[SOLVED] Change CollideSet with "OnHitByLaser"

[nylan]

Hi,

I would like to change the collideSet of my geometry after a laserhit.

I tried to test with :

OnHitByLaser = (e)=>{e.this.collideSet = 2}

but it didn't work ...

In the end, I would like to do :

- CollideSet = 9
- Laser hit -> CollideSet = 2
- Laser hit -> CollideSet = 9
- Laser hit -> CollideSet = 2
...
...etc

Thank you.

In onLaserHit It's not "this" and "other". it's "geom" and "laser".

Code: Select all

(e)=>{e.geom.collideSet}

night!

For the 9 3 9 3 etc. you have to use an if-statement. This is the code for OnHitByLaser of the box

Code: Select all

(e)=>{e.geom.collideSet == 9 ? {e.geom.collideSet := 3}:{e.geom.collideSet := 9}}

Or the "reversed" way:

Code: Select all

(e)=>{e.geom.collideSet == 3 ? {e.geom.collideSet := 9}:{e.geom.collideSet := 3}}

Hello,

Rideg, thank you for this, I'll know this know.

Matten, Thank you too, it's a nice script but the collision layer is switching too fast.

I used this script for a geometry, pointing a laser on it :

I would like a "pause" before re-switch for about 2sec, is it possible ?

Thank you.

That the collision script changes to fast is simple: the laser fires every sec. 10000 "beams" or something like that, so every 0.0001 sec. the script is executed. If you want to make a "wait" option the only thing I can think of is this:

Make a variable named something like scene.my.wait and give it the value (beams per sec.×the number of seconds wait). And put the following code into the box (onHitByLaser)

Code: Select all

(e)=>{scene.my.wait == 0 ? {e.geom.collideSet == 9 ? {e.geom.collideSet := 3}:{e.geom.collideSet := 9}; scene.my.wait := 20000}:{scene.my.wait := scene.my.wait - 1}}

I think that you can find in the config the number of beams a laser fires per sec.

Edit I think I have found the beams per sec. In the config you can find a "maxfps" with the value 60. And a beam is fired every frame, so the value you have to give to scene.my.wait is 60×the number of sec.
Here the edit of the code (with 2 sec. waiting)

Code: Select all

(e)=>{scene.my.wait == 0 ? {e.geom.collideSet == 9 ? {e.geom.collideSet := 3}:{e.geom.collideSet := 9}; scene.my.wait := 120}:{scene.my.wait := scene.my.wait - 1}}

Don't forget to declare scene.my.wait in the console first! (with value 120!)

That's overcomplicated here's an easy way that i use almost every time I script. first you set the controllerAcc to 0. Then you type

Code: Select all

(e)=>{
    (sim.time - e.geom.controllerAcc) >= 2 ? {
        e.geom.collideSet == 9 ? {e.geom.collideSet := 3} : {e.geom.collideSet := 9};
        e.geom.controllerAcc = sim.time
    } : {}
}

This will change the collideSet and wait 2 second before it changes back and do it all over (I've tested it) Hope this helped

[Matten]

The way Rideg used is better, because in his code it really switches every 2 sec. I've tested my script and that isn't every 2 sec. (but if you want an interval that isn't in sec. you can use my method)

[nylan]

I tried yours Matten, it's working, and i can do a fine tune for this timer

Rideg, I think yours is good too bug i don't know how to set controllerAcc to 0

I'm a newbie in scripting

[Rideg]

Select an object click geometry controller and drag the bar to 0.

Damn I thought you were talking about other setting

Thank you again
