faizan i have no idea..as i said above i had some problems as well  (rad denied to apply forces and joints to the helper rigids, so i replaced them with exactly the same rbody(!!!!!!) and worked perfect..)...if you want i can  sent another project

hi kampaoua... is not necessary to use one script for each action... you can certainly use only one script for the whole level if you want... and better if you reserve the initializing section for some code that must be executed only when the game starts... to check states in runtime, you can use some 'if' statements and 'booleans' variables.. and play with 'true' and 'false'...

I think there is a manual gearbox resource somewhere in the forum...

so there is a question:

 currently i am redesigning the walk cycle, and this is a short description:

when the player presses UP, a script(LegSelector) will check(through EoCs) which leg has contact to the ground, then which is ahead or rear the robot(EoLocs) and then will start: 1) the walk cycle starting with the correct leg, and 2) a script that doesn't allow a leg to rise if the other if not in contact with tha floor..

the starter script , needs to run only once, just to decide for the correct leg to start with...is this where i should use  iInitializin?????

it's hard to say without analyzing the project... but if the script will run only once, there is no need to use any iInitializing() function... here's a basic scripting tutorial:

http://www.3drad.com/files/AngleScript_tutorial_lesson.pdf

as I can see, you're using a bunch of Event objects, forces and scripts to move each part... keep in mind you can have problems adding too much objects to the project, so better if you unify all your scripts into only one... I would use 'booleans' and 'conditionals' to create and check states... i.e:

bool state; //always false by default

if (IN_0 == 1) { //if EventObject is on...
     state = true;
     // or do something...
}

if (state == true) {
     //do something...
     state = false; //optionally you can make it false again, at the end of this conditional
}

hope this help

thanx PsikoT it really helps, and for the whole project structure as well...
i've quite a good hand on the if()... thing but i must run through the tut again for the state thing..
thanks again man
ps: faizan is wright though, eh? i mean that LegSelector script could be executed once by using iInitializing...is that correct??

I actually thought you would have the script to make sure one leg is always touching the ground in the same script, so i thought that is where you should use iInitializing() to only check which leg to start with at the beggining XD

faizan yesterday i  tried to find a version that I did not open/save on v7.11 but no luck (my stupid vistas don't want to to show me dates, so i had to search through rad :()  ).  How about setting it up again (i know...so boring...)?
