Hi.
I'm trying to make an event where if the player actor is standing under a certain actor, and you press "J", a certain event will occur. let's call it "eventX". This would be a simple problem usually, but the thing is, The actor he's supposed to stand under is a tile actor. This makes things more difficult. If I use an event like,
if(player.x == tile.x)
{eventX;}

It won't work. It seems that only the first pixel of the first tile is set as the tile actor's x value.

What I want, is a script that allows eventX to occur when the player actor is under the tile actor, but that it will work on every tile, not just the first one.

By under, do you mean in collision? If so, you can use getAllActorsInCollision in your keydown j event, or you can add a keydown j event to your collision event.
player -> Collision with tile (Repeat Enabled) -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

char* key = GetKeyState();
if(key[KEY_j]==1)
{
    eventX;
}

One thing to note, currently this event will trigger continuously, but you can use a variable to stop it. Another method, if nothing has a higher zdepth is to use getactor, but if the above example works, I'd probably stick with it.

Try doing this (note: I'm not sure it will work on tiles though)

Code: Select all

if(Player.x >= Tile.x && Player.x <= Tile.x + Tile.width)
{
    Do_Event();
}

Tell me if it works please

That won't work with tiles.

That won't work with tiles

Darn

Sky knows everything haha

Thanks for the help, but I think I've solved the problem. I made an invisible actor which is basically a long vertical line, that has a collision and collisionfinish event, which I use to detect whether the player actor is under the tile or not.
