I understand that, those behaviors take care of everything, and make
coffee too. All you're trying to do is parent one thing to another,
but do you want to directly manipulate the model with the mouse, or
can you get by with keystrokes? Here's a simple script to show just
the parenting part of things:
Make a new movie that has one cast member, a 3D member named "world".
Drag it onto the stage. Make a movie script (command-shift-u will do)
and paste this in there:
global littleboxmodel,bigboxmodel
on startmovie
w = member("world")
w.resetworld()
littleboxRes = w.newmodelresource("little box", #box)
littleboxRes.width = 10
littleboxRes.height = 10
littleboxRes.length = 10
bigboxRes = w.newmodelresource("big box", #box)
bigboxRes.width = 50
bigboxRes.height = 50
bigboxRes.length = 50
littleboxmodel = w.newmodel("little box",littleboxRes)
bigboxmodel = w.newmodel("big box",bigboxRes)
bigboxmodel.parent = littleboxmodel
bigboxmodel.translate(100,0,0)
end
on exitframe
bigleft = keypressed("j")
bigright = keypressed("l")
bigup = keypressed("i")
bigdown = keypressed("k")
littleleft = keypressed("a")
littleright = keypressed("d")
littleup = keypressed("w")
littledown = keypressed("s")
bigboxmodel.rotate(-bigleft+bigright,-bigup+bigdown,0)
littleboxmodel.rotate(-littleleft+littleright,-littleup+littledown,0)
go the frame
end
Run the movie, and you should see that pressing the keys ijkl will
rotate just the big box, and the keys wasd will rotate the little box
and the big box. Then let me know if you have questions!
