If not overlaping?

Hunnenkoenig

How could I possibly set up rules, which tell an actor to do something, if it's not overlaping or colliding with another actor?

Has anybody an idea?

YEs,
Create a rule
Overlaps or Collide with the object you want, and you don't put any rule there
But, you put your rules in OtherWise.

Hope it helps.

hey, this seems to be a very unusual solution, but may be working.

Thanks! :-)

If that doesn't work create a boolean attribute.

When overlaps with ??????
change game.boolean true
OTHERWISE
change game.boolean to false

Rule 2
When game.boolean is false
do blah blah blah

RH

Not unusual at all, thats how i imagined it.

Or you could create a rule that when overlaps or collides constrain attribute self.overlap to true otherwise constrain to false

and then when self.overlap is false do X

EDIT: ooh beaten to it

Thanks, it works.

Somehow I had a misconception about else rules.

What method did you end up using? I have never tried just having the main rule section empty as a way of using the otherwise section. Is that what you did?

To be honest, I had two things I wanted to do with this.

The one I solved with

If overlaps do this
otherwise do something compeletely different

Until now I always thought, I have to make the counterpart rule for "otherwise"

So I thought I have to make
if overlaps do this
otherwise if doesn't overlap do something esle

While I was doing this, I forgot, what I wanted to do next :-D
I am tired.

I will experiment around tomorrow and then I surely will have something again, because my game concept seems to want to use this often.

For now, I have no brain for it :-)

That is an example of the learning curve for me. I have used level editors, and 3D programs, and have learned - you need to know the package well enough to build the work arounds to make it do what you want.

Right now I am fumbling through the basics.
