Hi there. For my university project, I'm making a space system generator. So far I've managed to get everything working but I decided to create a small spacecraft which will be used to fly around with.
To do this, I created an expression for its X movement as shown below:
I've also hooked this up to a slider which you can set the speed and hit a button to apply that speed setting as shown below (apologies for the crap GUI):
Now my issue is this, whenever I hit play and i set the speed to something and then i change it to another value, the spacecraft "jumps". Heres what I mean:
Is there a way to fix this issue? Heres my code for this:
//NAME: Saif Ahmed Munawar
//UB NUMBER: 15010505
//SUBMISSION: Final Project Submission
//Solar System Generator\\
//Spaceship Flight Script\\
//This script opens a new window which contains the controls for controlling the spacecraft\\
//I decided to make this seperate since the main GUI would get too clogged up so having a seperate GUI
//would be a more appriopiate thing to do\\
global proc throttle()
{
global float $throttle;
$throttle = `floatSliderGrp -q -v spaceship_speed`;
$throttle = $throttle*10;
print($throttle);
}
global float $throttle = 0.0;
{
string $spaceship = `window -t "Spaceship Controller" -wh 500 500`;
frameLayout -collapsable true -collapse false -label "Timeline & Misc" -bgc 0.5 0.1 0.1;
gridLayout -cellWidthHeight 400 25;
floatSliderGrp -label "THROTTLE" -field true -min 0 -max 10 -value 0 -step 1 spaceship_speed;
setParent..;
gridLayout -cellWidthHeight 584 25;
button -label "Set Speed" -command "throttle()";
showWindow $spaceship;
}
