Detecting collision only on the left of an actor

steeler0038

I want my object to only detect a collision on the left side of it. How can i do this?

The only way I can think of is to constrain your actor to a thin line type actor right inside on the left of the actors position. And then just set the normal collision actor to the line.

thank you sam... i was thinking something of the same thing

or in the other actors it's colliding with you could have a rule that says if self.position.X is < x of other actor (make this a game attribute) collide with other actor.

I really hope that custom size collision boxes are something they implement soon - seems like so many people need it and the workarounds can sometimes be painful, particularly if you're rotating actors and moving them on the y plane.
