Edit Object Actuator

The Edit Object actuator allows the user to edit settings of objects in game

See Actuator Common Options for common options.

Special Options:

Edit Object actuator

Edit Object

Menu of options for Edit Object actuator

Dynamics

Track To

Replace Mesh

End Object

Add Object

Edit Object actuator - Dynamics

Dynamics

Provides a menu of Dynamic Operations to set up dynamics options for object.

Set Mass

Enables the user to set the mass of the current object for Physics (Range 0 - 10,000).

Disable Rigid Body

Disables the Rigid Body state of the object - disables collision.

Enable Rigid Body

Enables the Rigid Body state of the object - enables collision.

Suspend Dynamics

Suspends the object dynamics (object velocity).

Restore Dynamics

Resumes the object dynamics (object velocity).

Edit Object actuator - Track to

Track to

Makes the object “look at” another object, in 2D or 3D.

Object

Object to follow.

Time

No. of frames it will take to turn towards the target object (Range 0-2000).

3D Button (toggle)

Enable 2D (X,Y) or 3D (X,Y,Z) tracking.

Up Axis menu

The axis (X,Y,Z) that points upward (Z by default).

Track Axis menu

The axis (X,Y,Z,-X,-Y,-Z) that points to the target object (Y by default).

If you choose the same axis for Up Axis and Track Axis menus, the track to actuator will not be functional anymore.

Edit Object actuator - Replace Mesh

Replace Mesh

Replace mesh with another. Both the mesh and/or its physics can be replaced, together or independently.

Mesh

name of mesh to replace the current mesh.

Gfx Button

replace visible mesh.

Phys Button

replace physics mesh (not compound shapes)

Edit Object actuator - End Object

End Object

Destroy the current object.

Edit Object actuator - Add Object

Add Object

Adds an object at the centre of the current object. The object that is added needs to be on another, hidden, layer.

Object

The name of the object that is going to be added.

Time

the time (in frames) the object stays alive before it disappears. Zero makes it stay forever.

Linear Velocity

Linear Velocity, works like in the motion actuator but on the created object instead of the object itself. Useful for shooting objects, create them with an initial speed.

Angular Velocity

Angular velocity, works like in the motion actuator but on the created object instead of the object itself.
