Basket or Bucket...How to set collision for 1 direction only?

HugeGraphics

I couldn't find anything on the forum related. We are trying to develop a scoring system for a bucket or basket. For example, shoot something in the air and it only scores on the way back down. Hope this is clear. Thanks in advance.

Interesting problem. I suppose one way would be to have the ball or whatever spawn an identical actor and destroy itself when it passes the "Y" height of the basket. The new actor could have a different tag from the original, and only the new actor tag could increase the score.

There is probably a better way, but that just comes to mind.

Thanks for the idea. I guess i might should note that the "bucket" will be moving.

There is probably an easier way than this too, but if the bucket or basket is staying still, then you could always have an actor hidden behind it, with the length being the same as the buckets top, and very thin. And just set collision to it.

i tried something similar tshirtbooth but it kept scoring even if i hit from the bottom and then it passed back through. ideas? Hope that made sense.

Edit: worked Great mostly, but what if you don't want it to destroy the ball? And it scores/destroys when it hits the sides. Thanks

I noticed Joe has that going on his platform demo

you jump up through the block labeled cloud but you land on it.

Can't download though

On ball:
when linear velocity Y < 0
collide with basket
