or an '/echo add loc' or something....

OK, stripped down the number of locs in my ini and this ran smoothly

I know see the finesse of the InitAPFVars speed value although this could get messy recording a complex path at a low value

What this leads me to think is that it would be very cool to have some kind of single loc record function that allows us to make keypress/simple function call selections of locs the toon is at, that are then being written to a single path file.
eg. run to certain point, record that loc, run to another, record that, etc, and each loc going into the same path file...?

I'm happy to manually edit loc files in initial creation, but this would be very cool... it also sounds diff to a newb like myself :-)

[edit]
I'm thinking something like a pause and a file append with file name specified perhaps?

If you are strictly talking about the recording portion just change the number in red to like 18 or something and see if this helps. This should ensure that it only plots a location in your path file at a minimum of an 18 loc measurement from the previous loc.

Code: Select all

        /varadd NumLocs 1 
    } else { 
        /if n $distance($arg(1,"@LocArray($calc(@NumLocs-1))"),$arg(2,"@LocArray($calc(@NumLocs-1))"),$arg(3,"@LocArray($calc(@NumLocs-1))"))>[color=red]12[/color] { 
            /varset LocArray(@NumLocs) "$char(y) $char(x) $char(z)" 
            /varadd NumLocs 1 
        } 
    }

Updated:
advpath.inc
advpath.txt

I've added in a manual record mode that will let you precisely plot locs if auto mode isn't accurate enough for what you are recording.

To record in Auto mode just use the command as you always had:
/echo record PATHFILENAME

To record in Manual mode add the manual parameter like this:
/echo record PATHFILENAME manual

If you are in Manual record mode you plot locations with the new command that was added:
/echo plot

Once you are done plotting locations just issue the stop command as you always have:
/echo stop
