Changing collisionset on collide

[docg]

e.geom.collideset = X
Doesnt work when collide
Never mind
NVM

[KarateBrot]

you have to use e.this. or e.other.

[cellers]

use := to set collideset

[Chronos]

use := to set collideset

No, you don't. Only if you're spawning it. KB already told him the answer.

[cellers]

use := to set collideset

No, you don't. Only if you're spawning it. KB already told him the answer.

It is safer to use ": =" in both cases.

[Chronos]

No it's not. := isn't for that. := is for spawning (and a safer way to create variables). Not for changing an pre-existing variable.

[cellers]

Chronos
No difference. things that are for anything you can use for other purposes

[Mr_Stabby]

difference is it spams algodoo console then corrects your code assuming its a typo which costs performance

[cellers]

Mr_Stabby
So we must ask
programmers to make algodoo correcting code once.

[Chronos]

Or maybe you should just use the right symbol.

[RicH]

Plus, it's also a way for Algodoo to know whether you're declaring a new variable or simply just changing its value.

[Mystery]

Yes, a good example of this is when creating variables.
Thyme is a language like English or Russian, Algodoo registers thyme as if you i were talking to it in plain English, if i were to say "change density to 11" that would make perfect sense. If i were to say "Create a variable called density and make it 11" For obvious reasons it would be very confusing.

Poor example, I think.
You can speak in English or in Russian, using many different words, but the script just two words that means "assign the value" and "create and assign the value"

{e.other.post == rebuttal }?{e.this.post = "Bah! its still a language"}:{e.this.post = "I'm glad you agree with me"}

{e.other.post == rebuttal }?{e.this.post = "Bah! its still a language"}:{e.this.post = "I'm glad you agree with me"}

sorry but i would have to say that it is better to use ":=" e.other.collideset :=(what you want the collideset to be) but when doing the collideset thing make sure not to write the collideset letter like A-B-C etc. Instead use there numbers, a=1 b=2 c=4 d=8 e=16 f=32 g=64 then add the ones you need. for example if i want it to change the collideset to be both a and b it would be a+b or 1+2 or "3"

it is easy if you know it
I long to write about it, but I thought that this topic has already been raised.

[Chronos]

sorry but i would have to say that it is better to use ":="

It's not. You use := when creating a variable or spawning an object. You use = when changing a variable, which is what he's doing. Seriously, you two are wrong, so stop arguing with us about it.

[Mr_Stabby]

while we're at it lets lets start calling all non-white ethnicities nignogs coz its easyer and makes no difference to me

[Most_Likely]

Was tat really necessary?

[RicH]

Most likely...

[Chronos]

Man, that was rich.

[canadian joe]

well, i guess that settles it. just use = instead of :=

[RicH]

Not always.

[Mystery]

Yes lets repeat this whole thread all over again.
Thyme is a language. SPEAK PROPER THYME!

= To change!
:= To create!
