How to translate smoothly using api?
27 August 2017 09:19
How can I set a smooth translation (eg 5 seconds) using the api?
I am using transform. set_translation () but it's moving the object instantaneously.
I want to translate over a period of time.

Have a look at linear_tween().
There are many various ease functions in the Math Module
Animate() in the Time Module might interest you as well.

You attach an "elapsed" sensor to the object, then move the object by speed * elapsed with m_trans.move_local in the sensor's callback function.
Here's a code example:
There is a nice tutorial about this: Basic Manipulations in 3D Space
Here's a code example:
var m_ctl = require("control");
var m_trans = require("transform");
var m_scs = require("scenes");
// Define your movement parameters:
var name_of_my_object = "my_objects_name"; // Fill in the (Blender) name of your object.
var x_speed = 1; // Set your desired speed along X axis (0 for no movement in this axis).
var y_speed = -0.5; // Set your desired speed along Y axis (0 for no movement in this axis).
var z_speed = 0; // Set your desired speed along Z axis (0 for no movement in this axis).
// Set up sensor:
var elapsed_sensor = m_ctl.create_elapsed_sensor();
m_ctl.create_sensor_manifold(m_scs.get_object_by_name(name_of_my_object), "MOVE", m_ctl.CT_CONTINUOUS, [elapsed_sensor], null, move_cb);
// Callback function:
function move_cb (obj, id) {
var elapsed = m_ctl.get_sensor_value(obj, id, 0);
m_trans.move_local(obj, x_speed*elapsed, y_speed*elapsed, z_speed*elapsed);
}
