int aw_mover_rider_add (int id, int session, int dist, int angle, int y_delta, int yaw_delta, int pitch_delta)

Description

Adds a rider to a mover.

Callback

None (returns immediately)

Notes

If the method was succesful then it will trigger an AW_EVENT_ENTITY_RIDER_ADD.

Argument

id
Mover ID. Reference to AW_ENTITY_ID.
session
Session number of the rider.
dist
Distance in the XZ plane from the origo of the mover object to the rider.
angle
Angle in the XZ plane between the Z axis of the mover object and the rider.
y_delta
Distance along the Y axis from the origo of the mover to the Y coordinate of the rider.
yaw_delta
Yaw of the rider, relative to the yaw of the mover object.
pitch_delta
Pitch of the rider, relative to the pitch of the mover object.

Distances are in centimeters. Angles are in tenths of a degree.

r = rider
m = mover object
a = angle between the vectors mz and mr

a corresponds to the angle argument.
distance between m and r corresponds to the dist argument.

 r = rider
 m = mover object
 b = point with the y coordinate of the rider (in the local coordinate system of the mover object) and the x coordinate 0

 distance between m and b corresponds to the y_delta argument.

Note that the x component of the vector mr is the same in both the XZ and the XY planes.

None

Return values

RC_SUCCESS
RC_NOT_INITIALIZED
RC_NO_INSTANCE
RC_NO_CONNECTION
The connection to the world is down.
RC_UNAUTHORIZED
Only instances owned by a caretaker (i.e. aw_bool (AW_WORLD_CARETAKER_CAPABILITY) returns 1) may use this method.

Returned attributes

None

Usage

See Movers for an example how to change states and thereby control a mover.
