Joint Angle Readout
This example attaches a "readout" to the effector of a joint, which
continuously displays the angle of the joint. The readout could just as easily be writing
to a file or other device (showing that behaviors can be used as channel drivers) or
controlling another model.
- Use Actor->Skeleton->Draw 2D Chain or Actor->Skeleton->Draw
3D Chain to create a single joint in 2 or 3D.
- Use Model->Effects->behaviorEdit to
attach the angle "readout" script to the joint's effector. This script's
location is:
$SI_LOCATION/3D/custom/SoftWish/SoftWishDemos/behaviorDemo/angle.
- Select Model->Effect-> behaviorSingle
and pick the effector twice (The effector will probably be named eff1
and you will want to pick it in the schematic window). If you want to write the
angles out to a file; you can enter a filename, or browse for the desired file. If you do
not want to write the angles out to a file, click cancel.
- Now select the effector and translate it. Moving the effector causes the script attached
to the sphere to get evaluated each frame. That script will calculate and display the
joints angle.
- Now select the effector and translate (move) it.
- Moving the effector causes the attached code to be evaluated each frame. The code will
calculate and display the joint's angle. [ I don't want all these bullets or buttons but I
don't have time to figure out why they are being included on the screen now. ]
