Hello, List!
The issue I'm struggling with is how to automatically load a BVH avatar during the creation of an island.
In an earlier thread ("How to use 'croquet.props'" from October 15th) I was working through how to load a BVH avatar through the "croquet.props" file rather than through the CLoadMotionAvatarWindow route (i.e., user driven menu).
It turns out that, regardless of whether I use "croquet.props" or not, any attempt I make to automatically load a BVH avatar (e.g., via CroquetHarnessWithMenu>>initialize) ends up throwing the following error as seen in this debug trace excerpt:
MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>whenResolved:
UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand:
TAvatarUserMotion>>preRenderMotions
TAvatarUserMotion>>loadAvatarWithRestMotion:withWalkMotion:objFileName:translation:scale:
.
.
.
The Squeak debugger reveals that inside of TAvatarUserMotion>>preRenderMotions we have:
motionPlayer := self costume future child: 4.
motionPlayer whenResolved: [
motionPlayer future preRenderMotions.
]
and "motionPlayer" ends up being nil because costume is nil.
I'm having a devil of a time figuring out what to do about this. Does anyone have a working snipet of code or any insights regarding this issue?
Thanks much!
