Making Head Visible and Invisible

[MarcoYolo]

Nope, nevermind. I ran into a problem…

How do I apply this script in the logic bricks?

[Nemescraft]

To apply it you use a Python Controller. Connect it an Always sensor or something. If you want it to run every frame don’t forget to check True Pulse [···]

@monster: there are better ways to do this yes, but that is not too costly…especially if you do this test only while the camera changes states or is being zoomed in or something…it costs next to nothing…on that note, you would probably cry if you saw all my code on a large project you sometimes cannot get away with not using these checks, and it costs far far less than a near sensor.

@JustinBarrett

untested code to attach to the head object…unless you are treating the head as a child object.

import math
if (camera.worldPosition - head.worldPosition).length < 0.1:
own.setVisible(0,1)#object.setVisible(boolean for yes or no,boolean for affect children yes or no)
else:
own.setVisible(1,1)

I apologize if you already received a good answer I am just trying to give extremely simple solutions that a beginner can grasp…the code is pretty straightforward, but I just typed it in and have not tested it…you may also just want to make sure the material for the head has backface culling enabled…this or the clipping range should automatically have it not visible…ofc this depends on scale as well…for the clipping.

As for the “camera”…

Do I replace it with the camera name or do just leave it?

[JustinBarrett]

the camera name in the script needs to be the same as the name of the in game camera…they must match. and ‘head’ is just a place holder name as well…it is the owner/controller or whatever you want to test against.

Alright, thanks…
