Hey there,
I'm trying to change the shape, size and location of a flowitem that's already in movement, similarly to items in a conveyor, but using the SDK and C++.
tried using this setframe function and the set loc function but it simply didn't take effect.
for setFrame I used this:
setframe(item, getobjectshapeindex(otherItem));
Is there any other function I can use that will forcefully change the position and shape of a moving flowitem? Am I using setframe wrong?
That's actually the goal, I have different shaped items that move in a chain effect movement, and I wanted the first one to to switch places and shape with the last one and resume from there. But I think I get what you mean, the setLoc is probably working but being overwritten...
Shouldn't the change of shape stick anyways, though?
The setframe command needs the frame number (or name) related to that flow item's frame list- not the shapeindex number of another object - which is the global media index of the shape as show here:
You can of course set the shape directly without reference to the frames using setobjectshapeindex()
Frame example attached.
