How to do Multiple passes with Behaviour 2005-06-07 - By Aloys Baillet
Back
Hi Sandy,
The error you get means that DrvMotion is not properly initialized.
You could check if this works:
global var motion = new DrvMotion(world, "C:\\mymotions\\");
and be sure that the mymotion dir exists!
Hope this helps... and good luck!

You could check if this works:<br>

Hope this helps... and good luck!<br>
