How Do you Spawn a Shape With different Collisions?

[Dezzeron]

The title says it all, but I will elaborate...

I'm trying to make something where a certain object hits another, and a circle spawns. But, I cant find out how to change what it collides with, e.g right now it only collides with group "a", I want it to collide with b,c, and d... but I cant find out how! Someone HALP!!

A = 1
B = 2
C = 4
D = 8
E = 16
F = 32
G = 64

add numbers together to get different collideSet values. When you spawn the circle make sure to put collideSet := 22

And if you want to see which collision layers are included in one number you have to do it this way:

- - - - -

what's the highest power of two that fits in 22? - 16

6 left: what's the highest power of two that fits in 6? - 4

2 left: what's the highest power of two that fits in 2? - 2

- - - - -

so you have the numbers 16, 4 and 2. that's collision layer E, C and B.
With a littlebit of practice you will know them just by looking at it.

You are all Awesome!!

I still dont understand, can you put the full code?

[algadoodle123]

oncollide =

Code: Select all

(e)=>{scene.addCircle({radius:= "your size"; pos:=e.pos; collideset:=22})}

[standardtoaster]

Wrong.

Code: Select all

scene.addCircle({radius := size; pos := e.pos; collideSet := 22})

[Dezzeron]

Ok, can you add it on to this code I have so far?

Code: Select all

(e)=>{
    (sim.time > (scene.my.lastshoot + 0.010000001) ? {         scene.my.lastshoot = sim.time;         scene.addcircle({             pos := e.pos;             radius := 0.050000001;             density := 5500000;             color := [0, 0, 0, 1]         });         scene.addpen({             pos := e.pos;             fadetime := 0.1;             size = 0.1;             color := [1, 1, 0, 0.5]         })     } : {}) }

[standardtoaster]

Code: Select all

sim.time > scene.my.lastshoot + 0.010000001 ? {scene.my.lastshoot = sim.time; scene.addCircle({pos := e.pos; radius := 0.050000001; density := 5500000; color := [0, 0, 0, 1]; collideSet := 22}); scene.addPen({pos := e.pos; fadeTime := 0.1; size := 0.1; color := [1, 1, 0, 0.5]})} : {}

[Dezzeron]

It still doesnt work, can you make the code so the ball collides with collision groups "b" "c" and "d"? Thanks...

[standardtoaster]

*sigh* Add and subtract the collideSet values to get what you want or make an object with the collision layers you want, select it, go to its script menu, and look at the collideSet value. >.> But since you're lazy the collideSet for b, c, and d is 14.

[Dezzeron]

I'm sorry, but it still doesnt work!

[standardtoaster]

Sorry. >.>

Code: Select all

    sim.time > (scene.my.lastshoot + 0.010000001) ? {scene.my.lastshoot = sim.time; scene.addCircle({pos := e.pos; radius := 0.050000001; density := 5500000; color := [0, 0, 0, 1]; collideSet := 22}); scene.addPen({pos := e.pos; fadeTime := 0.1; size := 0.1; color := [1, 1, 0, 0.5]})} : {}

The weirdness of the collideset variable is based in binary. If you take the number for a given combination of collision sets and translate it into binary, you will get a very neat display in which each digit represents a collision group. If it's one, it collides with that group, and if it's zero, then it doesn't.

0000001 = 1 = A
0000000 = 0 = none
1111111 = 127 = all
0101010 = 42 = B, D, F
0001000 = 8 = D

[Dezzeron]

Dammit! It STILL doesnt work! Make sure you make it collide with "b" "c" and "d"!

[standardtoaster]

God! Why can't you learn to edit a goddamn script! >:C

Code: Select all

        sim.time > (scene.my.lastshoot + 0.010000001) ? {scene.my.lastshoot = sim.time; scene.addCircle({pos := e.pos; radius := 0.050000001; density := 5500000; color := [0, 0, 0, 1]; collideSet := 14}); scene.addPen({pos := e.pos; fadeTime := 0.1; size := 0.1; color := [1, 1, 0, 0.5]})} : {}

You're the one who can't understand simple things. You can even observe it in-game without asking here.

[Dezzeron]

I did edit the script, and it doesnt work! I dont know why, I did everything I was supposed to...

[standardtoaster]

Did the script I just post work? It does for me. Did you declare scene.my.lastshoot?

[Dezzeron]

What do you mean? I am such a noob to scripting...

[standardtoaster]

Declaring a variable: Press ~ or F11, type scene.my.lastshoot = 0, press enter, now put this script into the onCollide of the object.

Code: Select all

            sim.time > (scene.my.lastshoot + 0.010000001) ? {scene.my.lastshoot = sim.time; scene.addCircle({pos := e.pos; radius := 0.050000001; density := 5500000; color := [0, 0, 0, 1]; collideSet := 14}); scene.addPen({pos := e.pos; fadeTime := 0.1; size := 0.1; color := [1, 1, 0, 0.5]})} : {}

[Dezzeron]

It still doesnt work... do you want me to upload the scene so you can try? I swear, it is really screwed up...

[standardtoaster]

Jesus christ... How is it that your are messing it up? I have tested this script at least ten times now and it works every time.

[Dezzeron]

I dont know, it... gah... just for get it.

[standardtoaster]

If you could upload the scene I can make it work.
