Best practice to teleport an object

wouldnt it rotate the TeleportPoint instead of the objectToTeleport (the player)?

Updated the reply :slightly_smiling_face: forgot to pass in the object. And you can pass in the whole vector

23

I will point out that since objectToTeleport is marked with ‘?’, I had to add ‘!’ and also since RigidBody isn’t isObject3D, I had to pass in .gameObject. Result:

        setWorldRotation(this.objectToTeleport!.gameObject, rotation);

Will try it RN and update :slightly_smiling_face:

Ah ok sorry wasnt paying attention :slightly_smiling_face:

26

I think easy access on the gameObject to worldpos etc itself would be very useful so I’ll look into adding this now (and being able to set it)

27

Not sure why threejs doesnt make this easier ^^

28

I tried what we got to and it still did not work.
Would love any other ideas :jigsaw:

One second - will repro

this is the final code for your reproduction:

import { Behaviour, Rigidbody, getWorldPosition, getWorldRotation, serializable, setWorldRotation } from "@needle-tools/engine"

export class TeleportPoint extends Behaviour {

    /** The object to move on teleport */
    @serializable(Rigidbody) objectToTeleport?: Rigidbody;

    public teleport(){
        // teleport
        this.objectToTeleport?.teleport(getWorldPosition(this.gameObject));

        // rotate
        let rotation = getWorldRotation(this.gameObject);
        setWorldRotation(this.objectToTeleport!.gameObject, rotation);
    }
    
}```

import { Behaviour, GameObject, Rigidbody, getWorldPosition, getWorldRotation, serializable, setWorldRotation } from "@needle-tools/engine"

export class TeleportPoint extends Behaviour {

    @serializable(GameObject)
    target!: GameObject;

    /** The object to move on teleport */
    @serializable(Rigidbody) objectToTeleport?: Rigidbody;


    private _start!: GameObject;

    start() {
        this._start = this.objectToTeleport!.gameObject.parent as GameObject;

        let i = 0;
        setInterval(() => {
            i++;
            let target = i % 2 == 0 ? this.target : this._start;

            // teleport
            this.objectToTeleport?.teleport(getWorldPosition(target), false);

            // rotate
            let rotation = getWorldRotation(target);
            setWorldRotation(this.objectToTeleport!.gameObject, rotation)

        }, 1000)
    }

}

sorry teleport has a second argument which is “false” by default and assumes local space

The next version will make this possible :slightly_smiling_face:

It looks like it rotates for you but it won’t for me. What am I missing? :sweat_smile:

Good question ^^

40

maybe I should draw a line to point to where I am trying to rotate my character or somthing, the rotation does not work for me at all
