help on homework assignment

[tacpdaddy]

Hello,

I decided to get back into programming through online courses since I'm nearing retirement from the military.

I'm a little stumped on how to finish my homework assignment. I'm no expert with ALICE, but I feel like I have a decent handle on things.

I've created the environment per the instructions, and multiple methods. My sailboat is supposed to pick up all of the object when it's within 3m (which it does), but I'm having issues with the ending..

I've spent about three hours troubleshooting and I can't figure it out... What am I doing wrong in order to have the 3D text show correctly AND only when all 7 objects have been collected?

-thanks in advance!

Didn't look at the project, but:
One way is to setup the 3D Text object, load the characters, place it in somewhere in front of the camera.

Lastly, set it's vehicle to the Camera, and set it's opacity to 0%

Whenever you need it, reset the opacity to 100%

And, yes, It's a good field to enter.

I'd go with what MrMoke said.

And you're in the military?!

Yeah, I'm active duty Air Force.

I'm playing with calling the 3dtext/changing it's opacity. That's simple enough to do, thanks.

I'm now stuck on how to add each object to the picked up object list once it's been picked up so that the text opacity will be called once I have all the objects from the initial object list.

Edit, I found a lame way of doing it.. By saying If object 7 is within 1m of an object, set opacity of 3dtext. It works, but it's not ideal if the user picks up the 7th object prior to the previous 6.

Yes, I second this.

And pertaining to this post, you could make a variable that raises by one each time that you pick up an object. Once you get to the seventh object, then you do what you did with the opacity. Sounds like an ambitious project though.

I was trying to point out to him that swearing isn't allowed here. Just helping. Jeez, next time you can do it.

I remember there being 2 ways of doing it. Turns out the newer version of Alice 2.0 no longer lets you build custom characters, nor does it let you use 2 ways of doing said option (what tacpdaddy said)
