Proximity sensor
A proximity sensor launches a reaction when one object enters or exits a certain distance from another object.
For example, when Krazee Bob approaches the Welcome mat, the Saloon doors open.
To create a proximity sensor:
- Multi-select two objects, then choose Interaction > Sensor > Proximity.
- In the Interaction Editor, expand the proximity sensor and select the event you want to use:
Launches a reaction when the objects approaching each other come within the limit distance.
Launches a reaction when the objects moving apart exit the limit distance.
- Drag from the event to a reaction to link them.
- With the sensor still selected, set the Limit in the Parameter Editor.
- Select the proximity sensor and adjust its parameters in the Parameter Editor. This is distance in units at which the reaction is triggered.
- To test the interaction, add a Translate handle to one of the objects, then switch to Browse mode and drag one object close to the other.
