change density for a limited period only

[MyMan]

Hey,
is it possible to change something like the density just for a limited period?

e.g.

onHitByLaser = (e)=>{density = 0.005}
but after 5 seconds the density should return to 2.0

Yes, it is possible. Is it ok if it uses scene.my.* variables, or not?

[MyMan]

Yes
it is ok
But then you have to tell me every little step.
I have no experience with own variables

Okay, I'll try to explain:

• Open the console by pressing the "~" button.
• Type into the console: scene.my.densityChange = 2
• Open the script menu of the object where you want to change the density.
• Remove the "2.0" from the density value inside the script menu, and type: {scene.my.density}
• Change the controllerAcc of the object to 0.
• In the onHitByLaser value, type:
  
  (e)=>{
  scene.my.densityChange != 2 ? {
  sim.time - controllerAcc >= 1 ? {
  scene.my.density = 2
  } : {}
  } : {
  controllerAcc = sim.time
  }
  }

And there you go. Whenever you want to change the density of that object, change the value of scene.my.densityChange. After 1 second, the density will return to 2.

The red "1" inside the code is the number of seconds it takes to change the density back to 2.

If you don't want to use scene.my variables, try this:

On the box you want to change the density change these two pieces of code..

Code: Select all

onHitByLaser := (e)=>{
        density = 1;
        e.this.controllerAcc = sim.time
    }

And also

Code: Select all

update := (e)=>{
        sim.time - controllerAcc >= 2 ? {
            density = 2
        } : {}
    }
