Making a Laser Push an Object!?!?

[Laraso]

Is there any way that you can make a laser push an object, i.e. onLaserHit{e.geom.velocity = 50} or something!?!?

I don't believe that you can change velocity onLaserHit just yet, although you can always create a polygon on collide to push off of the shape.

Code: Select all

scene.addCircle({pos :=e.pos; killer := true; radius := 0.125})

This is what Fujitsu meant. Make sure that the object it hits is immortal.

I thought it would be something like this:

Code: Select all

onLaserHit:     (e)=>{e.geom.vel=velocity here}

or is that not possible in Algodoo?

I am sorry to say cdh that it is impossible. I have tried. There needs to be variables for size, radius and velocity.

@standardtoaster: You don't have to make the circle a killer.
@cdh473: No... I don't think it is...

Dangit, I was hoping to make a rocket and/or gun using a laser doing this. Looks like my hopes have just been crushed.

You don't have to make them killer if you love lag. ;D

Lol, or you might just have a nice computer, like me.

Maybe he likes billions of useless circles?

Yes, actually. Very useful when trying to make a low lag bomb... Well, sorta...

Frank made it before.

Frank made it before.

What, a laser velocity changer???

[RA2lover]

nope. a laser pusher which doesn't work well when pushing in speeds above 120 m/s

basically a spawn gun.
