calculation collision point

gazjm

Hi,

Im having a problem where by i need to detect when an actor collides with another, but I can't use overlap or collide because i'm using instances of an actor. I created a rule to detect when the actor xy = the other actor xy, but this obviously doesn't work when the collision isn't right on the centre.

I also tried setting rules for when x + 10 and y +10 etc but due to the actor coming in from random angles it doesn't work. Is my only way to create individual actors rather than instances?

Thanks

thanks for that, I will give it a go! I'm rubbish at knowing what the equation functions are, only just started using vector to angle! this will help lots with my current game.

Cheers

I'm not clear why you can't use overlap or collide?

Have u tried tags?

gazjm

yes, that was my workaround using a different tag for each instance. I was after a quicker way, in the end I have used a mixture of tags and magnitude. Now I know how to use magnitude i've been able to dump lots of code out the game.
