I pass a field into the prototype a field to indicate where, if at all, the door should hinge. A simple integer, 0 = no hinge, 1 = left hinge, etc. I want to disable the TouchSensor when no hinge is specified.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I already have a Script, with ‘directOutput’ set to true, that has an initialize() function to set up other nodes for drawing, based on passed in field data. So, I thought, why not add a simple check to this function, and set the ‘enabled’ field of the TouchSensor appropriately. So I created a Node field in the Script, and set the value to be a TouchSensor node, that USEd the actual TouchSensor node. Then I set the ‘enabled’ field appropriately in the initialize() function. This did not work. The TouchSensor remains in the enabled state set in the node itself. I then tried a second option, creating an outputOnly SFBool variable in the Script, setting that in the initialise() function, and then ROUTEing that to the ‘enabled’ field of the TouchSensor. Still doesn’t work.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, I have two questions:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><ol style='margin-top:0cm' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Can a TouchSensor be enabled/disabled simply by a ‘directOutput’ from a Script, particularly in an initialise() function?
