Point Constraint Tag

This tag is an expression tag. It modifies the tags owners position values in such a manner that the owners coordinate system origin has the same global position as the target object.

You can use this tag for example to make a space ship track another one.

Properties

  • Constrain: Chose which position coordinates of the tag are allowed to be modify.
  • Offset: Set a global position offset of the targets origin.
  • Weight: Mix the current position with the target position. In animations a mix value smaller than 1 causes a delay of the tracking object.
  • Target: The target object to which the tag owner is moved.
  • Maintain: If this property is checked on the original position of the tags owner will be maintained and the position of the target object will be relative to this position. Therefore the offset property of this tag will be adjusted automatically when you drag & drop the target object on the target property field. So if you want to maintain the position first check on the maintain property and then assign the target object.
