Help!!

Code: Select all

(e)=>{velocity = [x = 0, y = 40](m) / s}

1.
Does this have any chance of working; am i doing it wrong?

2.
Is here a way to change velocity?

3.
If so, how?

[standardtoaster]

You can't change the velocity of a preexisting object. You can spawn an object with a preexisting velocity. Velocity is a list with an x and y axis. [x, y] Velocity in a spawned object is:

Code: Select all

vel := [x, y]

humm that was quick, tks

[standardtoaster]

You're welcome.

[Way2crazy]

Well, while still on this topic, I know

Code: Select all

e.other.liquify

means that an object goes to liquid. Well is ther a way to reverse it and make liquid into solid? If you can how?

[standardtoaster]

You cannot make a liquid into a solid through thyme.

[Mystery]

You can only make a single partial into a solid.

Ok, how do you determin if it is a circle, polygon, rectangle.. Can you give me a code?

[link0007]

you can make an object into a string by adding an empty text to it:

Code: Select all

(e) => {e.other+""=="circle"?e.other.liquify:e.other.color = [0,0,0,1]}


This will only liquify circles.

thank you

How do you change the speed of a hinge with thyme? I know about custome variables but do you have to use oncolide and hit the hinge?

[standardtoaster]

Make a variable.

Code: Select all

scene.my.speed = 0

In the onCollide of an object put:

Code: Select all

scene.my.speed = scene.my.speed + 1

In the MotorSpeed section of the script menu on the hinge put:

Code: Select all

{scene.my.speed}

How's that?

[Way2crazy]

Ah! :^) I can't thank you enough

[algadoodle123]

what are you planning to create? or are you just expanding your knowledge for the knowledge?

[Way2crazy]

im expanding my knowledge for maby future things

Ok, :^) last few questions:


Can you make an on colide an when the on colide happens, you follow an object?

Can you make a "count down" timer do anything when say( it goes from 10 sec. To 0) do anything when it reaches 0?

And lastly, can you "on colide" something and delete something further away from the colision?

[standardtoaster]

Code: Select all

sim.time - e.this.controllerAcc >= 10 ? {do what you want} : {}
//make sure the controller accelerator of the object is set to 0

Code: Select all

sim.time - e.this.controllerAcc >= 10 ? {do what you want; e.this.controllerAcc = sim.time} : {}

To execute those scripts you need to use a beacon.

Code: Select all

scene.my.density = 2

In the density part of the script menu on the far away object put:

Code: Select all

{scene.my.density}

In the onCollide of an object put:

Code: Select all

scene.my.density = 0

This will work well if you are using Algodoo. If you are using phun for this it will probably crash. Phun can't handle zero density very well.
In order to follow the object through onCollide you will need to know the objects entityID you can do that through the new method.

Code: Select all

e.other.entityID := 1; scene.addGroup({name := "tracked" entityIDs := [e.other.entityID]})

I am sure that that script will work, but I'm not very keen on the "new method." If that script doesn't work then you can try this method:

Code: Select all

scene.my.collideSet = 0

In the collideSet of the circle on the beacon put:

Code: Select all

{scene.my.collideSet}

onCollide of an object:

Code: Select all

scene.my.collideSet = 1

In the onCollide of the circle put:

Code: Select all

scene.camera.pan = e.pos

Keep in mind that all of these scripts are from the top of my head.

[Way2crazy]

:^) pure brain power, you are a god

[Dadasas]

Code: Select all

(e) => {e.other+""=="circle"?e.other.liquify ; e.other.color = [0,0,0,1]}


Fix'd .

[standardtoaster]

That script doesn't work. Function call applied to Non-function

Code: Select all

e.other + "" == "circle" ? {e.other.liquify} : {e.other.color = [0, 0, 0, 1]}

This one does.
