Waypoint
make these and then tell any object to move to them using the appropriate properties
Waypoint object - just create these using the Add menu.
Using the PropertyEditor, change the Name of say 3 waypoints to be "A", "B:,"C" etc. Set Position and Rotation of those waypoints as appropriate.
CurrentWaypointName - text - destination waypoint of an object
MovingToWaypoint - checkbox - enables object movement
NextWaypointNames - text
PauseHereForSeconds - number
There are options for time to reach the targeted position TimeToTranslate and time to reach target rotation TimeToRotate - these control how fast the go to that waypoint and how fast it will turn to the target orientation.
SmoothRotation - checkbox
SmoothVelocity - checkbox
TimeIntoWaypointMove - number (not sure if this is relevant on a waypoint object, or if it is for the object being moved?)
TimeToTranslate - number
TimeToRotate - number
The NextWaypointNames property controls which waypoint the object will go to after it reaches the current waypoint. You can easily make a loop by specifying the next waypoint as being the starting waypoint etc.
Moving objects using waypoints
PropertyEditor for a cube object
On all objects there is a MovingToWaypoint checkbox and a CurrentWaypointName field. Set those appropriately and it will move. They can also be controlled by wiring.
On the object you want to move towards a waypoint, set the CurrentWaypointName to the name of a waypoiint, for example "A". As soon as you check the MovingToWaypoint checkbox, the object will start moving towards the waypoint.
TimeIntoWaypointMove - number Does something...
