Opening Doors Thread [MOD]

This looks like a possibility with the Pickup-able Items Tutorial:

http://www.multiversemmo.com/site/w/index.php/Creating_Pickup-able_Objects

and modifying some code..

Opening Doors Thread [MOD] 5ur2qa

I have managed to insert a NameValue data of instancePortal to have a hover 'Right Click to Open Door' label on it (sort of a hack) and the tutorial code above to make it an interactive world object. Now the final and tricky part of it is to have it run an open animation instead of giving me a Potion Item. Smile

Something brewing here... study

I would build an effect to open the door and depending on whether you want everyone to see the door opening or just the person click on it run it from the server or client respectively

The effect code would be something along the lines of this:

Code:: import ClientAPI
import Animation
from Axiom.MathLib import *
from System.Math import PI

class DoorOpeningEffect:

def __init__(self, oid):
self.OID = oid

def CancelEffect(self):
pass

def UpdateEffect(self):
pass

def ExecuteEffect(self, doorOID):
ClientAPI.Log("DoorOpeningEffect")
door = ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(doorOID)
if door is None:
   ClientAPI.Log("Could not find door")
   return
try:
   animationOpen = CreateOpenAnimation(door)
   #animationList.append(animationt)
   animationOpen.Play(1,False)
   #ClientAPI.Write("Click on another poster to see if they match")
   yield 1200
   animationOpen.Dispose()

except:
   ClientAPI.Log("Error in DoorOpeningEffect")

def CreateOpenAnimation(obj):
"""This is a utility method that produce a one second animation on the
given object to rotate it."""
animation = Animation.Animation("opendoor"+str(obj.OID), .5)
animation_nodetrack = animation.CreateNodeTrack(obj.SceneNode)
animation_nodetrack_kf0 = animation_nodetrack.CreateKeyFrame(0)
animation_nodetrack_kf0.Translate = obj.Position
animation_nodetrack_kf0.Orientation = obj.Orientation
animation_nodetrack_kf1 = animation_nodetrack.CreateKeyFrame(.5)
animation_nodetrack_kf1.Translate = obj.Position
animation_nodetrack_kf1.Orientation = Quaternion.FromAngleAxis(.5 * PI, Vector3.UnitY) * obj.Orientation
return animation

# register the effect
ClientAPI.World.RegisterEffect("DoorOpeningEffect", DoorOpeningEffect)

Add the python file you save it as to startup.py
Then you can call it by on the client with

Code:: ClientAPI.World.InvokeEffect( "DoorOpeningEffect", ClientAPI.GetLocalOID(),
{'doorOID':worldObj.OID} )

You could easity put it in MarsCursor as the handler for the property just remember you also have to register the object as being targetable

You might consider making a default property that you add to object if you want them to be targetable

Hey, thanks for sharing Delurin. cheers

This will help a lot, I will try this tomorrow.

Question: I would like every player to see the opening action for a realistic feel. Is this already set for the code above?

You would need to trigger it with a / command or with an extension message (more difficult to setup I would start with / command and later switch to messages)
Basically you would implement the / command just like the loot command in the tutorial but have it go to something like this:

Code:: doorOID== cmdEvent.getTarget()
doormsg = AnimationClient.InvokeEffectMessage(playerOid, "DoorOpeningEffect")
doormsg .setProperty("doorOID", str(doorOID))
Engine.getAgent().sendBroadcast(doormsg)

And you would need to change the door = ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(long(doorOID)) so that it converts the string oid to a long. You may be able to set the property in the extension_proxy as a long but I think I had a problem with jython screwing up the cast so I cast it to a string on the server and back on the client.

Thanks, I will try that one too.

Be back with the results on this..

did you have any luck with the server side code rotello?

Not yet. I will keep you posted.

@Delurin

I was thinking of having something like this with your code on Bindings.xml

Code:: <Binding name="OPENDOOR" header="ACTIONS">
ClientAPI.World.InvokeEffect( "DoorOpeningEffect", ClientAPI.GetLocalOID(),
{'doorOID':worldObj.OID} )
</Binding>

Then add the letter 'M' for example as key handler to the Bindings.txt

M OPENDOOR

I have placed the effects code under /Scripts named DoorOpeningEffect.py

Code:: import ClientAPI
import Animation
from Axiom.MathLib import *
from System.Math import PI

class DoorOpeningEffect:

def __init__(self, oid):
self.OID = oid

def CancelEffect(self):
pass

def UpdateEffect(self):
pass

def ExecuteEffect(self, doorOID):
ClientAPI.Log("DoorOpeningEffect")
#door = ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(doorOID)
door = ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(long(doorOID))
if door is None:
ClientAPI.Log("Could not find door")
ClientAPI.Write("Could not find door")
return
try:
animationOpen = CreateOpenAnimation(door)
#animationList.append(animationt)
animationOpen.Play(1,False)
#ClientAPI.Write("Click on another poster to see if they match")
yield 1200
animationOpen.Dispose()

except:
ClientAPI.Log("Error in DoorOpeningEffect")

def CreateOpenAnimation(obj):
"""This is a utility method that produce a one second animation on the
given object to rotate it."""
animation = Animation.Animation("opendoor"+str(obj.OID), .5)
animation_nodetrack = animation.CreateNodeTrack(obj.SceneNode)
animation_nodetrack_kf0 = animation_nodetrack.CreateKeyFrame(0)
animation_nodetrack_kf0.Translate = obj.Position
animation_nodetrack_kf0.Orientation = obj.Orientation
animation_nodetrack_kf1 = animation_nodetrack.CreateKeyFrame(.5)
animation_nodetrack_kf1.Translate = obj.Position
animation_nodetrack_kf1.Orientation = Quaternion.FromAngleAxis(.5 * PI, Vector3.UnitY) * obj.Orientation
return animation

# register the effect
ClientAPI.World.RegisterEffect("DoorOpeningEffect", DoorOpeningEffect)

I added a chat info to debug the script
The only problem I'm getting is a worldObj undefined log error or something when I pressed the action key

Okay, I forgot to add the import DoorOpeningEffect in Startup.py

Now it's reading the code and I'm getting indentation errors, we'll see..

Here's the actual error log I'm getting:

Code:: ERROR [2013-03-28 13:10:23,966] Exception Unable to run key binding event handler: System.MissingMemberException: 'instance' object has no attribute 'doorOID'
