Controller input - cannot get it to work
I am missing something here.
I am making a treasure chest.
I have a trigger sensor on the chest. This is wired to a text displayer and a controller sensor inside a microchip. The Text shows a triangle.
The controller sensor has a wire from the triangle output to an Action Recorder.
The idea is you display a triangle when in the trigger zone, player presses triangle - box opens up.
Text displays fine. But nothing happens when I push triangle or hold triangle. The action recorder does not play.
Also there does not seem to be a way to power off the display triangle. When you press triangle I want the triangle display to stop and not display again.
I have released it - broken in case that will help diagnose what I am doing wrong here.

Hi,
This is because you haven't 'possesed' the control sensor.
If you tweak the control sensor and go to the page that has the options for control type, set it to remote control.
Youay also only want it to work when near so wire the trigger zone into the power of the control sensor
Hope that helps

Hi there!
Firstly you will need to set your control sensor to be remote controllable. As otherwise it needs to be possessed to detect the button press.
That should fix the control sensor not playing the animation.
I would also then make a change to your logic so the trigger zone is inside the microchip, not outside of like it currently is and have the control sensor powered off the detection on the trigger zone.
And then I'd add in a keyframe (with keep changes on) which is recording you powering off the microchip.
And have the keyframe powered of the end trigger from the action recorder's output for it ending.
Thanks,

Thank you. I now have a working treasure chest with a key. Happy days.
