How to Make a Puzzle Bubble? :/

Rubiyooo

Hi guys how are you?

I am making a bonus stage for my game.
But it´s very difficult to me do a ball than when i shoot these will be destroyed when 3 balls collide.

I try with 2 atributes.
-hits
-numberofball

But the second ball (hits=1) collide with the first ball(hits=1). The second ball collide with the same first ball.
Then ball 1=hits2 <> ball2=hits2

But when to the third ball hits with firt ball or second ball . Never produce a destroy because the ball 1 collided with ball 2 in the second shoot.
And never can to revolved this with the ball actor and their attributes.

Anybody can help me?

You need to have a boolean attribute on each ball called self.hit set to false. In the ball actor's rules, do When collide with actor of type/tag ball AND self.hit is false, change attribute game.hits to game.hits+1 and change attribute self.hit to true.

I'm not sure about the calculation though, because if ball1 hits ball2, game.hits will increase by 2, and then if ball1 hits ball3, game.hits will increase by 1. You'll have to work with that to get it right.

Nothing i do it too but without boolean attribute to game.hit

And all balls put "3" when two balls collide -> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6352083/Captura de pantalla 2012-04-12 a la(s) 23.29.52.png

Can you zip your game file and send it to me via a dropbox link?

@Rubiyooo
what is happening with your rules:
the first behavior … changes a condition that fires your rules …
when that condition is changed … the computer stops processing that rule

try:
Rule: when
Event: overlaps/collides with actor of type: ball
-Rule: when
--Attribute: self.hit is false
--changeAttribute: self.hit To: true
--Otherwise: changeAttribute: self.hits To: self.hits+1

A behaviour in another behaviour WTF!! :O

MotherHoose

yes that is it! … @Rubiyooo

a rule within another rule … the terminology for this is a 'nested' rule

you wrote it perfectly! … did you try it out? … did it work?

MH

Rubiyooo

Yes @motherhoose And does not works

p.d my nick is rubiyOOO no rubiyOO

MotherHoose

Nothing because your demo only count hits an actor. But i need with two or more balls :S

sorry … @Rubiyooo … that demo was a general example of nested Rules

looking at your video … try on the ballActor

Rule: when
Event: overlaps/collides with ball
-Rule: when
-Attribute: self.hits = 1
--changeAttribute self.hits To: 2
-Rule: when
-Attribute: self.hits = 2
--changeAttribute self.hits To: 3

==
to eliminate constant scrolling in the actorPane …
the actors that work correctly can be moved to the bottom of that pane …
and the actor you are working with can be dragged to the top …
quickest way is Home > Actors … and drag them around
