1st collision collide/ 2nd pass through...possible?

PixelPun

Hey guys, I am having a problem with and actor restarting its rule on every touch... even though it is a destroy rule. I have it so that when overlaps or collides with my actor it changes attribute to self.color.alpha to 0 then after 0.8 seconds it destroys itself. I keep it around for the .8 so that it can emit particles... only problem is the actor that it collides with sometimes will hit it again before the .8 seconds... so then I get an endless loop..

my question: is it possible to have the actor only effect it on one touch? if so how is this accomplished?

you rock! thanks so much!

ugh... im such a newb at this stuff... Do i create this as a Rule?

Add a boolean attribute to your actor. Then put what Tbooth said in a rule.
