Collide Actor

[laddsa]

Hi, if I have several actors moving around the screen randomly, and one stationery actor (called 'wall'), how can I find out which actor is colliding with the 'wall' actor?

Thanks in advance!

are you using clones?

Hi Game a Gogo,

I haven't used any clone actors, just several individual actors (and the wall actor).

Thanks,

well, in that case, you will have to do a collision check for every actor or using the "getactorincollision" something like that

Use the 'collide' actor in the script to get the name of current collide actor.
In a collision event, you can get the name of collide actor with:

Code: Select all

collide.name

Use the 'collide' actor in the script to get the name of current collide actor.
In a collision event, you can get the name of collide actor with:

Code: Select all

collide.name

cool, that will come in handy!

You receive one collision event for each actor.

That works fine and I am able to determine the actor that has collided with the wall. How do I use this information to move this actor? I have tried putting the 'collide.name' value into a string variable called 'col_actor' to identify the collide actor, and use it to move that actor, i.e.,

col_actor.x=col_actor.x-1;

But this doesn't seem to work. Is there another way I can achieve this?

Many thanks,

Use the MoveTo action relative to the collide actor:

Code: Select all

MoveTo(collide.clonename, -1, 0, 10, collide.clonename);

Will move the collide actor to left 1 pixel.

That works great! Thanks Makslane!
