That video is old, and those APIs are deprecated.

Nowadays you would use sim.getObject to retrieve object handles.

Depending on what you want to do, you can use Path objects, or you can simply generate the path data as sequences of 3D (or 7D for poses) points.

Always refer to the manual for the most up-to-date way of doing things.

hello fferri

Thank you for your reply!!

So I have a conveyerbelt with a proximitysensor, on top of the belt there is a cube.
If the sensor detects the cube, the belt has to stop.

I am really struggling with this.

I think you might need to get the handle of conveyour and put the movement option to false when you get a signal from the sensor

Hi Jeneaux,

first, the cube has to be set 'Detectable' in its properties.

Then you would use (e.g. in the sensing phase of a child script) sim.readProximitySensor(sensorHandle) and if something is detected (result==1), you would react with some action controlling the conveyor model; have a look at the conveyor model's script for information on how to control it.

hello

Thanks!!

Its working now.
