Can't input OB in actuators

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

I can’t put an OB into an actuator (ex: the one i’m trying to use is Camera). I type it in, hit enter, and it disappears. I can edit the OB of an object, I just can’t specify an OB in an actuator. Help?

Are you sure you got the spelling right… including upper/lower case? I can’t think of any other reason it wouldn’t work… unless your file got corrupted somehow.

If you play it, does it still work? If just the text got invisible…

If you’re trying to include the OB: in front of the object name (as it appears in the Editbuttons) then stop doing it! You don’t need the “OB:” when you input the name of an object into the field. So when you just create a cube, its default name is “Cube”, not “OBCube”, so just type in “Cube”.

Note that it IS case sensitive too!

I do type in just “cube”, as in your example, and the file isn’t corrupted, it is the same with all files. The text isn’t invisible, either. The text just vanishes after I type it in.

I would like to insist :

And if you don’t know what case-sensitive means…

“Cube” is different than “cube”. The text will disappear if you don’t input it correctly.
