Dynamic hotspots behaving erratically

[Kaj_AL]

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.

	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!
