WEEK 4: Adding New Behaviors and Menu Options

FUNCTIONS (continued)

Notice that your Line 6 has now changed to reflect the Function number you inserted, and it now reads "Create New Object Instance.

And you will also notice that there are other descriptive words enclosed within the parentheses after "Create New Object Instance). The words inside the parentheses tells where the new object will be created. Place in front of me is, of course, telling the chair where to place the new object (a sim) — in front of me (the chair). I know this can get confusing; however, right now it is not terribly important. Eventually you will get the hang of it.

Let's go back to the Data box, and try something else. Get rid of the "1280" in Parameter 3 by inserting the number "1264" in there.

Your Line 6 changed and should look like this one:
