MoveTo script headache.

TLDR;When using the move to function the object is moved to the right marker but with the wrong rotation (the rotation remains the same as the one in the starting point)

 

 

 

Hi,I'm having a bit of trouble with the MoveTo function not doing what it's supposed to do in my script.

 

Game.FadeOutGame(false, true, 4.0, 3.0)
CurrentPos.Disable()
MBFuelCOuntGlobal.SetValue(MBCurrentFuel-MBRequiredFuel)
MBCoolantCOuntGlobal.SetValue(MBCurrentCoolant-MBRequiredCoolant)
GameHour.SetValue(MBHour+((Distance/7140000)*30))
MBDriveSound.Play(Game.GetPlayer())
DestPos.Enable()
MBDoor.MoveTo(mDestPos, abMatchRotation = true)
MBDoorMarker.MoveTo(mDestPos,70.0 * Math.Sin(mDestPos.GetAngleZ()), 70.0 * Math.Cos(mDestPos.GetAngleZ()), - 80.0,abMatchRotation = true)
CurrentPos=DestPos
The last section of this script is supposed to move a door and an xmarker around the world (the destination is always an xmarkerHeading).The moveTo function works ok for the MBDoorMarker property (the xmarker is moved to the destination with a slight translation and faces the right way.
The MBDoor property however gets moved to the right spot but retains it's original rotation (it does not allign with the xmarkerheading rotation).
Why is the rotation change working for the moved xmarker but not for the moved door?

Firstly MoveTo is latent, and nothing else is going to happen until the move is finished. There is possibly a queue issue going on there between the two moves.

 

You can try adding "Utility.wait(0.2)" after the first move.

Thank I'll try that.What boggles me is that move object should match the markerheading rotation by default,I mean,that worked in my other mod.

 

ElseIf aiButton == 1
DriveSound.Play(Game.GetPlayer())
Game.FastTravel(mabf)
Car.MoveTo(abf)
VanFuelUnit.RemoveItem(FuelUnit, 1, True)
Doing this moved a static car to the xmarkerheading (near abernathy farm in this case).It did the same for other 32 location and the car would always be in the correct orientation.

I am thinking the "pointer" of the XmarkerHeading isn't used as a point of reference for rotation at all.

Recent versions of this mod of mine http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15994/? use the moveto function and xmarkerheading to do what it does.It worked fine for that mod.

The sole purpose of xmarker headings is to be directional.The pointer is just a visual rappresentation.They are just static items after all.They don't do anything special.

I use them just to be cohesive with the rest of the game.

If I use moveto on a reference and point it to a marker rotated say (0,90,0) according to the wiki by default the reference moved to it should match that 3d orientation.But for some reason these references get moved but not rotated.I'll have to check the whole script again for some dumb mistake i guess.Here it is just for funsies.(NOT completed)

Try using a different syntax:

 

MBDoor.MoveTo(mDestPos,0,0,0,true)

 

Otherwise, have you tried using MoveToNode, I can confirm that matching rotation works for this. It could save you from having to use all those messy markers as well.

I already tried the full syntax (destination x,y,z offset,abmatchrotation=)id does not work

I'll look into the movetonode,I could really use getting rid of 30+ properties.

 

EDIT-If someone is wondering why I don't use moveTo for the vehicle itself the answer is that MoveTo does not work on static collections.

If push come to shove, take a somewhat longer/complicated route(well you seem to know your way around math so might be easier) can use http://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=SetAngle_-_ObjectReference to turn the thing around yourself.

Now that I think about it I should be able to do something like objecttorotate.setangle(TargetRef.GetangleX(),TargetRef.GetangleY(),TargetRef.GetAngleZ())

I just need to check if that syntax is a thing or not.
