Collision in Script editor

[Rufus 01]

Hey is it possible to make a script in the script editor for Collison events?
I meen:

Code: Select all

if ("actor1" collide by "actor2") { //my code }

Befor everyone is saying no its not possible with the key down event it works.
For example:

Code: Select all

char * key = GetKeyState()
if (key[KEY_LEFT]) { //my code }

but I need all that with 2 actors...
I want that because it would be esier to make a script where I get an statement when 2 actors collide at the same time by one other actor.
For example:

Code: Select all

if ("actor1" && "actor2"  collide by   "actor3") { //my code }

Sorry for my bad englisch

I'm pretty sure you can't do that the closest thing might be the CollisionFree function, whcih isn't very useful... But you might be able to work around, if your actors are simple shapes, or you don't care whether the 'collision' is pixel-perfect or not. IE you might just be able to check distance, and see if it's small enough, or perhaps x and y coordinates to get a more rectangular shape.

hmm
the collisonFree function I used by myself but don't know how it works...
and the distance is to complicated I think for want I want it...

What is the exact situation you're using?

[Rufus 01]

I want to get one score point only when 2 actors at the same time collide with the 3rd.
I could make it also with 2 variables and a script that test it 2 variables have state 1 or any other thing.
But I want to do all that without any variables..
Because so I could have all of that little thing in one script and musn't change in the script windows of every CollisonEvent...
I hope u understand me

What shape are the actors? and are they cloned, or is there only one of each?

[Rufus 01]

everyone is a own normal actor.

One thing you can use is the getAllActorsInCollision function (why didn't I think of that before). So it might be something like:

Code: Select all

int n;
Actor *actors = getAllActorsInCollission("Event Actor", &n);
if (actors)
{
    char found;
    int i;
    for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        if (strcmp(actors[i].name, "actor1") == 0);
        {
            found |= 1;
        }
        else if (strcmp(actors[i].name, "actor2") == 0);
        {
            found |= 2;
        }

        if (found == 3)
        {
            //Your Code here
            break;
        }
    }
}

on actor3's draw actor. You might want to modify that somewhat.

Thanks I will test it now in GE
