need help [scripter please]...solved

[hiltropper]

hi there
i have a question: there are two circles , they collide, delete each other and create a new circle.this one has a oncollide script

circle onCollide=

Code: Select all

(e)=>{
    e.other.controlleracc == 10 ? {
        e.this.density = 0;
        e.other.density = 0;
        scene.addcircle({
            pos = e.pos;
            radius = 0.02;
            oncollide = (e)=>{e.this.colorhsva = [1, 1, 1, 1]}
        })
    } : {false}
}

i want to have the added circle oncollide to change something (not colorhsva was just to fill the gap) BUT not the oncollide srcipt of the collided circle (yes it will be deleted but its a learning question ) , what happens everytime. i think its because the function is for (e) as it is for the old circle ,too ? what do i have to write instead?
thanks

I don't know what you are trying to do, but I think you may need to delete the "false" thing. What I mean is,

Code: Select all

{e.other.controllAcc == 10} ? {[blahblah]} : {}

Notice how in the last part of the IF statement, there is nothing. You have {false}. That may be your problem.
And also, instead of "e.this.blah", I always just use "blah". It is more reliable and more concise. That is, by being shorter, there is less to mess up.

And I always put braces around ALL parts of the IF statement.

Let me know if this helps.

no thanks but that is not the problem false just makes nothing happen it works any other time when i dont want a flase action

[Someone Else]

Well, maybe spawn the circle BEFORE deleting the other two circles??????
I don't understand your problem.

[hiltropper]

my problem is the circle which spawns another one oncollide (which also has an oncollide action) , turns its oncollide script into the oncollide script of the new spawned circle .i guessed that it happens because i set (e) two times, dont know thats what i wanted to know
for the oncollide script above it means :

Code: Select all

(e)=>{
    e.other.controlleracc == 10 ? {
        e.this.density = 0;
        e.other.density = 0;
        scene.addcircle({
            pos = e.pos;
            radius = 0.02;
            oncollide = (e)=>{e.this.colorhsva = [1, 1, 1, 1]}
        })
    } : {false}
}



turns into

Code: Select all

             (e)=>{e.this.colorhsva = [1, 1, 1, 1]}


; a new circle spawns which has the same code

i want only the new circle to have this script , it should not influence the parent object.

[Someone Else]

I see no problems with that. The scripted circle kills itself before spawning the other circle. I don't get it.

Are you saying that, when you type it in, it automatically reverts to the colorHSVA thing?

All I can say is, add the braces, remove the false, and correctly capitalize colorHSVA.

See if this doesn't work.

Code: Select all

    (e)=>{
        {e.other.controlleracc == 10} ? {
            density = 0;
            e.other.density = 0;
            scene.addcircle({
                pos = e.pos;
                radius = 0.02;
                oncollide = (e)=>{colorHSVA = [1, 1, 1, 1]}
            })
        } : { }
    }

its a question about basics - my scene works without problems as you mention ,BUT if the circles wont be deleted ,they would change their scripts what they should NOT do . i just want to know how to improve something...

[Someone Else]

Wait- you want the original circles to delete their own script when they collide?
If so, try this:

Code: Select all

onCollide = (e)<={}

[hiltropper]

ill say it as clear as possible: my problem is
i have a BOX
the BOX has oncollide option A:
it spawns a CIRCLE oncollide A

this circle has a oncollide option B ,why not

->there is something wrong with the codes ,BECAUSE:

after the BOX collides and A happens
(so CIRCLE spawned with its option B)
the BOX suddenly changes their option A into B
so both ,BOX(used to have A) and CIRCLE have the option B

-----scripts in posts above----

there should be an easy possibility to solve this problem !
or?

[Someone Else]

Ahh, now I understand. But, I still don't get why this is happening.

Maybe try spawning the circle on a different collision layer????

Don't listen them
just use := instead of = in scene.addCircle

[Someone Else]

Don't listen them
just use := instead of = in scene.addCircle

:facepalm:

WWHHHHYYYYYYYYY did I not see that before?

[hiltropper]

works . when I started scripting I used to write ":=" in any case.
thanks guys

[Kilinich]

:thumbup: works . when I started scripting I used to write ":=" in any case.
thanks guys

You shouldn't always use := , it necessary only for creating new variables.

[hiltropper]

yes i meant that , in any case when creating variables , but i forgot about it for whatever reason.
