positioning added objects

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

I was just wondering, is there a way to make an object that’s added in the game engine move to a specific location? Any help is appreciated.

This script will be attached to a Python controller with an actuator sensor. That sensor will have the name of your add actuator in it.

All you have to do is paste this into the Text Editor, then reference it, by name, into the Python controller.

The object with the controller needs to have 3 properties.

  • x (float) = The new X location of the added object
  • y (float) = The new Y location of the added object
  • z (float) = The new Z location of the added object

That way, you can easily edit the added’s position.

Here is the script:


import GameLogic

cont = GameLogic.getCurrentController()
own = cont.owner

sens = cont.sensors[0]
act = own.actuators[sens.actuator]

obj = act.objectLastCreated
obj.worldPosition = [own['x'],own['y'],own['z']]

Hope it helps,
