loosen script

[FuzzyLogicBrain]

what is the on collide or on laser hit script, to loosen an object?

[Someone Else]

I don't think there is one. However, if there is, it would look like this:
e.geom.loosen
Why?
e.geom.liquefy (if I spelt it right) liquefies the object.

You can try changing the density to +inf to glue, and the normal density to unglue.

Hm hm! I'm sorry, I didn't quite explain clearly enough, to loosen a geom from a HINGE, not glued to unglued. Sorry.

Use scene.my.* variables to set a value for the impulse break limit of the hinge, then when the object is hit by the laser make the scene.my.* variable = 0, therefore instantly breaking the hinge.

That works. But it still doesn't quite give the same effect as Geometry Actions/Loosen.

Didn't you read his post? He wants to loosen it from a hinge.

[Someone Else]

I read the post.

I also want to access the Geom Actions / Loosen thing via Thyme.

[FuzzyLogicBrain]

the thing is, im am SPAWNING the hinge, several times over, so i cant have varibles. and i agree totally with Someone Else

[TC42]

so i cant have varibles

Yes, you can. I forget how to spawn with dynamic variables though. Doesn't it have something to do with geval?

Try this code:

Code: Select all

    scene.my.hinge1 = +inf;
    scene.my.hinge2 = +inf;
    Scene.addBox({
        geomID := 28536;
        pos := [15.0, -5.0];
        size := [6.0, 2.0]
    });
    Scene.addBox({
        geomID := 28535;
        pos := [11.0, -5.0];
        size := [6.0, 2.0]
    });
    Scene.addBox({
        geomID := 28534;
        pos := [7.0, -5.0];
        size := [6.0, 2.0]
    });
    Scene.addHinge({
        geom0 := 28536;
        geom0pos := [-2.0, 0.0];
        geom1 := 28535;
        geom1pos := [2.0, 0.0];
        impulseLimit := {scene.my.hinge1};
        size := 0.7359517
    });
    Scene.addHinge({
        geom0 := 28535;
        geom0pos := [-2.0, 0.0];
        geom1 := 28534;
        geom1pos := [2.0, 0.0];
        impulseLimit := {scene.my.hinge2};
        size := 0.7359517
    })

It declares two scene.my variables,
spawns three boxes joined together by two hinges,
and the hinges have their individual impulse break limits set to the variables.

Note that if you run this code, then in another, later collision that still happens while the boxes are falling, set scene.my.hinge1 and scene.my.hinge2 to 0, the hinges will not instantly break. Instead, they will hold together until the boxes hit something. Then the hinges will break and the boxes will fly apart.

huurrr... no, thanks
