Description

Moves all parts of a dynamic aircraft carrier back into place relative to its base object. For every entry of the base's "bis_carrierParts" variable, the part gets the base's vectorDir and vectorUp and is moved with setPosWorld to the position of its memory point on the base. It does nothing where isServer is false.

The function is called from the carrier base's Dragged3DEN Eden event handler when the carrier is dragged in Eden Editor. As the code does not depend on Eden, it can also be called by scripts after the base has been moved during a mission.

Syntax

carrier call BIS_fnc_carrier01PosUpdate

Parameters:

carrier: Object - the carrier base object holding the "bis_carrierParts" variable

Returns: Nothing

Examples

Example 1

Carrier base config (event handlers as given in the function's header):

class EventHandlers
{
    init = "_this call BIS_fnc_carrier01Init";
    AttributesChanged3DEN = "_this call BIS_fnc_carrier01EdenInit";
    Dragged3DEN = "_this call BIS_fnc_carrier01PosUpdate";
    RegisteredToWorld3DEN = "_this call BIS_fnc_carrier01EdenInit";
    UnregisteredFromWorld3DEN = "_this call BIS_fnc_carrier01EdenDelete";
};

Example 2

Move a carrier during a mission (server side):

myCarrier setPosWorld (getPosWorld myCarrier vectorAdd [0, 500, 0]);
myCarrier call BIS_fnc_carrier01PosUpdate;
