Is this Collide command Viable?

[poopbrigade]

is this possible????
I want my player to move up when it collides with spring(by the way I've noticed that -y is up and +y is down should it be the other way around?)


if (CollisionFree("Event Actor", spring.x, spring.y)) y=y-5;

Wouldn't this work?

Coliision with Spring from character:

Code: Select all

yvelocity-=32;


That should simulate a basic method of bouncing off of a spring

[Thanx]

actually that code should be

Code: Select all

yvelocity = -32;

Because HBlade's code only subtracted from the already existing yvelocity... So if it were faster, it still would have continued falling, just at a slower speed.
If you want to simulate faster objects being accelerated better, then I suggest something like this:

Code: Select all

yvelocity = -32 * (yvelocity/somenumber);

In place of somenumber just write in a number which will serve as some kind of a ratio, as for how sensitive the spring is. Experiment with the number until you achieve the desired effect...

Wow good job thanx!
