Deleting with lasers

[tallman1996]

There is a certain object I want to be able to delete when it is hit by a laser. What scripting code would I use to do so?
I don't want anything else to be destroyed by the laser though, just one object.

Not so difficult.

Laser:
onLaserHit = (e)=>{e.geom.materialName == "DeletableGeom" ? {Scene.RemoveEntity(e.geom)} : {}}

Geom:
materialName = "DeletableGeom";

== Explanation ==
You can use Ternary operation for conditional-branch.
With Thyme, ternary operation needs {}. i.e. condition ? {true case} : {false case} . (cf. 1.8.0 Thyme expression error)
e.geom is a geom which is hit by laser.

Just like this:

onLaserHit:

Code: Select all

(e)=>{e.other.density = 0}

onCollide/onHitByLaser:

Code: Select all

(e)=>{density = 0}

So basically just make the density to 0 and the object will vanish.

egk, in the newer algodoo version they made it so you can use
Scene.RemoveEntity(e.geom)
as a entity remover, this is more reliable then setting the density 0

[tatt61880]

as a entity remover, this is more reliable then setting the density 0

Oh, is this true? ...jk
I also believe that Scene.RemoveEntity is more proper for deleting entity than density = 0 method.

How do you use that using scene.my?
