on the text object that displays the speed then it would PROBABLY only fire when that text field changed. And if that text field was over 90, then it would trigger your animation.

Its a different scene, but I suggested just moving the flames animation to the scene that is already on line and triggering a scene director for it.

This is my first time programing anything like this, I'm pretty unfamiliar with triggering scene directors. It is up for 15 seconds consistently, the simpler the better for me right now!

If it's consistently up for 15 seconds then yeah that's a simple fix. I've always been a fan of "keep it simple".So, if it was an element in your Stats box, couldn't you trigger a scene director that makes it fire? Don't let me lead you in a direction you don't want to go.

This is on our Tessera. We're firing it on our main board where out pitching stats box is. We tried that at first and then had a problem with it looping since our pitch speed doesn't clear itself for 15 seconds. Would it be simpler to just have the coding to hide that object at the end of its animation instead?

Is this in a tessera situation? Are you firing an LED ribbon or something like that? A quick fix would be to already have that scene on line and just trigger the scene director to animate it.

I'm trying to have a different scene come online when a Object is triggered on. It's flame animation linked to the pitch speed, when it's above 90, the Flame animation triggers on and then clears it's self. Right now I can't get the scene to trigger on when it happens. This is the code I have currently:

dim fire as xpBaseObject
dim animates as xpAnimController
dim scene as xpSceneDirector
dim takeitem as xpTakeItem


scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("Fire Animation", animates)
self.GetObjectByName("Fire Home", fire)
self.GetOnline(5, 21)

if fire.visible then
engine.sequencer.GetTakeitemByID(5, takeitem)
takeitem.Execute

end if

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, Thank you for all help!

I would do it as a seperate scene if you plan on playing the fire over many different scenes but if its always over the same scene I'd put into one. It'll make the scripting much easier or means you can use VL instead if you're more comfortable with that.

You could pull this off using visual logic too. But I support trying scripting first just to get comfortable with it. Plus visual logic fires every frame, using script fires once. I take it you have your script on "onSetText"

We tried that at first and then had a problem with it looping since our pitch speed doesn't clear itself for 15 seconds. Would it be simpler to just have the coding to hide that object at the end of its animation instead?

Is this in a tessera situation? Are you firing an LED ribbon or something like that? A quick fix would be to already have that scene on line and just trigger the scene director to animate it.

Subject: Triggering a different scene with Script

I'm trying to have a different scene come online when a Object is triggered on. It's flame animation linked to the pitch speed, when it's above 90, the Flame animation triggers on and then clears it's self. Right now I can't get the scene to trigger on when it happens. This is the code I have currently:

dim fire as xpBaseObject
dim animates as xpAnimController
dim scene as xpSceneDirector
dim takeitem as xpTakeItem


scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("Fire Animation", animates)
self.GetObjectByName("Fire Home", fire)
self.GetOnline(5, 21)

if fire.visible then
engine.sequencer.GetTakeitemByID(5, takeitem)
takeitem.Execute

end if

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, Thank you for all help!

Thanks Red, I’ll add it to my tool kit.

It's also a good habit to add;

sd.AutoStop = true

after play or playrange. 

The SDK says :

Per default an Animation controller sets its PlayState to ps_Paused so it will retain ownership of the objects it is controlling. When AutoStop is set to True the animation controller will change its PlayState to ps_Stopped instead of ps_Paused when the end of the timeline has been reached."

The reason I do it and why it can be useful is if you have scripts the rely on knowing if other scene directors states are.

I sent her this script to play with.

dim sd as xpSceneDirector

if text > 89 then
scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("fire", sd)
sd.PlayRange(0,100)

end if

You could probably just have something like this.

It's only on the one scene, should I script it on the Speed text object or on the scene since I have the visual logic to trigger it on when the text is above 90 and when our pitcher is up?

I would do it as a seperate scene if you plan on playing the fire over many different scenes but if its always over the same scene I'd put into one. It'll make the scripting much easier or means you can use VL instead if you're more comfortable with that.

I was trying it both ways, I wasn't sure which way was better.

Are you trying to trigger a different scene or an animation in same scene?

If you worked it on the text object that displays the speed then it would PROBABLY only fire when that text field changed. And if that text field was over 90, then it would trigger your animation.

I have Visual Logic triggering the flames on since we only wanted it linked to our pitchers stats, and I was trying to script it on the scene "Object" in the manager if that makes sense, on "OnOnline".

You could pull this off using visual logic too. But I support trying scripting first just to get comfortable with it. Plus visual logic fires every frame, using script fires once. I take it you have your script on "onSetText"

This is my first time programing anything like this, I'm pretty unfamiliar with triggering scene directors. It is up for 15 seconds consistently, the simpler the better for me right now!

If it's consistently up for 15 seconds then yeah that's a simple fix. I've always been a fan of "keep it simple".So, if it was an element in your Stats box, couldn't you trigger a scene director that makes it fire? Don't let me lead you in a direction you don't want to go.

This is on our Tessera. We're firing it on our main board where out pitching stats box is. We tried that at first and then had a problem with it looping since our pitch speed doesn't clear itself for 15 seconds. Would it be simpler to just have the coding to hide that object at the end of its animation instead?
