Touch Managing

Vmlweb

Hey,

I have a actor called zombie.
Is there any way to get how many zombie actors are touching an object at once?

Thanks,
Victor

you would need a global attribute called zombieTouches or something like that.

In the zombie actor, add two boolean attributes called:
isTouchingObject
hasAddedToZombieTouches

Add a rule that says:

When Actor touches or collides with Actor of type (your object here)
Change Attribute: self.isTouchingObject to TRUE
Otherwise
Change Attribute: self.isTouchingObject to FALSE

Another rule that says:

ALL
When self.isTouchingObject is TRUE
When self.hasAddedToZombieTouches is FALSE
Change Attribute: game.zombieTouches = game.zombieTouches + 1;
Change Attribute:self.hasAddedToZombieTouches to TRUE

And another rule that says:

ALL
When self.isTouchingObject is FALSE
When self.hasAddedToZombieTouches is TRUE
Change Attribute: game.zombieTouches = game.zombieTouches - 1;
Change Attribute:self.hasAddedToZombieTouches to FALSE

Hope this helps!
