Thanks alot again

Ok, i did try that setParent, but apparently if I set parent in editor, it does not work (setParent to none)?  (not problem for me tho )
So for more info what i tried and did:
-I had a gun where it shoots bullets, bullet had gun as parent (set on editor) so it rotates..and then i cloned bullet..but setParent did not work..
-I then just added box in the gun where the bullet start (bullet had no parent) and then cloned the bullet. (alltho now that im writing, why not just use the gun as starting point >.< .....)

oh and just quick question, ( i did went for that wiki list of functions thru, did not see any function for this) but is there a way to draw a line in lua scripts?
I would like to draw line from a to b..
Or how to do it in lua script other ways of doing it, if there is not?

Hmm in lua i think its like this:

if answer == "take"..item then 

(then it does not matter if "item" is a number too...for example item=11  so take11 is result...

How simple are you looking for?
in my game "very stupid" ai  is just randomly moving
(im still doing that ai...but im doing other stuff atm)

I done the moving like this:
i got randomNumber
if its below 7 : rotate to one direction
if its below 10 (7-10) move straight
else move and rotate same time.
if player is in vision reduce health of player (but will add more in this part, like shoot, aim etc)

well it is very stupid ai, havent done yet detection of walls, will do better when got time.

That solved the problem thanks and thanks for the updateMatrix tip too will come useful

i was looking that list of functions but somehow my eye did not catch those functions :-/ . (all tho im not suprised, i cant even see if my colleague is walking past me )

Hmm i dont know if this work (havent try it...)
but you could make a variable and in SceneUpdate for example pause=0 at start of the game, pause=1 when pause.
and just wrap "if"-statement the game logic (player move etc).
So when player goes to menu, other things goes to pause (i think this atleast work with LUA, and in C++ , well might take few more lines of codes because you write ai in c++? maybe add behaviour that just dont do anything or something)
also if you have object you have to getCentralForces ( i think, im noob in coding with LUA still...) and somehow save them and stop all forces (clearForces)

Correct me if im wrong tho
but basically i think  that you have to save current scenes forces, behaviours etc, clear them (stop them moving) when going menu,
and when coming back put all forces back... but this will be problem when multiple objects... (first objects have their forces and the other dont yet (end of the list))

Sorry dunno how to explain it better. (bad english also so )
I just making player with animation on it, and want to see where person is hit when someone is shooting. So was thinking putting some boxes around hands etc to check collision(/or rayhit), but was just thinking if i make animation (hand move, leg move) does the box also move according where its located (moving according hand) or is it moving according central point of the player.

I did experiment and the boxes are moving according the central point of the player (which makes sense...) .

Thanks for answers tho

but i think i can make different kind of solution for this anyway
Still learning LUA and what i can make with it (and Maratis), but anyways thanks
