Pythong Script not Running

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion
#1

Sorry if this isn’t the correct place to put this Post, but I’m having the most horrible time just trying to get a basic Python Script to run. It’s not really a problem compiling, more as it seem that BGE isn’t detecting the script at all, I’m following a tutorial online so sorry if the answer is Obvious and I’m a complete newby. I’ll up load a .blend file I’d really appreciate an explanation thanks guys!
Code Below

import bge

def main():

cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
player = cont.owner
keyboard = bge.logic.keyboard

if  bge.logic.KX_INPUT_ACTIVE == keyboard.events[bge.events.UPARROWKEY]:
    #Move Forward
    player.applyMovement((0, .01, 0), True)

main()

Thanks man! that works!

No problem, it’s the really simple stuff that can be the most frustrating,

#6

your going to want to use forces or linear motions or something though, as setLoc does not use physics

player.applyMovement((0, .01, 0), True)

you should edit a motion actuator in real time instead,
or just use logic,

Do you already have a walk cycle?
3rd person or 1st person?
game style?

Well right now I’m just trying to learn how to code in Python, before i tackle on walk cycles and animations (I do have some laying around but i don’t feel like trying to implement them into the game engine at the moment.) But I am having another problem with my Script Right now I’ve gotten the arrow to move and shoot a ball, It works but now I’m trying to make a destructible cube that turns red as its health decreases. Only it won’t work and I’ve COPIED and DISSECTED and tried everything, I’ll post the code below and a blend could really really use the help.

def main():

cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
obst = cont.owner
keyboard = bge.logic.keyboard
scene = bge.logic.getCurrentScene()

if 'hp' not in obst:
    start(obst)
#####

obst.color = (1, obst['hp'], obst['hp'], 1)
if obst['hp'] <= 0:
    die(obst)

def start(obst):
obst[‘hp’] = 0.25

def die(obst):
obst.endObject()

main()

in logic would be much easier in this case, as you need to use a collision sensor anyway,
“enemy”
property health = 100
Collision Property “bullet”----------------------------------------------------------------------------and----------------property Health Add -10
property sensor interval if health="-60 through 0" (in case multiple hits in one frame) -and------------------Edit End object

in bullet,
Collision with enemy---------------------------and--------------------edit end object
___________________________________---------------------edit add object “impact” 2 frame
