Member of: ObjectReference Script

Makes the object translate to the passed in position and orientation at the given speed using a spline.

SyntaxEdit

Function SplineTranslateTo(float afX, float afY, float afZ, float afAngleX, float afAngleY, float afAngleZ, float afTangentMagnitude, \
  float afSpeed, float afMaxRotationSpeed = 0.0) native

ParametersEdit

  • afX: Position along the X axis.
  • afY: Position along the Y axis.
  • afZ: Position along the Z axis.
  • afAngleX: Destination X Angle.
  • afAngleY: Destination Y Angle (rarely used).
  • afAngleZ: Destination Z Angle.
  • afTangentMagnitude: Magnitude of the spline tangents
  • afSpeed: Movement Speed.
  • afMaxRotationSpeed: The maximum rotation speed (Default is 0 to mean "don't clamp rotation speed")
    • Default: 0

Return ValueEdit

None.

ExamplesEdit

; Translate the bird ref to 0,0,0 with an angle of 90,90,90 with a low spline magnitude and speed
Bird.SplineTranslateTo(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 90.0, 90.0, 90.0, 1.0, 1.0)


; Translate the bird ref to 0,0,0 with an angle of 90,90,90 with a low spline magnitude and speed, and low rotation speed
Bird.SplineTranslateTo(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 90.0, 90.0, 90.0, 1.0, 1.0, 10)

TipsEdit

A movement speed parameter (afSpeed) of 1 is extremely slow - nearly imperceptible to the human eye. Starting at a an afSpeed of 100 and working up or down towards the desired speed is recommended.

NoteEdit

This is known to have issues. If you set afMaxRotationSpeed to anything higher than 0, it will not translate the rotation correctly. Other than *TranslateTo - ObjectReference, it will force the objects position at the destination point, when the translation ends. This may cause a sudden position change of objects.
