HELP! PLEASE!

How do you script an object like a circle so when it collides with another object, it clones itself?

[Kilinich]

np, just write an onCollide event with circle spawning and set onCollide := e.this.onCollide in new circle for replication...

[crytek]

I don't know how to do object spawning. Please give me the exact script.

[Kilinich]

scene.addcircle({pos := [0,0]; radius := 1; color := [1,1,1,1]})

[crytek]

scene.addcircle({pos := [0,0]; radius := 1; color := [1,1,1,1]})

Thanks! But it doesn't really clone the object. It just makes another circle. I want a script that can clone any object on collide.

({controllerAcc == 11}) ? {
e.this.radius := 0;
controllerAcc = 10.9;
app.step;
app.undo
} : {
Scene.addCircle ({
collideSet := collideSet
opaqueBorders := opaqueBorders;
textureMatrix := textureMatrix;
drawCake := drawCake
density := density
pos := pos;
radius := radius;
color := color;
drawBorder := drawBorder;
angle := angle
})
}

I hope you get the idea. There are other things that you can copy to your clone, but I don't need to put them all. Just add the ones in that you need (if you see the pattern). Also, this spawns your clone on top of you original. If you want it somewhere else, just change pos := pos to pos := [x,y]

the script doesn't even work... When I put the script into the onCollide menu, it turns red. And yes I placed it between the parenthesis.

Scene.addCircle({
collideSet := collideSet;
opaqueBorders := opaqueBorders;
textureMatrix := textureMatrix;
drawCake := drawCake;
density := density;
pos := pos;
radius := radius;
color := color;
drawBorder := drawBorder;
angle := angle
})
}

Well, there's a good reason for that (you can probably quite easily see yourself if you look).

If not, it was the semicolons, missing e.this.* and e.* (depending on whether you want the circles to be in the same place or not, it may be e.this.pos or e.pos (respectively) instead of e.pos), nonetheless, you should very easily be able to understand what's going on there (why App.step; App.undo happens you may not be clear on, but the rest you should) and the missing redeclaration of the e.this.angle identifier.

Code: Select all

(e)=>{
    ({controllerAcc == 11}) ? {
        e.this.radius := 0;
        e.this.angle := 0;
        controllerAcc = 10.9;
        app.step;
        app.undo
    } : {
        Scene.addCircle({
            collideSet := e.this.collideSet;
            opaqueBorders := e.this.opaqueBorders;
            textureMatrix := e.this.textureMatrix;
            drawCake := e.this.drawCake;
            density := e.this.density;
            pos := e.pos;
            radius := e.this.radius;
            color := e.this.color;
            drawBorder := e.this.drawBorder;
            angle := e.this.angle
        })
    }
}


If you don't understand how it works, you can go to [Thyme] New Method to see.

While I was writing this, Paradigm posted, his code still has a few errors, so this one should be better, also, I'd heard someone say New Method didn't work anymore, but it seems that it does, that's good news .

Thanks! This one works!!
