createMyAvatar Issues
Posted: 18 Sep 2009, 22:01
Hello,
When I invoke the createMyAvatar method from the open space object, I am receiving the following error:
method invokation
My openspace config file is as follows:
I have verified that at least one walkable tile is active in the 0,0,0 position (just for testing).
Does this exception mean that the WalkingAvatar class cannot be instantiated?
I should note that our custom avatar is working in a modified version of the ranch example. Is there something specific in the backgrounds or skins fla that needs to link to the WalkingAvatar class or is that specifically a function of the openspace configuration to define this?
Your help is very much appreciated.
On another note, I have to say that the openspace editor is a bit rough around the edges. I sincerely hope that it evolves into a more usable product (especially since we just dropped the money to go ahead and purchase it). A short list of wish list features includes: undo, drag and drop of assetts on the map once they are placed, consistent saving mechanism, user feedback after a map is exported, etc.
Thanks!
Paul
