Pick up item text #5

Closed Haden2 closed 9 years ago

Haden2 commented 9 years ago

Activates when walking into sphere. Stays activated however.

Haden2 commented 9 years ago

I can fix this by creating another variable 'blank' and setting that to equal 0 color. I have done this so now the code with say if I am not touching the pickup tag, return the message to blank. I can surround the sphere with objects that dont have the pickup tag so it goes away.

Created four planes around the sphere so the text goes away when backing away from the object. Not the most effective way in the world because I know there is code to do this, but it works. Sooo...

It seems very wasteful to create 4 extra objects to deactivate the text. At this point in the project I suggest we find a simpler solution since this will likely come up a lot more. It's easier to get it right now then re-do it a bunch of times later.

Yeah, you are right. I actually just need to look back at the tutorials, but I was just trying to fix the issue as soon as possible because it was taking me a long time to get around to it.

That's fair. The balance between doing it right and doing it fast is always hard to get right.

DONE! The four planes are gone and the code works. Moving on to the next thing now.
