Hello!
In my model, I would like to create a moving information table connected to operators. (To show their current task over them)
Unfortunately, my solution doesn't really work.
1. I can't add any text message to "All around Billboard",
2. I moved a text into the billboard plane:
but it can't rotate together with the owner object:
Have you any idea to solve this problem?
Thanks, Viktor
Hi Viktor,
It would be much easier if you put Slide object into the operator instead of plane + text.
You can see this solution in attached model.
@Dawid Dabal Thanks for your answer! You respond me as fast as usual. It's good, easy and simple! :)
Attached is an example model (rotate-towards-viewpoint.fsm) that shows how you can rotate an object towards the camera viewpoint by using the following code in its Custom Draw trigger:
current.rotation = [90+viewpointrx(view).value, 0, viewpointrz(view).value];
@phil.bobo Thank you for your idea, especially for creating some attachment! I like your solution, I will keep it in my mind!
Update: I sent back your model, pls take a look on it. You moved the text into the operator, so FlexSim had the idea the OP is LOADED, so if the operator move in the simulation, it will use the "WalkLoaded" animation to walk.
You can move the Text out of the operator and set its location and its rotation:
Object operator = model().find("Operator1");
current.rotation = [90+viewpointrx(view).value, 0, viewpointrz(view).value];
current.location = operator.location;
current.location.z += 3;
@Viktor TT Have you tried using the ondraw of the operator and use commands like draw3Dtext and all the gl.. commands to create what you want?
@steven.hamoen Many thanks for your idea. To be honest, I've never used this drawing commands before, but I will take a look on them!
