Push/pull boxes.

[Grynde]

Greetings all. I have been able to answer most of my questions perusing the tuts and threads, however, I am at a loss in figuring out how best to allow my character to push/pull a box.

Initially, I tried collision (which allows me to push but no pull).

Feeling smart, I then attempted to change the parent with a button down command. But that allows me to grab the box from anywhere on screen.

I imagine it is a hybrid of the 2 concepts, but I will take any and all advice you guys are willing to throw my way.

Cheers.

Do the button but only on collision using:

Code: Select all

char*key=GetKeyState();
if(key[KEY_SPACE]==1)
{
 change parent
}

Thank you Hblade.

All is working properly (in that regard at least)

Once I knew what was going on, I added a release as well.

Code: Select all

    char*key=GetKeyState();
    if(key[KEY_s]==1)
    {
     ChangeParent("Collide Actor", "Event Actor");
    }
    char*key=GetKeyState();
    if(key[KEY_s]==0)
    {
     ChangeParent("Collide Actor", "(none)");
    }

No need for 2 char*keys Just the top one

Fantastic. Thanks so much.
