I am creating a simulation where I need to trigger a stop function on my running simulation if there is movement in a certain area. I was thinking of ray casting for this, but I haven't been able to find any info on this. I also tried using the laser to no avail.

Is this not a feature in RoboDK? If so, is there any way I can possibly achieve this?

Thanks

You should be able to call Stop on a robot or a program to stop them:

Hi Mjavala,

I think what you are trying to do is simulate a light/laser curtain.
What Albert gave you is a way to stop the program once the laser curtain is triggered.

To create the laser curtain itself, I think I would use this API call://www.sinclairbody.com/doc/en/PythonAPI/robo...ision_Line
它会让你定义一个line (or many lines) and trigger a collision as soon a something cross that invisible line.

Let me know if it helps.
