Event: once only

[Fenrir]

ok, so I got my player to walk against some sarkophags, and as player collides with one of them it will open. Problem is that this event will repeat itself for as long as my player collides with the sarkophag. I want it to open only once, but still keep the physical response between actors.
Help me.. anyone, please I'll buy you a car if you do!

on player collision with sarkophag

script
physical response ( player only )
change anim ( open sarkophag )

Perhaps while adding the collision event you selected "repeat while colliding".

This doesn't stop the sarkophag from opening at every and each collition.

Thanks anyway man!

Try to create a variable coll_once.

On create, coll_once = 0 ;

On collision, coll_once ++ ; // sarekophag opens when coll_once == 1

if coll_once > 2, coll_once = 2; // No more collision actions

Try to create a variable coll_once.

On create, coll_once = 0 ;

On collision, coll_once ++ ; // sarekophag opens when coll_once == 1

if coll_once > 2, coll_once = 2; // No more collision actions

I don't understand how or for whom I should put this into the script.

Nevermind, I found another solution by destroying the sarkophag on inpact and creating a new sarkophag.

But thanks for your help!

On your_Actor A :
On event CreateActor, Action Script >

coll_once = 0 ;

On event Collision (with sarkophag), Script >

coll_once ++ ;
if (coll_once > 2)
{
coll_once = 2 ;
}

On actor Sarkophag :
on event DrawActor, Script >

if (coll_once == 1)
{
ChangeAnimation(your animation) ;
}

I want to keep the physical response to the sarkophag, but only change animation upon the first collition.

add an animation finish event

"add"
"animation finish"
(the animation that opens sarkophag)
"add action"
"change animation"
Actor: sarkophag
Animation: sarkophag(not the one that opens the sarkophag)
direction: forward
"add"
"immediate action"

i hope this will work

Thanky Ingsan, so very much!
I know you had your hopes up for the car, but alas there is none. If I ever get one, I'll send it to you. Any requests of model?
