direct.controls.ObserverWalker

from direct.controls.ObserverWalker import ObserverWalker

ObserverWalker.py is for avatars.

A walker control such as this one provides:

• creation of the collision nodes

• handling the keyboard and mouse input for avatar movement

• moving the avatar

it does not:

• play sounds

• play animations

although it does send messages that allow a listener to play sounds or animations based on walker events.
