Destroyable characters

philliswillis

Hi, I'm very new to this and have hit a couple of snags along the way.

My first of what will be many question's is, how can i make objects destroyable depending upon my main characters speed, similar to the system Rovio uses in Angry Birds?

I believe that what you're asking is that you want the actor to be destroyed when it stops moving? Yes?

RULE:
When self.linear velocity.X = 0 AND when self.linear velocity.Y = 0
Destroy Actor

Is this what you're asking?

if you want the bad guys to only be hurt a little when lightly touched and hurt a lot when slammed into you'll need to do something like this:

1)create a game attribute called game.collideSpeed (real)
2)in the bird have this rule:

when collides with actor type green pig
change game.collideSpeed to magnitude(self.motion.linear.X,self.motion.linear.Y)

3) in the pig create a self attribute (integer) called self.hitpoints (set it to a number of your choice)
4) in the pig have this rule:

when collides with bird
change self.hitPoints to self.hitpoints-game.collideSpeed

5) in the pig have this rule

when self.hitpoints < ?????
change image to ???? (green pig with black eyes)

when self.hitpoints < 0
destroy actor

You'll need to experiment with this to figure out what to set the self.hitpoints to initially and what to use as your "black eyes" point value.

Thats looks good scitunes I'll give a go later, and no body needs to worry it's not an Angry Birds rip off.
