Expression Editor

azimpact

I'm trying to keep my rules down and am wondering is there a way to do a OR in the expression editor.

For example, I have 3 bad guys on different locations on the screen and some higher than others so they set their own X and Y.

My good guy uses (game.BadGuyY) + (1/2*(self.size.height) -3) which allow him to jump and kill the bad guys.

Each badguy has their own x and y value.

In the PHP world, I would use || to specify OR so my rule would look like this:
(game.BadGuyY)||(game.BadGuy2Y)|| (game.BadGuy3Y)+ (1/2*(self.size.height) -3).

Is there an a expression for the editor to use for the || OR value in the above sample.

I've tried using || and it don't work.

At the top of the rule where it says all, switch it to any.

Thanks for that but it won't work.

There is a collide rule that will cancel out the other rules.

I should of put that in my first post that the rule plus a collide with the actor rule are what triggers it.

A "one or another" OR in GS would be the Otherwise section. Any help?

Ah yes, I forgot about the otherwise.

Not the way I wanted to go because it does add more rules instead of handling it with one expression, but it works.

Thanks!

you can also use tags. So in the home screen click on "actors" in the middle of the screen and then to the left you will see a list where you can click the "+" to add tags. Create a tag called badguys and then drag all of the different bad guys on top of that tag. Then you can use this with collide/overlap rules. That may help.
