- You can use setDir to change the direction of the attached object. The direction is relative to the object you attach it to, so setDir 180 won't point to the south but to the rear of the object you attach it to.
Use setPos to synchronize the direction of the object in a network game.
Example code:
Object setDir 180; Object setpos getpos Object; - Posted on September 17, 2011 - 19:20

Some objects you cannot attach anything to. To be more precise, you can attach objects to them, but the behaviour is unexpected. For instance:
SuitcaseObject attachTo [FoldingTableObject, [0,0,0]];You would expect the suitcase to jump to the pivot point of the table, and stick to it. Instead, the suitcase will freeze in it's original position. Even if the table is moved, the suitcase will be unaffected: it will not follow the table, it will not even respond to actions it reacted to prior to being attached: pushing, being shot at, etc.. It's just an object frozen in space. In MP it's even weirder, the suitcase would turn invisible. Dodgy objects when it comes to attaching things to them: most in Objects(small), Objects(signs), all of Objects(helpers) categories, etc..
