The “boolean” puzzle is still WIP, so hopefully some of these issues will be fixed before the final Verge3D 4.5 release. Thanks for testing it out!
Oh, that would be awesome! I’ll be drowning you guys in prayers, positive vibes, magic Rollo dust and anything else that will help you to pull it off!
Update – the ‘fix’ was only partly successful; when I apply XZ drag to a child with a 90 or 270 rotated parent I only get Z movement, whereas X by itself allows X.
At this point it looks like I’ll have to go to plan B and just load pre-rotated objects and leave the rotations out of the mix, unless I’m missing something else; I can always revert if there’s a fix for that second part.
@kdv – yep, I do have them set as children to objects that serve as offset reference points for morphs applied to A, and the latter are all set to 0 rotation. So in a manner of speaking the parent becomes the child’s ‘world’?
If that’s the cause then something did indeed change with Puzzles. In either case, sounds like the fix will be to set corresponding rotations to the parent objects at app start and change the code for positioning them.
Hopefully, my next reply will be of the good news variety. Thanks for the tip!
‘Cliff Notes’ version of the below: Timer puzzle code can be used as a loop with a ‘kill switch’!
Finally making some progress here – I found this bit about Timer puzzles and it seems to provide the behavior I require; kill the timer and I also kill any processes it’s driving! Leaving here in case someone has the same issue.
[Edit: Yes, this did the trick! I just use the timer as my loop! Definitely is working for me, at least at this stage of my project. Thanks again!
]Thanks for the tip!
I’m feeling a bit foolish now because I went back over my code more thoroughly and found the problem:
I’d set up a function within a loop to assign new names to the reloaded objects, but I was then adding the new names to the same list!
I solved the problem by assigning those names to a second list which I could then copy back into the first after finishing up the renaming. Everything is working perfectly now! For any relative newb like me, let this post be a helpful lesson – proofread, proofread, proofread!
