[Tote] SetObjectPosition and ships

[Jonas]

Is there any trick to move a ship with script? If I use SetObjectPosition with a ship the game crashes to desktop everytime the function is triggered.

[Franzy]

Yes, if you move empty ship, the game crashes. I've found the solution for case in which you need the ship as an interactive object, not as a mean of transportation

I simply created a new object that was a floating chest in nature, but looked like a ship (changed model). Then SetObjectEnabled and OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER did all the rest.

If you do need a ship as a ship, you can still make that trick. Just remember that when you teleport a hero on water (SetObjectPosition...), he is automatically placed in the ship.

Thanks Franzy! I'll try it

I've tried using SetObjectPosition to put a hero in a ship but it just moves the hero so it is standing on top of the water. It is not in a ship and cannot move. What is wrong?

[Franzy]

No, you just teleport hero on water, he will get a boat automatically.

[mweil86]

That is what I did. I teleported a hero onto an empty water space using SetObjectPosition and the hero just appears standing on the water.

[Franzy]

Strange. Worked for me.
