Making an actor appear after colliding with another?

[Hyperyon]

I need somekind of trigger to make a character appear. I was thinking of colliding my main character into another player and create the wanted character ...I learned how to destroy a player using a collision event on a diamond but i cant figure how to create one

Please help !

that's easy i did it with my game.make your character you want to appear.Then place him where he should appear.change his transparency to invisible.Then make another actor that your player will collide into.add a collision event then select change transparency of appearing actor.make it go to zero.when you collide with one actor the other will appear

Hey, that was cake:) thanks!

However, the character keeps appearing everytime I collide into the actor that changes transperancy. How can I make the character appear once?

make it where you destroy the transparency actor once you collide.then you will only be able to make the enemy appear once.

but, meh.. I dont wanna destroy the collide actor:(

oh ok.listen.
1.select the player.
2.select add event.
3.select collision on any side of the trigger actor.
4.select change transparency to zero.
5.when you collide on an invisible actor nothing happens.


6.or use event disable.

Ah, I forgot to mention...the invisible actor also has a path and everytime I collide with the trigger, the actor follows the path from scratch

[pavel329]

he should still follow path.

Solved it. I created two actors with the same animation. One wich is destroyed and creates the character and the other has a physical reponse 0 with the main player. This way the appearing actor follows the path once and nothing happens when I bump into the remaining actor. Fair trade. This came to me on the moment, i'm sure theres an easier way to do it
