This article needs checking. |
Reason(s): This had stuff put by someone else that said it stops elements but its called stopobject so I wrote it for objects and see also is defined as object category. Not sure? --Ransom 20:54, 11 April 2007 (CDT) |
This will allow you to stop an object that is currently moving.
Syntax
bool stopObject ( object theobject )
Required Arguments
- theobject: This is the object whose movement you wish to stop
Returns
Returns true if successful, false otherwise.
Example
This will allow you to toggle the random movement of a staircase object model and stop it immediately with the stopObject command.
addCommandHandler ( "toggleobjectmove", "objectMoveControl" )
function objectMoveControl ( player, commandName, state )
--On "toggleobjectmove" in console, activate this command, which
--also asks the player to define the value for the varible 'state'.
if state == "on" then
outputChatBox ( "Moving object randomly" )
mytimer = setTimer ( "randomObjectMovement", 2250, 0 )
--if player types "on" for the state varible, turn on the timer,
--which triggers the function randomObjectMovement that makes
--the object move in random directions. The timer runs every 2 1/4
--seconds for 0 times, which means it runs infintely.
elseif state == "off" then
outputChatBox ( "Stopping object movement" )
killTimer ( mytimer )
stopObject ( myobject )
--If player typed "off" for state, stop the object movement
--immediately and kill the random object movement timer, which
--triggers the randomObjectMovement function (not included in
--this example but know it infintely moves the object in random
--directions).
else
outputChatBox ( "must define object state as 'on' or 'off'" )
--If player said something besides "on" or "off" for state, do nothing
end
end
