Child entities won't move

[TheKkubas]

Hi! When I used Entity:Move child entities of model wont work. 3D model is moving but Leadwerks stuff like pivots, cameras etc. won't move. I discovered it on that script:

Script.object = "" --entity "Starship"
Script.pivot = "" --entity "CameraPos"
Script.uppoint = "" --entity "FowardPivot"
Script.backpoint = "" --entity "BackPivot"
Script.camera = "" --entity "Camera"
function Script:Start()

end

function Script:UpdateWorld()
objectrot = Vec3()
if window:KeyDown(Key.W) then

self.object:Move(self.uppoint:GetPosition())
end


if window:KeyDown(Key.A) then
local oldrotation = Vec3()
local newrotation = Vec3()
oldrotation = self.object:GetRotation()
newrotation = oldrotation+Vec3(0,0,0.7)
self.object:SetRotation(newrotation)
objectrot = newrotation

end

if window:KeyDown(Key.D) then
local oldrotation = Vec3()
local newrotation = Vec3()
oldrotation = self.object:GetRotation()
newrotation = oldrotation+Vec3(0,0,-0.7)
self.object:SetRotation(newrotation)
objectrot = newrotation

end
end

The

Script.uppoint = "" --entity "FowardPivot"

is a child of

Script.object = "" --entity "Starship"

. When i try to move with "W" pivot should go with spaceship but it won't.

This is a very strange line of code:

self.object:Move(self.uppoint:GetPosition())

 

If the child's position happens to be 0,0,0, no movement will occur. In any case I think the Move command does not work the way you are picturing:
