Dynamic hotspots behaving erratically

Hello everyone!

I have a quite complex object where I had hotspots controlling height, which behaved weirdly. I tried to make a new, much simpler object, and I still have the same problem, and I can't figure out why.

My hotspots are supposed to be in the corners of the object och every level, but they keep jumping in the Z direction, and I can't see a pattern of it. Can anyone figure out why? It's really annoying me.

!3D SCRIPT DIM shape[][] shape[1][1]=0 shape[2][1]=0 shape[3][1]=15 shape[1][2]=A shape[2][2]=0 shape[3][2]=15 shape[1][3]=A shape[2][3]=B shape[3][3]=15 shape[1][4]=0 shape[2][4]=B shape[3][4]=15 shape[1][5]=0 shape[2][5]=0 shape[3][5]=-1 FOR i=1 TO 5 PUT shape[1][i], shape[2][i], shape[3][i] NEXT i FOR i=1 TO num_stories PRISM_ 5, story_height[i], USE(NSP) ADDZ story_height[i] NEXT i DEL num_stories unID=0 FOR i=1 TO num_stories current_height=0 FOR j=1 TO i current_height=current_height+story_height[i] NEXT j FOR k=1 TO 4 !Story height hotspots unID=unID+1 : HOTSPOT shape[1][k], shape[2][k], current_height-story_height[i], unID, story_height[i], 1 + 128 unID=unID+1 : HOTSPOT shape[1][k], shape[2][k], current_height, unID, story_height[i], 2 unID=unID+1 : HOTSPOT shape[1][k], shape[2][k], -1, unID, story_height[i], 3 NEXT k NEXT i

My only parameters are the standard A and B for the size, story_height (an array of lengths) and num_stories (an integer between 1-10)

Thank you!

Because in your last for loop you are doing another one, this is unnecessary.

So the `current_height = current_height+story_height[i]` can run in the main loop (which already runs over all stories...).

Oh. Bah. That was embarrassingly simple, I don't even know why I though I needed to complicate it like that. Thank you so much!
