Is it possible to have and object follow a path only when a third object is clicked on. Is there anyway to do this in web engine or through manual coding (i don't care how i do it, as long as it gets done)

Anyone know?
or does anyone know where i might fing my answer?
im sifting through various resource sites but still no luck

This should work ( but I haven't tested it):

Make an action to have the item (say 'obj1') follow the path, then create an event on 'obj1' that has the action 'motion' when active (and no motion when not active)

On the 3rd object, create an event that on mouse select triggers the behaviour on 'obj1'

i tried something along those lines, and it crashed. I tried it again and it crashed. I think theres a possible bug in the software or my pc is broken (lol)
unsure, i recently had to reformat my computer because i installed a microsoft longhorn Beta and it wasn't very good.
So it may be to do with that, because i can no longer run MS Works either

I just tried it and it does not crash for me.

i'm pretty sure it's my computer, i can't run windows media player either.... im gonna get a new HD tommorrow so gotta back everything up.
I'm 99% sure that it's my pc.

I suppose that should be a warning to people... Don't download the longhorn betas, they are too good to be true and yes, they don't work properly.
i'm starting to have doubts that they are official releases.

If you are planning to reformat your hard drive, and you are a "bleeding edge" experimenter, you might consider creating two (or more) partitions so that you boot into different experimental operating systems.

eg.
c:\ basic windows operating system
d:\ longhorn experiment (if you must)
e:\ linux

Partition Magic from here makes it easy to create dual OS and to boot from different partitions.

If one partition crashes you can access the files from another bootable OS.

...

Incidentally, have you tried booting up your OS in "safe mode" .. and/or going back to a recovery point?

im sorry but i'm an idiot, i set no recover points, but really i dnt mind.
Cus i only have a puny 20 gig internal, and most important stuff is stored on my external which is an awesome 300 gig
so if i get a new internal in theory my pc should run better (its about 85% used up)
i'm hoping to con my dad into buying about 80 gig one (fingers crossed)
i went to pc world but my dads worried cus they cost like £80
i have a c and d drive... is that what you mean?
if so how can you do them yourself, because mine
came with it already like that

There was a time when I relied on far less than that in a early generation PC .. 10 MB hard drive and less!

If you have an external 300 GB disk (in your D drive) then you are quids in.

Remember that relying on a single disk drive is putting all your eggs in one basket.
If it crashes (as it will in time) you lose a lot of data.

If you have a CD R/W you can back up to CD, or better to another external disk.

Since you are short of cash try this
free partition manager.

others here .. partition manager search

I would try partitioning your external disk drive (300 GB) into a number of partitions (do not reformat the entire disk since you will lose all your data inside the 300 GB).

Assume you have created four partitions.

Your main disk will stay as C:\

then you should see

C:\
D:\
E:\
F:\
G:\

If you don't mind the hit on the external disk you can experiment with programs and even operating systems running in your external disk. You could install Linux in an external disk partition.

So with a bit of reorganisation of your disks (freeing up your C:\ disk) you will not need to fork out £80.

Performance will be improved by defragging your disks. Also increase your paging file size.

And you can compress rarely used data.

thanks, i'll try that software. Sorry i read this post too late and my dad already bought it for me.
But it's my dads money, not mine... so i don't mind. just means i have more choars
Thanks for the software link much appreciated
